Custom made Induction Kits

kingJimBob · May 11, 2004

Ive been looking around and to be honest, closed induction kits, or kits with direct cold air feed, dont look that hard to make, i mean custom jobbie with the right parts and build it yourself.

do induction kits cost so much becuase of the brand that make them, or is it coz ppl tink custom jobbies are just pikey?

Any body body a custom induction kit? and for what car/model?

ive spotted one in "other for sale" looks pretty professional

induction kits cost as much as they do, not due to material cost, but from the cost of research

trouble wiuth the 1.4 rt is that the TB is in a really awkward place.

Good luck, would love to see some pics when done mate!

BenR · May 11, 2004

If you use he correct diameter steel tube and rabficate an elbow to go over the TB, located the filter somewhere up front like behind the bumper of in the wheel arch etc etc etc.

Boy in my street makes pipes for a living, when I had my Clio RT I measured the Bosch TB, then sat and drew a design for the re-location pipe to bring it down to where the cold feedpipe for the OE box is near the slam panel.... he had half done it and it was nice shiny alu but car got f**ked so he didnt finish it off as I got a GTS-X. Shame cause I could have sold it!

I was thinking about this to. A good panel filter (ITG maybe) then a modified airbox with the ducting for the increased, colder air ??

If someone could do these on an exchange basis Im sure they could make some money from it for their time!

Any ideas ??

kingJimBob · May 12, 2004

No need to drill holes.

Just get some 73mm ducting from the existing inlet to the front duct with the blanking on.

Oh, and you got an RT...plenty more space to do the same.

Yugguy · May 13, 2004
