The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

[The Fatty]

just to expand on the tests a bit, I did a rough test to see what sort of restriction my IK was giving and found the average restriction to be 0.58psi (0 is equal to open air). That is based on these calculations (both at WOT)...

Date / Time / Altitude (m) / Atmospheric Pressure / Intake Pressure / RPM / Restriction (psi)

15-11-14 / 17:17:01 / 149 / 14.50psi / 13.92 psi / 1771 / 0.58
15-11-14 / 17:37:32 / 147 / 14.50psi / 13.92 psi / 5909 / 0.58

Now I just need someone with a standard airbox so I can log both at the same time...

 

[N4TH4N]

I see.. fair does! What else are you driving in between!

 

[JoeMarano]

I should be a tester. I swear im the only person I know that can feel when a tire is a single psi out lol

Fiat stilo 1.9 turbo diesel, fast!

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Ocd.
Ocd who.

I have watched the matrix, a lot. Still no clearer, lol

You got it mapped up at all? I miss my zr diesel omg once remapped etc it shifted

 

[imprezaworks]

It's for economy only, zero fun. Thirty quid-250 miles

 

[N4TH4N]

Bloody hell fair play lol

 

[imprezaworks]

That's down to the bare bones of red lol. Quite a bit better than my 15mpg impreza lol

 

[N4TH4N]

How on earth did you go from a scoob to a stilo lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Cost/enjoyment. Other priorities mate.

 

[N4TH4N]

Ohh i hear ya. Could never imagine 15mpg jesus lol

 

[The Fatty]

I have watched the matrix, a lot. Still no clearer, lol

basically means my setup is not very restrictive Would like to compare to a standard airbox though for reference.

 

[imprezaworks]

So took the long way to work . Performance seems fine, cant say ive noticed any negatives tbh. Although its not as loud as i first thought, probably due to the fact my car has no interior etc so you can hear everything.

 

[chrishesketh]

quick clip from today! I drove for a good 4 to 5 hours and found no issues in what may previously been commented on heat soak! even had a good go with a megane 225 on the way home and the clio managed to keep up! for me, the filter is all good and I'm sure I'm up on power and definitely more responsive! thanks fatty on the original post [emoji106]

 

[imprezaworks]

I was in two minds to remove mine and go back to the origiinal set up. Drove home and changed my mind lol

 

[McGherkin]

 

[imprezaworks]

What's the bracket on the right in the first pic?

 

[McGherkin]

Standard Ph1 air intake hose mount, for the 1.2 at least. It may have to go.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah yeah, phone was slow uploading the pic

 

[chrishesketh]

excuse the quality they get crushed when uploading!

 

[JoeMarano]

Thats a pretty cool place to mount a camera...was it a gopro?

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Was going to order one of these setups but this came up on sale section and tempted me.....

Bought it and the battery cover. [emoji106]

The induction hose is still for sale if anyone's interested.
The bmc cost the sane as this setup so it's worth a try. If I don't like it I'll sell and try this one out. [emoji14]

 

[chrishesketh]

yeah go pro with a suction pad onto the passenger window

 

[imprezaworks]

Didn't think those bmcs had the best of reviews?

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Didn't think those bmcs had the best of reviews?

Erm... May well be back on for sale section soon then [emoji14]

I did pretty much the same set-up back in March - I can confirm it sounds mental :smiley:

looks like you used the larger 'kit' filter like mine?

 

[The Fatty]

I read this wrong the first time and thought you meant the drive home wanted you to change back to oe!

 

[The Fatty]

I have been hopping back and forth between these to pics and cant decide if the ph1 bracket is bigger or not (or if you just have a bigger battery?)...

I think its the latter as ECU bracket is the same, yet your batter comes further along it? @McGherkin

 

[The Fatty]

Actually yes I can see its a much bigger battery when comparing these pics...

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah battery is the issue.

 

[McGherkin]

As I suspected. I've compared with @deadmau5 's setup and he's definitely got the room.
Just need to swap out the battery

 

[deadmau5]

I did 500 miles with mine this weekend and I love it. Certainly hasn't harmed performance at all but the noise is so so so much better. Sounds pure Scooby when you floor it through 2500 to about 3500.

I did a side by side performance comparison with an FN2 CTR on a private road and I was noticeably quicker and those things are supposed to be a true 197bhp. I have no other performance mods.

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-ktr-style-induction-kit-for-£20.738087/

I did something similar back in January 2013, i thought everyone did/knew about this mod.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Actually yes I can see its a much bigger battery when comparing these pics...

Can't you just loosen the battery clamp and slide the battery towards the ecu? As I'm pretty sure there is no set position for the battery?!

 

[deadmau5]

I think the issue is that it's about 50% longer than a normal battery. He'd have to reposition it in the boot to fit it in.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I wouldn't mind betting that battery can be slid up enough to fit that filter in there... :wink:

 

[Le Baguette]

Now after waiting two weeks I finally received the pipe and had to fit everything right away.

I went for a drive with a friend and after getting the engine up to temp and giving it a bit of throttle I thought it sounded quite nice until I gave it some more and was sure the filter had popped off!

Pulling up to redline in 3rd and 4th is almost unbearable.

I'm pretty sure I'll go back to the stock airbox with an aftermarket drop-in filter instead. We'll see tomorrow if the drive to and from work will be too embarrassing.

Note, I'm 23 and have messed about with cone filters on a few cars but none have been this loud with an annoying almost resonance-like noise close to redline.
