Air filter

[Joeyclio]

Bought a coned sport air filter from ebay, just wondering if it will make any difference to performance? don't know much about this stuff, cheers!

well all the adverts for air filters say you can get up to 10bhp more, but tbh you wont feel any performance difference on a 1.2 (if thats what you got), just out of interest what filter did you get?

If you were looking for performance gains you'd have to aim £150+ in my opinion, a cone wont do much apart from make noise. The best thing for performance would be a panel filter.

You are being a grade A c**t today mate.

New user, asks a question, semi noob who thinks he's bad with 200 posts rips into him, user leaves.

In my experience mate you won't see much in the way of performance, but the noise gains are worth it.

IDD!

The standard airbox with a panel filter + uprated airfeeds is more than good enough for a standard engine, JMS have an induction setup which has given good results which I run a very simular setup to which also does the job nicely

yeah agree with rob, most induction kits on the market promise gains but only real gains are noise.

My apologies. Just in a foul mood. Maybe I shouldnt take it out on n00bs

Sadly, you will probably lose a couple bhp with it, Renaults just dont seem to make any decent gains on induction, best system is a closed induction box with a filter inside.

i currently run a K&N induction kit on my 1.2 16v, to be honest you can't expect any performance out of a £70 filter, its purely for noise and nothing else to be honest. Bye fuel though.
