open i/k sucks in hot air from engine bay and will lose power, will sound good but defo lose power, if u can afford it go for the itg maxogen, carbon fibre airbox with itg filter i think they are £360 and are meant to give about 7bhp gain but u will probably need an engine re map to get the most...
right ive ordered a itg replacement filter and im going to take the pipe out of the airbox like cupboy said above and see what is sounds like, i dont expect any power gains from the itg but its a compromise for the time being until cash allows maybe a properly developed maxogen kit. i will post...
not talking about performance, just sound, k&n, green, k-techs, hill powers, piper x. want a nice roar from under the hood. used to have a k&n on my valver and it did sound really nice. didnt really notice anydrop in performance either.
mines is defo louder when hot, i think the magnex exhausts do get a bit louder the more miles they get on them. sure that was the case on my valver a few years back it i remember rightly.
saw this story on the whatcar website today at work, apparently these four or five dealerships in the midlands have got the last 40 pre reg cups with less than 100mls on the clocks going for £10999. bargain!! its in the website under the news
where is gdi based about. heard good things on the forum about it and andygdi seems to know his stuff. when the cash is available i might take a trip down for some mods.
anyone on here got one? im thinking of getting one to add to my magnex cat back system to try and free up some horses. will it make much difference in power? i see k tec quote +6bhp for there sports cat so surely a de cat would give about the same and is a lot cheaper. im also going to get an...
so far ive had my cup lowered and have a cat back magnex and now want to spend some more cash but cant decide what next. should i get the janspeed de cat pipe and a replacement filter (thinking itg panel filter) or should i go for the hill power induction kit or itg maxogen and leave the cat on...
does this sort of thing only happen to me? i spent about 3 hours this morning cleaning my cup inside and out, i even got the autoglym polish out and polished it for the very first time since ive bought it, then polished the glass then decided to take a run to the renault dealer on the outskirts...
my cup is going nowhere. had it nearly a year now only done 4800 miles and there is so much more i want to do to it, ie itg maxogen, de cat, unichip, its already been lowered and has a cat back magnex and ive upgraded the stereo and speakers and i love it. dont see the point in forking out more...
;)just saw my first 182 at local dealership parked outside with cup wheels and spoiler, it was the same colour as my cup i think, it looked the same anyway. not sure about those grey wheels though. cup is still the one to have;)
thinking of getting one of these for my cup. anybody got one? would like some opinions on power/noise difference from standard airbox and also how much are they with cliosport discount?
but ive also read on here that somebody had one fitted and ended up needing a rebuild due to the chip causing major engine probs, dont know if due to running too lean but it puts me off a bit
spotted an ad in the local autotrader for a dealer in fife who has rr etc and is a unichip stockist. anybody on here got one? cant these chips by programmed to run with other mods as and when they are added and im i right in saying it is a piggyback chip so the standard chip is left and this...
if u have the magnex back box on your standard renault system the magnex centre section wont fit as the back box is a different size to the one magnex use on the full system
is this available yet for the cup/172? the last time i looked on their website it wasnt listed and yet i look in media/pics and gb leo has one fitted to his cup? whats the story cause i need one.
i want to replace the standard filter on my cup but cant decide what to go for. im really tempted by the hill power i/k which ive seen pics of on the web site and i really like the noise these open kits give and this seems to be the best bet for an open type filter as it has the heat sheild to...
yeah i went to a well respected place in edinburgh a while back and they were all for the focals but we are talking serious cash like over £200 for the front components alone and i dont want to spend loads, would be happy with infinitys or similar.
