Show me your induction kits...!

[Brabus]

I've got one of these

now containing one of these

with ducting

ending up here

I'm at Surrey Rolling Road next saturday to see what it's achieved (if anything)...I'm hoping for a bit of a ram-air effect from the 120mm ducting behind the grill.

I'm going to see if between runs they'll let me disconnect the airfeed and rotate the airbox around so it draws air from behind the NS headlight instead, just like the Maxogens do above.

I've run at Surrey twice before (13 months and 24,000 miles apart) and the two seperate runs/graphs were overlaid and there was no difference at all...so we know that the RR there is consistant.

Watch this space.

Is that a Ph1 airbox? Im after an induction kit myself, it it performance french cars that has the review this month?

Cheers Chris

Could you not turn the airbox the other way and have the CAF down the wheel arch in the normal way?

 

[Fletcher]

My maxogen :approve:

I'm going to try that at Surrey this saturday - back to back runs with it connected both ways.

On a slightly different note, was it you I spotted in matlock bath on friday? Twas a flamer with black 172 alloys

 

[Hutchie]

on my 1.2, i know its not a sport but, i have ducting like above onto throttle body and then have pipercross filter mounted behind the grile pretty similar to this below

you can just see the filter in this pic below

it sounds the nuts and has no choice but to suck cold air in really

in stead of taking cold air to filter take the filter to the cold air

cold source induction kit

[darec23]

i know u guys love itg but imo viper was well spend money. Now just trying to sort exhaust out, cos it fell off

 

[fuzzi]

looks good ^^

 

[172Ben]

Looks nice, but could you get anymore bends in it

 

[osbid172]

CAF from here

To here

Viper here

 

[whatisjustis]

Is that some sort of heat sheild you've made there mate?

 

[gtruk]

Dont see the battery causing much heat so its a tad odd.

Dont know why you all buy these induction kits. Its all about the cloth:

 

[J03]

:lolup: :lolup: :lolup: hahaha u idiot!! i was going to post that! lmao..

its all about the cloth.. when it gets jammed inside your inlets..

 

[gtruk]

sorry bro couldnt resist

 

[J03]

lol ah well.. its a laugh ha

 

[whatisjustis]

That cloth is brilliant! Nice one

Question: on the cold feed bend from the induction kit to the engine, there is a smaller tube coming from its elbow. What is this, where does it go, and how would one go about removing the existing one to be replaced by a Samco one?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Sounds like the oil breather me thinks.

 

[osbid172]

Yeh,
Shielded by battery to create an area which is supplied with cool air - from CAf & side of grill directs it there too.

Just read the "cloth" thread - gesus that was funny

I'm thinking of scrapping the Viper & jamming a Brillo pad between my samco hoses!!

 

[Eckascliovalver]

the bmc cda is value for money mate, maxogen is far to overpriced for what it is

cda looks better to imo

 

[whatisjustis]

Just to let you all know, I'm expecting a Simota on my doorstep Saturday morning!

Have you used hammerite on your manifold and plenum?

 

[jack_davey]

I've got a K&N panel filter with ducting to the airbox from the NS wheelarch, works very well I'd say! Cheap and effective, you are never going to see massive gains from induction kits anyway!

Hello I have a clio 172 MK1 and bought a bmc cda, seen in several pictures that some of you not have the tube to breathe leaving to will cda, my question is where league after this tube?The tube which I refer is what comes out of the box of butterflies curved tube which connects the fine (this tube that some have linked the other not).Excuse my English is that I'm Portuguese and I use the translator to esvrever.





Exemple,with tube:







Exemple,without the tube:

[Dickie_172_cup]

this is mine,just a universal cone filter with heatshiled,and hooked up some rubber ducting to the front,sounds mint.

 

[matt|H]

1.2 induction kit.

Old air box;

New kit;

 

[Jon.G]

^^ What make is that?? seems awkward fitting, My k&n on stops much shorter than that. You got a CAF to it as well?

It's made of different bits. Took it into a tuning garage near my bro's work and the guy put it together from bits and bobs, cutting them to size.

CAF - not yet, but planned as well as a heat shield (even though there's a huge space around the engine ).

Awkward fitting yes, but the guy decided it was going there and spent ages cutting things up to get it where he wanted it to go.

where can these be bought and how much?? what other mods does the car have in the clip of the arctic 182?

 

[Mish]

Matt H.... if anything that seems like it's going to be more restrictive. The angle of the black hose in particular is shocking...! (looks good though!)

 

[Tigger]

Here's mine

Indeed, I have the same sorta thing but directly into my airbox from my foglight, sounds like this:

Also it lost me around 4mpg

 

[Lewis_S]

i love that sound !

 

[Paul.]

Bump.

christmas time so im gathering some stuff for the car. coilys , wheels and i want an IK. Im really unsure about what 1 to go for. The Carbon Simota IMO sounds the best but im worried it will lose me some bhp. I know that NO IK will give me any gains but im wanting the best SOUNDING kit that DOESNT effect power. I need help



So videos please. I know what they all look like but im interested to hear the maxogen inside and out and the same for the others out there.

 

[172Ben]

No the best video

[whatisjustis]

Get it done, son!

 

[Paul.]

whats the first one on the silver 172???


the simota sounds awesome. what other mods has the flamer got under the bonnet?

 

[whatisjustis]

No other engine mods. Just the Simota and a cold air feed running directly to the cone.
