Induction kit help

[David Ramsey]

I have been offered a green induction kit which has come off a clio trophy but my car is a phase 1 clio 172, will it fit?

 

[W17GLE]

you'll be able to make it fit i'm sure they are pretty similar

dont see why not. its just an air filter. ive got a green cone on mine.

 

[David Ramsey]

Thanks lads, I'll get it bought, I wanted one anyway so I might as well do both of us a favour and get this one

 

[Danith]

not bein cheesy or nothing, but id buy a heatshield as well. mine definately benefitted from the heatshield as the cone drew in a lot of hot air. i also put another cold air feed on it from removing the spotlight. much better than just sticking the cone on, on its own.

 

[Andyman]

I wouldnt bother buying it

Most folk on here will tell you you'll lose power with a open IK plus most folk seem to favour a ITG filter with the standard air box

 

[Danith]

do it. it sounds ace. you will lose power on its own yes but just make sure it gets cold air to it and you wont lose any.

 

[David Ramsey]

It comes with a heatshield as well so it should be ok

I fitted this yesterday with no problems so I'm happy with it. I put the heatshield on and left the 2 old air feeds from the airbox pointing towards the filter. I would put a cold air feed from the fog light but I just got brand new fogs and tinted them yellow so they're not coming out lol.

i dont get why youd tint your foglights yellow???????????


or am i missing the point?


P.S. your not gordons son are you?

your still gonna loose power even with a heat shield unless you wrap the manifold etc with heat wrap mate the only thing you gain from an open one is more of a induction roar .....panel filter all the way :rasp:

 

[David Ramsey]

That's fine, I'm gonna fit the airbox back on with a panel filter if I ever do any track days or quarter miles, for now I'm just happy with the sound.

I tinted the fog lights cause I always liked the look of the old renault 5 an peugeot 205 fog lights when they were yellow.

I'll post up some pictures if I ever decide to get it out of the garage for a drive in this weather.
