DIY induction kits

[Jekyll]

I've seen a few people mention/have a go doing there own DIY "K-tec style" induction setup.

What is the preferred choice of filter? I've had various filter setups on my 182 (Jms, standard, updated panel filter, pipercross viper and a ripspeed one I had lying around) but found my preferred choice is my current standard with itg panel filter, but that could be due to heat from the engine?

I already have and silicone 90-degree bend and small breather filter so all I would need is another 90-degree bend, a join pipe for the two and a filter but what do people do to hold up the filter or is it left hanging loose next to the battery?

The K-tec looks a great bit of kit but is very pricey so I'm thinking if having a go at doing my own at a cheaper cost.

As long as the filter is of reasonable construction and isn't going to break up or be sucked in then anything seems to fit the bill. You don't need to support the filter in anyway as the silicone bends don't flex much so do a fine job of holding a filter.

different car i know mate but i've done a couple of custom filter setups on my 197 using a smaller battery to create some extra space and an ITG maxogen,tested them both on the rollers at RS Tuning,a few pics

this setup ran more mid range torque so i stuck with it as thats where the car neededs it

maxogen setup by scott1532, on Flickr

this setup ran a few more bhp on peak power and sounded mental,might go back to it one day

open cone setup by scott1532, on Flickr

and i also ran a CAF from the lower front grill

hope this helps,i think there are plenty of ways of making a good filter setup cheaply

Did you ever test the intake pipe meeting the itg rather than it being merely directional?

Don't think you'll get a response to that, he hasn't been on in 8 years.

Yeah I thought it was a long shot! Just debating whether to link the intake hose to the intake or leave a gap and just have it directional.
