Clio Cup & Espace V6 box element

[Greeny.]

Hi,

I know most people use ITG filters in the Espace V6 air boxes but rather than me just jumping on the bandwagon, what did the Clio Cups use? For some reason I was under the impression they used either a standard filter or a Green filter or am I talking utter crap?

the cup racer used a long pipe at around 45degrees and a green cone filter. Think Ben used the same set up from memory

I thought they used the Espace V6 boxs at one point?

I was looking at 172bens setup, which is also known as the Cup setup with the ph1/v6 box?

They did use both setups at some point. When they used the V6 airbox they kept with a standard paper element and changed it reguarly IIRC

Ben's set up was using the 172 ph1 airbox direct from the TB. Relocated battery and flatterned down ECU.

Yeh, PH1 air box, connected directly to the throttle body -

Heres the current set-up I have, didnt realise that the Cup Racers used it. Just thought they used the Ph1/V6 airbox...

Still any ideas what filters they used in the V6 boxes? I know most people with ITG's but I thought they used green element in the boxes?

When I went Brands for the BTCC a while ago, I remember one of the Clio cup teams putting a Green Cotton air filter in the 197 cup car, doesn't really apply to the 172 cup cars but they may have used them.

Renault Clio CUP racers ; paper ones (oem) i've read. Because of budgets being tight

Btw; i changed my filthy ITG two days ago (V6 box) for a paper one and really can't feel the difference
