My K-Tec style induction set up
- Thread starter danward
- Start date
I'm making one up over the next week (parts ordered) going to dyno it back to back with the stock airbox and itg filter at the start of next month 
Lol nice
Need to have all the parts here so they can be fired on as soon as the car arrives.Hate waiting for stuff to arrive.
Should never have got rid of my first 182,wouldn't have this problem then.
Looks good Chris, hows it sounding with the ramair filter, incidently which one is it? I have came across a few ramairs ranging from £18-60 with ID neck of 70mm.
Since you guys are online at the moment, I had a quick look at the caf that connects the acoustic valve to the side of the standard box which is in the way for this set up of course.
Is it possible to disconnect it without taking the acoustic valve out? Had a quick attempt in the dark and it seemed a little obtuse, bit of an awkward angle to pull at and it I didn't want to just yank it out with so many wires in that area of the bay.
Or perhaps I need to man up either way..

However you do it they are tight, even the ktec ones are!

Hello guys,
Because of this thread, I saved money, and completed my intake.
To complement this threat, I thought I should add my set up.
However, I believe I overkilled the tighteners a little bit.
Other then that, the thing sounds fantastic, and is so much more reliable now.
Now it looks like it has a fat amazonian snake attached to the motor!

Love the pink one ;o
172 track thingy
I need to know this too as its asking on the order form from the link above :S
Looks so much better with two silicone 90' bends like tadas' and Ben's than an alloy bend.
Just order this with a 90 degree bend and 70mm diameter, its the exact right size needed...

Thanks, I've had two bends turn up from ASH/ap store and so far both have been wrong (wrong item sent), the link you posted looks like a 150mm leg length, only option available on the ASH website.
I am making one of these and its time to decide what filter to put on the end. Is there a general preference or is it much of a muchness Am thinking ITG Maxogen, Pipercross or Apexi.
Am thinking ITG Maxogen, Pipercross or Apexi.Mine isn't secured by anything, I tried using cable ties but this did not work. The Pipercross fits pretty tightly behind the headlight so although I imagine it does move around a fair bit, it isn't catching on anything or causing any damage. I have had it on like this for a fair few months and the Pipercross itself is still in great condition.

Taken from my project thread:
Great update today.
First things first, off comes the passenger side wheel along with the arch liner. The acoustic valve then came off, bolt in the end of the lil hose, and tie everything up.
Next I went about removing the airbox and the two air feeds, replacing them with an 90 degree alloy bend and a Pipercross filter I bought from Regals Motorsport. I wasn't 100% sure whether the Pipercross would fit behind the headlight but as you can see it went in there easily with a little room to move around and position. I think the setup looks great in the bay.
I've taken it for a quick drive and the sound is amazing!! Driving sensibly up to around 3.5k you cannot hear it at all but as soon as you open the taps it roars and puts a massive smile on my face. I'm really happy with this set up (some might say similar to the k-tec item) and it has cost me about £110 all in.
I'm very interested to see what you guys think?
dose any one have a link to the pipercross filter

I already had the k&n filter when I bought the car so I just bought the alloy bend on eBay for about 15 quid and here's the result.
Was scared maybe it wasn't gonna fit because everybody is using such small filters but it fits nicely and looks the part I think. Also makes a monstrous sound compared to the regular fitting of the filter! Was thinking maybe a bit too loud for my taste but ill give it some time..
