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

[KitsonRis]

How have i not seen this before??! I want to get something to add more BBRRAAAAPPPP until I can afford throttle bodies and cams.

This maybe a stupid question...but.....will it work with sillicone hoses instead of the ally one? Or is there a reason to go for the ally? As I am not a fan of the polished look (remonds me of Ford RS owners who spend all day at the car show polishing their engine bay).

 

[deadmau5]

If anyone is after this setup then PM me as I'm selling my car so it's no longer required. It's done about 1000 miles so is practically brand new. £30 delivered ONO.

No reason why it shouldn't.

 

[Dirtmatt]

I done a similar idea on my car. Got hold of a cotton green to replace the cheap air filter that was bodged to the samco hose. I used some remaining cold air feed as I had some spare and a pair of joiners. Ali pipe would be better but this should work all the same.

 

[JoeMarano]

Im not getting how people aren't losing power after that fastcar test suggested properly made enclosed induction kits brought the power down...

 

[joeseph]

The gap between my battery and ecu bracket is only 60mm so could fit the pipe through. Anybody know wether the battery will slide back at all? Did getting a new battery just to fit this kit.

Is there a rubber type bung underneath the ph2 airbox? Just took my airbox out and removed CAF in readiness for my filter and bend to come, put back on and when I drove car out of garage there was a rubber bung on the floor

 

[JoeMarano]

My Twingo had a rubber bung that when removed made the induction noise louder.

Rolling road proves my results and a friend got 177.8 with a filter behind his headlight too

Yes I did sorry.

Whats peoples thoughts about this setup V the V6 airbox ?

 

[imprezaworks]

I got rid of mine and bought a k&n panel filter. Bar noise i cant really tell any difference. Saying that, ive re bought the kit but this time with a slightly larger filter as i do miss the noise but felt the filter was a little small. I spoke with Ram Air (chap was really helpful). He knew this thread happened and i asked with regards a bigger filter, of which ive ordered. Hopefully be here/fitted Thursday.

Let us know how you get on with the larger filter mate

 

[imprezaworks]

Will do. It may be a tighter fit but it will fit, lol

 

[N4TH4N]

I loved the sound but i just couldnt help feel i was loosing power. I am actually medically diagnosed with ocd!

 

[imprezaworks]

No difference bar noise imo. Well worth the pennies though

 

[Gus]

When you spoke to Ram air did you ask if they come pre oiled as Im a little suspect about the original one from this thread, mine feels dry as a bone.

 

[imprezaworks]

I didn't mate no

You still got yours installed optical

 

[imprezaworks]

They don't come pre oiled and don't need to be. Although no harm in doing so.

That was basically ram airs reply to my question

 

[zxr400]

got mine mapped at AMD today with the filter and scorpion exhaust ,,186hp 160 ft lbs so pleased with that ,the car is better mid range too

 

[imprezaworks]

186? Really. And there the only mods. That's one healthy engine

 

[zxr400]

Well did expect more,but the mapping guy said it was good ,it's only done 47k but dose like to use a bit of oil

 

[imprezaworks]

More? I'd be more than happy with that tbh.

 

[JoeMarano]

Im guessing thats a 182 I love how they call the scorpion the 192 when really its the scorpion 182.2 lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Being a 182 won't matter

 

[zxr400]

Yes was hoping for 192 hp as it is a 192 exhaust.the mapping guy said it would go up a bit after a couple of cold starts.ho well its a 186 now lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure if your serious mate?

 

[Chris197F1]

lets not forget it was mapped at AMD too, they like to hand out large bhp figures like theres no tomorrow

 

[zxr400]

Yes I was hopeing for 192 as it says on there website .

 

[zxr400]

I did ask that as I have been conned on that before .I was in the bay with the car and he said that was right and it was makeing that power so I have no reason to to think otherwise

 

[McGherkin]

Lol!

'Are you biased?'
'No'
Okay then.

Oh, and you'll never crack 190 with just an exhaust, a filter and a remap.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yes I was hopeing for 192 as it says on there website .

Never going to happen lol

 

[chrishesketh]

At EFI a 182 with a scorpion exhaust ran 169bhp! Another fully standard 182 ran 165bhp! Their road is know for accurate results! Mine ran 177.9! Can't see a map making another 8bhp IMO

 

[imprezaworks]

Anyway this will go off topic.

My larger filter turned up yesterday so hoping the alloy bend will turn up today so i can fit it tomo as im off. The filter does look bigger but not too big which i was slightly concerned about with regards space.

Haha sorry! I was looking into bigger filters do you think there will be any difference? If so I might relocate my batter and go for the 200x200 pipercross one
