Got my torque back!

Car  Banana


Stupid induction kit was raping me of power, especially in the hot weather. Even a direct cold air feed didnt help. But thanks to Clart with the group filter buy, Im smiling again:D.

Heres an example of reverse modding.....

Good job sir, Youll beat me in the 1.2 now ;)
Maybe Johnny..... well see at the scottish road trip. Youll probably have the new suspension by then and wont be using the middle pedal much;).
 


coolio, I changed my paper filter for an itg replacement 2 weeks after having the car. Due to the running in period I never had a chance to properly notice a before and after.
 


Went for a wee run and noticed quite a difference compared with the IK. Probably due to the temperature this afternoon.

^ Who are you kidding lol, As long as you stay still for a few seconds so I can get a few pics with the new camera before you blast off. BTW what IK did you have on it in the first place?
 


It was a universal real carbon enclosed airbox with a K+N cone inside. Looked and sounded excellent. Would prob suit a 1.2/1.4 better. Yours for a tenner if you want it.
 


ehhh...surely a beta feed to that would work beta than a pannel filter...The Ik is enclosed, therefore void of hot air, a viper feed to the front bumper would hav srted that surely??! The renault feed is gash it goes NOwhere!
 


That setup didnt look bad, I just think that open IK on Clios are a waste of time unless they are mapped accordingly with an ECU/Chip, no IK will help with the low down torque that the OE airbox & butterfly solenoid has.
