106 1.5 diesel
Evening everyone! This is just a quick guide on what you need to do if you want an induction kit for your Clio sport, with a proven 3.5hp gain, as it utilizes the coldest part of the engine.
You will need the following;
PLEASE IGNORE THE SMALL PIPE IN THE PHOTOS, THIS WAS NOT REQUIRED.
You will need the following tools (Sorry if I've forgotten anything);
Someone else has done this before, and they have power graphs proving the extra 3.5 hp, my car however feels much more fun to drive, so even if it has less power, the driving experience has been improved ten-fold! You get a very nice engine note change at 5k-5.5k and the noise on full-chat is INSANE! Sounds like it's on throttle bodies lol

Cheers for looking!
You will need the following;
- Silicone Polyester Reinforced Hose - 70mm 90 Degree Elbow - Any colour you wish.
- 90 Degree Alloy or Steel Elbow -70mm
- Twin Cone Air Filter (Universal one from A.S.H is fine, or choose your own as long as it's 70mm)
- Small breather hose to fit the rubber pipe that goes to the crankcase or whatever down the back of the engine... I used a 25mm one, but it is a bit too big, I'd use a 21mm, but the next size down from A.S.H is 18mm which will be too small... The 24mm does fit, just be aware it might need wrapping in electrical tape to make the pipe bigger.
- Qty 2 worm drive stainless steel hose clips (Or sexy ones if you wish) - 60-80mm
- A few cable ties
PLEASE IGNORE THE SMALL PIPE IN THE PHOTOS, THIS WAS NOT REQUIRED.
You will need the following tools (Sorry if I've forgotten anything);
- Flat blade screwdriver
- Torx bit set (can't remember exactly which one)
- Spanner set (8mm for battery terminal, 10mm for ECU Brace)
- Socket set and ratchet with extension (13mm for battery hold down)
- Stanley knife
- Wire snips
- First you need to undo the brace bar that bolts from the ECU housing to the crash bar, I just removed the crash bar side bolt and bent it up out the way... I can't condone that though
- Remove the battery negative terminal
- Remove the old airbox from the car and the intake pipe from the throttle body, leaving the standard cold air feed
- Undo the battery hold down bracket and remove it, being careful not to drop it into the depths of the engine bay... Like I did.
- Pick the battery up and slide it as far back as you can, just to give you enough space to get the filter in (It's a squeeze)
- Chop the cold air feed down so it's short enough to allow room for the filter, but not too short so it's too far away from the filter
- Place your air filter in position, then place the alloy 90 degree elbow into it
- The silicon 90 degree will be too long, so you need to trim the side that you'll slide over the throttle body
- Trim it to size, using a jubilee clip to make sure you get a straight cut
- Slide it all in place,and secure it all with your jubilee clips
- Take your breather pipe and chop it at a decent length (long enough so you can cable tie it away from the exhaust manifold) and fit your breather filter on the end
- Cable tie everything so it doesn't move
- Re-fit all your standard bits and go for a blast!.. Enjoy!
