Removing Induction kit on a 172

[Emz_197]

Right folks. We have bought ourselves a 172 but unfortunately it has an Induction Kit on it. How easy are they to remove?

 

[James.f]

Easy, what type of induction kit is it?

Are you replacing it with the original airbox or another induction kit,

 

[Craigus]

Undo the two clips, pull it off.

 

[Emz_197]

It's a samco sport and i want to replace it with an original airbox.

Any ideas how much a Renault air box is?

 

[Pedro]

You can get them on here all the time Em. Im sure theres someone willing to part way with theres.

 

[Emz_197]

Thanks Pedro but if its on car parts for sale i'm unable to view it due to being to stingy to renew my membership

 

[adam172]

tried ebay?

airbox/induction kits are easy to remove swap over ect.. you will have no probs!

 

[Emz_197]

OK so hopefully we will do it ourselves. What exactly will i need to buy to replace this induction kit? Any help is much appreciated.

 

[Emz_197]

Just took some photos so hopefully someone will come along and tell me exactly what i need to do.

Also, why is this pipe not connected to anything? When i put it back to standard will i connect to something?

thats the cold air feed pipe

Samco bend is worth £45 if you sold it on here. If you get a standard airbox and elbow its easy to swap.

What makes it different from a standard one?

 

[Emz_197]

The standard air box has turned up today Now i'm wanting to fit it.

One question... on the Samco pipe (which we are removing) what on earth is that little pipe thing sticking out of the top and where is it going? Does anyone know?

It's in the photo...

That should be the breather pipe, it will lead to a metal "nozzle" coming out of the block near the throttle body, i think the origonal airbox will fit onto this but im sure another member can confirm

 

[superbenji88]

It will fit onto it, but you might have to trim some of the samco hosing off to make it fit in.

 

[Ian_s]

You have 2 options:

1. Fit the standard airbox onto the samco hose (you may have to trim the samco a bit as mentioned above)

2. Fit the standard elbow (do you have one?), then you will need the pipe from the breather outlet on the back of the engine to the standard elbow

We're going for option 2. Yes i do have the standard elbow.

 

[magh]

Personally id opt for option 1, better air flow, unless you want a completly standard bay.

 

[Emz_197]

Yes i want a completely standard bay and also can make money by selling that samco pipe. Although...
What everyones thoughts on best panel filter for the 172? Standard Renault paper or aftermarket one?

 

[Mr R.]

I have the itg filter in my standard air box i think these are very good.

 

[Emz_197]

Fitted in the end with no problems whatsoever Very happy with the result and we feel the car runs smoother now
Thanks for all your help guys! If anyone is interested in the Samco pipe let me know.
