Before & after K-tec Induction Kit graphs

Would this give a better gain than the phase 1 airbox turned 90 degrees a la Cup racers?

if you look at a cup racer setup, the box is actually sat where the fuse box is on a road car. Much longer induction length than people use on here with it right on the TB.

The key is in getting optimal length, and a decent quality filter that doesn't crush easily or get sucked in like some of the cheaper foam ones (or the expensive ITG ones for that matter, very flimsy)

instead of using the alloy bend just get another 90 silicone bend, looks alot better

Have you connected them together with just that jubilee clip, or is there something else inside connecting them?

There is a join between the hoses, you can see the pipes bulging just above and below the clip..this is the joint piece.

You can get metal joiners, or you can use gutter pipe (or similar hard plastic pipe) if you are proper pikey.

water onto the filter = cooler inlet temps = more power. Think water injection

Just don't drive through any floods

As long as Rhys doesnt drive through the ford near his house he will be fine!

yeah theres a metal joiner inside

However tempting it is Dan I will only go through that on my bike Air intake is near the petrol tank!

Wow did you get 4 bhp from an induction kit only if that's the case I may dump my viper

Was an induction kit and a swap in cat.

 

[Lal B3N]

Can get a typhoon for about £134, not sure whether to bother or not.

Does it have that proper induction roar that you can hear over everything? Hate that noise.

 

[Chip-mk1]

None of the ones on the standard inlet are particuarly noisey when just driving around normally.

 

[Rhys Beal]

As Chip says mine is not noisy under normal driving but foot down and above 5k it is very loud. I will try and do a video and put it up later

If you make your own one up, you could change it to the ktec style one if you don't like it. Whereas you are pretty limited with the typhoon.

And as above, you can only hear it properly at high revs. So you won't here it driving around town. Unless you're a chav

 

[dmallett]

I agree with the noise. Was fairly quiet, used to love mine over 6k, sounded awesome!

Rhys have you not got a dry by video of mine?

 

[Rhys Beal]

Only that one that Danny uploaded on youtube of us racing

 

[Joe R26]

Thanks for posting up the pics Rhys. I think I'm gonna give it a go

I take it you have to leave the arch liner out?

 

[MG cup]

That was the initial induction kit they were fitted with then went onto be fitted with v6 airbox to reduce induction noise for certain tracks Db limits.

Not advising against these long IK but be careful, I no of a few typhoon kits that have killed engines, hitting an unavoidable puddle while passing oncoming traffic on b-roads doesn't end well.

No leave the arch liner in. Taking it out would result in wet death

 

[Joe R26]

Fair enough. It looked like the filter would be too big to replace the section of arch liner you removed to fit it.

 

[Rhys Beal]

It does touch it I think but doesn't matter.

 

[Joe R26]

Nice, thanks again for sharing the details. Will order the bits up next week.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Your welcome. Just bare in mind that it is incredibly tight with everything it passes through and be wary of those puddles!

 

[Joe#]

I'm going to order an ITG Maxogen air filter for mine now. This one will be fine won't it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ITG-Maxog...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ec115db44

Way too big. You need the jc67/70 and buy one from camskill

Thanks. I've just had a search now, but I can't find jc67/70. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m35b51s34...TG_Maxogen_Air_Filters_and_Carbon_Airbox_Kits

 

[Rhys Beal]

Sorry mate I meant jc 60

[Joe#]

I thought I was going mental lol. Thanks, I'll get one ordered now.

 

[Budgie]

I wouldn't be worrying too much about that.

306 GTi-6 airbox is in exactly the same place. Obviously it's not an open filter though.

 

[Joe R26]

Rhys did you stick a mini filter on the oil breather pipe? If so do you know what size filter you need?.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Ah...that reminds me of a job I still haven't done! No idea what size it is. Maybe 16mm internal?!

 

[Joe#]

16mm.

 

[Joe R26]

thanks matey

 

[dave_rudabar]

Exactly - the airbox seals up the intake at that point, so water isn't sucked in.
There were a couple of '6s that killed engines by having a K&N 57i mounted low and ingesting water...

 

[Cup M@]

Where's the best place to get silicone bends from and ally joiners?

 

[dmallett]

ASH silicone hoses on eBay, decent price and quality.

 

[Laine_16v]

http://www.autosiliconehoses.com/

 

[LewisTaylor]

They are cheaper on there ebay shop than from the there direct website shop...

 

[Laine_16v]

There is a discount code you can use for their shop but i can't remember, its something like ASHOSES10, which will probably bring it back down to eBay prices (or possibly less).

 

[Cup M@]

Thanks is there a link to there eBay shop?
