id like to see some engine mod pictures just to get an idea of wat 2 go for ex silicone hoses induction kits etc etc thank you

 

[TooneySonic]

ha you really are keen aren't you!

beware once you start you wont be able to stop, money pit is car tuning!

anyway, personally i believe the best "induction" set up to go for is a freer breathing panel filter

with a CAF (cold air feed) with trumpet
.....

and samco hose

does it sound nice?

 

[whatisjustis]

If it's noise you're after mate, get yourself one of these...

Simota Carbon Aeroform. Get a CAF running to it and you won't notice a loss in power

 

[ForceIndia]

For the price of the maxogen, you could get matched inlets and a custom RSTuner remap. Cheaper, and better gains.

those are aweful. take air from nowhere but straight off the radiator, nice and hot.

I was just thinking that looking at the pic.

Maxogen for me, cost me £190

 

[sammyhale22]

maxogen is waste of time, just another induction kit that doesnt really gain anything over standard airbox but noise!

 

[172Ben]

But its a lovely looking waste of time

Which is why I now have a large CAF running directly to it. Rhino17 (IIRC) actually gained 1bph with his when last on the rollers but generally speaking, Induction kits do bugger all anyway except put a smile on your face!

13.9sec 1/4mile from a cup with a viper

there so many on the market at the mo, i love the look of the simota though im goin 4 the blue silicone hoses theme as well, but then i want a bit of gain an a verry sporty sound which might b the maxogen??? duno ive had a m8 with a pipercross he didnt recomend it at all thanks 4 the pics an comment guys really helpin me on the way still undersided so ill keep readin sugestions on wat ppl say cheers

Had a Viper with a sh*t cold feed, (see pic)

looked ok, but decided to put it too standard partly for insurance reasons. Put an ITG in there and much much prefere it. The standard airbox is well designed by Renault, the induction kits seem to be a bit of con tbh, although obviously I can't speak for the maxogen etc but its costs an arm and a leg so I would never bother.

The chap who mentioned matched inlets & RSremap is dead on, its a no brainer in my opinion if you want an actual performance gain!

 

[danny cup]

wat is matched inlets? dnt mean 2 sound daft lol

 

[Tigger]

^ The holes where the inlets meet are machined so they match, for a smoother air flow.

Someone will probably come along with a detailed explanation soon but that's the main idea

 

[danny cup]

cheers tigger lol

 

[Eckascliovalver]

Here is my cups engine bay mate. Blue samcos and a cda, The cda will not give me any gains i would have though but it looks good aswell as sounds good

 

[Invexis-]

[danny cup]

[danny cup]
