i think coco meant people dont use em in 172 / 182 cause the set up doesnt work too well...

 

[soche]

set up is similar in most cars as it usually sits directly off the air intake which is most often at the back above the engine, where all the hot air sits...

 

[steamywindows]

its ok im not getting one i just need a picture of one to show somebody i cant find one anywhere im going to cry

I think people are trying to tell you, its unlikely you will find a pic of a 172/182 with one fitted as they are crap and people know its not worth fitting it in the 1st place.

u can check out mine on my 1.4, but ive re-located it to go down by the battery and have a front air feed from bumper, coz it was sat right infront of the radiator originally!

in retrospect i should have got a pipercross or just something thats sealed and that goes right to the bumper..

[leeds_182]

I had one in my 182 - made a great noise but the performance did suffer.

Have you got any pics of the generation two mate? Would be interested to see that!

Here is mine

[George16v]

Typhoon kits look wickeda!!

 

[nelson182]

What are the advantages on the generation 2 model? Is there a more direct cold air supply?

 

[George16v]

Has heat shields and stuff - But the typhoon kit relocates the IK to under the battery area - madness

 

[nelson182]

Ive got a K and N 57i kit. I know a lot of people on here say it affects performance, but I only really notice it on hot days like we had last week. Plus I love the sound. So just wondered what generation 2 was like, and what most people on here also think of the typhoon induction kit?

 

[George16v]

Well I have a K&N 57i kit and I am running 181bhp so it cant be all bad eh!

And Yes sound is f***ing awesome - Have a look at the installation instructions on k&Ns site to see what the typhoon looks like

They are expensive though at about £280, generation 2 kits are about the £220 mark too.

 

[rich[182]]

reckon sound is better than a BMC CDA or Viper or Maxogen ?

 

[George16v]

Definately mate - The K&Ns are all open and cotton gauze - Giving that lovely raspy sound - Unfortunately when you have a 4" bore Stainless Pipe from the manifold back (like myself lol) you cant hear anything else

 

[nelson182]

Yeah, I love the sound of mine, turns a lot of heads. Does anyone know if the Generation 2 ones sound as goos? Im thinking of getting one for the birds Cooper S.

George 16v, is that 181bhp at the drive wheels? Thats good. and defo agree, love the sound



Standard 182s are about 150-160 at the drive wheels arent they? 57i kit must have out 4 or 5 bhp on that??

 

[RobFenn]

Cant beat em for sound, i met a 172 owner some time ago at a trackday and he had one on his. Was one of the loudest cars there and it was the only modification on the car.

Finally someone agrees with me!!!

 

[James Bushell]

Dont have any pics of the Gen 2 yet.. will make sure i get some at the next Breakfast run, on the 17th and post them up..(dont have a digi camera at the mo..)

Must say tho.. its wicked.. even in 35 degrees the other weekend, it was still pulling strong.. and sounds the same..

 

[nelson182]

Yeah Typhoon looks smart, but Id love to hear it. Is it anything near as loud as K&N?

I was starting to think no one liked K&N kits, but it seems quite a few people on here have em.

 

[Eskiisbest]

ill let you know thinking about getting one. Got a little trick up my slieve for it aswell

 

[steamywindows]

i had my k+n on before i got my exhaust and i loved it sounded not too loud just perfect then i got my exhaust on and it was too loud i thought it was the exhaust.yesterday i took my k+n off cos im selling my car and its 100% better to drive.when you set off from cold it doesnt judder and lose power and you can hear the woman on the sat nav speaking its shame im selling

 

[nelson182]

Yeah car is lumpy when cold, but you still cant beat the noise it makes. Im looking at getting Hayward and scott twin pipes on my 182 next like 182WRC has done.

Eskissbest i have forwarded you a copy of PM about induction hole.

 

[George16v]

The Generation two kit will sound just as good as the 57i kit because it is the similar just comes with a heatshiled etc, The typhoon kit is only listed for the mk1 172 at the mo. but would fit a mk2 aswell and it is again a similar filter (cotton gause) but it relocates it to under the battery looks mad!

If you look at this post I have added some links to there site - look at the installation instructions and you can see more pics!!

[James Bushell]

I have had that 3 times now mate, weather conditions were different lol - Had the bonnet up yeah, but the first run I ran 179 and we realised the guy had the fan facing the wrong way lol. But we ran the same day in the morning before I had the ecu re-done I got 176bhp - Am intreguied to see what I will get now that I have knocked the baffles out and got a 4" bore pipe manifold back - Probably lost back pressure, but hay, it sounds good!

 

[Fred@BTM]

try running it with the bonnet down!! watch your car loose 5bhp

 

[George16v]

Lol, Maybe matey - Alot I had a quickshift Carbon Airbox on before that one and I got 169bhp

 

[James Bushell]

Ive used one of these, which is mounted behind the lower grill and connected to the cold feed pipe... Not sure exactly how much it would improve it, but cant hurt as it has a larger air catchment.. need to be trimmed a bit and connected with a jubilee clip. the hose then feeds nicely around the side of the rad..

[nelson182]

James,

Have you got any pictures of it fitted to the car? Does the air come in through the lower grill? Space must be a little tight?

Any pics appreciaited

 

[George16v]

Great idea that dude!

I dont know why they got rid of the vents for the mk2 - On the mk1 the cold air pipes are attached to the vents in the front bumper - perfect really!

Remember how hard it was to fit the cold air pipe on my cup, scrapes all the way up my arm,

But that is a great idea matey - They do a clear one too I notice
