Is there a guide how to fit a pipercross induction kit?

[Don Shaleone]

As above really lol

 

[jack_kemp]

Throw it in the bin.

 

[Don Shaleone]

Why do u say that lol

 

[mx1_champ]

heat soak, and will more likely than not lose power over standard

 

[Don Shaleone]

Surely it can't get heat soak being enclosed?

 

[Icarus]

Sell it on e-bay and run the standard airbox or a Phase 1 airbox if you want something with technicaly lower losses. If you just want noise drill some 10mm holes in the pre filter side of the standard airbox.

 

[Don Shaleone]

Are they really that bad? How can it
Loose power when it's enclosed it would be shielded like the normal airbox? :s

 

[jack_kemp]

Virtually every induction kit loses power power on that engine.

do your best and get a proper air feed to the filter. silicone elbow might be helpful. keep the filter clean and avoid excessive oiling. As I said with a proper air feed and a remap you might gain something.

 

[Don Shaleone]

I've got a silicon elbow was gonna have the cold air feed sitting in the lower grill I'm gonna put it on and see what it's like it can't be that bad if pipercross are still selling them for the price they do

Ahhh because they sell them for £250 must mean they are good.

Had mine for about 10 minutes, and got rid.

Was shiiiiiite

[Don Shaleone]

How much u recon I can sell it for

 

[mx1_champ]

i wouldnt say a great deal on here as not many will bother fitting them. if its all new take it back or try ebay

 

[jack_kemp]

EBay is the way to go mate.
Get shot of it and buy a phase1 airbox

 

[Don Shaleone]

I bought it for £100 of their will I see that money again?

 

[jack_kemp]

If you bought it for that much, there's no reason why someone else won't do the same.

 

[Don Shaleone]

I don't no if it would be worth the hastle of selling it buying a ph1 airbox etc, I might use the power analyser on the rstuner to see how it affects performance.....

 

[mike1pow]

I had a Ph1 airbox and filter with samco bend, I got rid of the box and replaced it with a K&N cone.

Its not all about power for me, the K&N sounds miles better than the Ph1 setup and continues to put a smile on my face.

It all depends on wha the owner wants, if its more noise then chuck a cone on but if it is power your after then inlets and a panel if the cheap way forward

[RSTuning]

Unless you get a decent feed to it and keep the pipe straight entering the filter (impossible pretty much) then you will lose power usually!

 

[mike1pow]

How about this?

^^This,

Bought mine when the Viper first came out before all the dyno testing at JMS. It makes a great noise and TBH id rather put the money towards the JMS Rs2 than f**k about buying another filter.
