2005 Clio 1.2 16v Induction

[f0xy]

Hey,

Not bothered about performance at all to be honest just want a nicer sound as the car sounds like a washing machine at the moment! What sort of kit would be best for my 1.2 16v, what sort of sound would i get? If i got one would i need any sort of adaptor plate?

Thanks if anyone can help..

The 2005 engine is different you dont need an adaptor plate as per the old and crap >2004 engine.
you need the following products

90deg bend at £19.34
http://www.merlinmotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=1615_1618&products_id=170
itg filter £50.53
and a breather filter (£5) from motorworld

so you have a decent system there for £75

DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


somthing a bit like that LOL

na seriously it will have a nice roar to it, well worth it just avoid the k-tec relocated kits i praised mine untill i drove a car with the airbox on again and realised how much low down torque i had lost. sounds good though

 

[f0xy]

so basically ill still get a nice sound out of it with a standard stock exhaust yeh? Also, ive been reading and whats the deal with cold air feeds, will i need one?

 

[f0xy]

EDIT: are ITG the loudest? or K&N... or what?

 

[f0xy]

for some reason it wont let me edit previous posts ive made? oh well...

in the post above i was meant to say...


are ITG, K&N or other brand the loudest through the full range of revs? rather than just high up? Im looking for noise right through like a nice deep sound sort of, even at low revs when pulling away, its hard to explain

if your only interested in sound, try this - take the cold air feed off the airbox. it shouldnt be too difficult, just pull it off and set it to the side. even with st air box, it'l sound like a beast let me know what you think, cost you nothing too!

 

[f0xy]

il go and try it now and post back...

edit: maybe not, pouring down! il try in the morning...


how come this makes a difference? what does it change like?

 

[Matty Baby]

this is b****cks even takin off whole air box and everything still sounds the same!!! i put an induction kit on mine made no difference at all!!!! was a universal piece of s**t but still!!!! only way to get good sound from 1.2 is exhaust.

 

[f0xy]

hmm i know someone with a 2005 1.2 8v with a k&n IK and stand. exhaust, its loud as anything, what IK did you have on yours?

 

[f0xy]

bump?

Foxy - if you just want noise then fit a Pipercross Induction Kit

I had one on my Polo with a standard exhaust and it was still very loud

This is what you need - http://2modified.com/clio-sport-2000-pipercross-p-2138.html

trust me, try what i said. mines a 1.4, makes a beast of a sound. to be honest shouldnt mattter of the size of engine. just take the cold air feed off the box. and induction kit is basically an air filter thats out in the open, so if you remove the cold air feed, your allowing the airbox to become an induction kit (soundwise) try it, if it doesnt work for you, then let me know!and then may as well go for a proper induction kit. but this will save you wasting your money!

^^^ will this allow a lot of hot air in or will it just be as good?

 

[JclioD]

doesnt really make too much difference!!at least i dont remember it making a difference anyway!
