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

[McGherkin]

Got a figure?

181 lol. Back on planet earth it's more like 176. Mapped, decatted exhaust on what already was a strong engine.

Just bought the pipe and filter from page 1 to add some braaap to my car.

 

[imprezaworks]

Im sure you will like the noise. I have one and it's great

Drove my mates MX5 yesterday on track and with a cone filter and being open topped it made my standard airbox setup sound pathetically boring.

 

[Pedromac]

I think I've got the horn in the way, where do I move that too? Also anything else needed to be done To get more air into that area?

 

[Jekyll]

The horn is near the foglights. This filter set-up goes from the throttle body to in front of the battery.

 

[LeeRS]

Some positives then. I think I prefer the ktec one, I found it a bit more throaty. But at the price of these I could add my own noise if needs be. Was watching an old video of it on at Oulton a few months back, does sound good

Mine sounds exactly like this.
I wonder why

 

[Skeeter]

I'm assuming I can whip out the acoustic valve and all the standard airbox piping too when I fit this?

 

[LeeRS]

Double.

 

[LeeRS]

Triple.

What an awesome sounding machine

What's this in the way then?

 

[imprezaworks]

The alarm

 

[Jekyll]

Looks like a sigma car alarm kit.

 

[Pedromac]

OK cheers thanks for clearing that up. It'll be getting ripped out!

Hiya, this is what I created not too long ago, after being inspired by this thread. The ICV has it's own breather filter using a 18mm plastic coupler and breather filter. Unfortunately no dyno numbers to backup the performance, but it sounds and feels awesome :smile: The car "feels" more alive now and the induction noise has to be enjoyed everyday

Being really lazy and cheeky here as at work and shouldn't really be on here, Is everyone still using the the parts from the original links/post?

Or have people found different/better alternatives?

Cheers!

Am just waiting on the hose [emoji2]

 

[KitsonRis]

I got the original off set Ram Air filter.

Is there any benefits of having the filter by the battery? As I have just the 90deg bend (not all the parts turned up), but now I have the second 90deg bend and joiner.

If it is just the hot air / heat issue, I can always put a cold air pipe from the fog light ducts.

 

[texastornado]

Further the filter from the engine the cooler the air going in.
Best to use a 90' and get it behind the headlight:up:

I will fit this ASAP then seeing as it is sat ready in the garage. I just got impatient and fitted it on the weekend before the second joiner turned up!!

 

[texastornado]

Understandable they sound great! Can't promise much power gain by moving it but it's getting hotter air where u've got it so worth moving.

Better? :tongueclosed:

The only place it is rubbing is by the filter, but it is resting on the jubilee clip. But would rather have a piece of rubber there instead to add more protection. Also would like to shorten the jubilee clips as they could look a little gash.

I didn't do this for the power gains, but for the noise really. Let my inner chav out!! But any power gain is better than nothing!!

 

[Jekyll]

Just get any old rubber to stop the chafing. I think I used a old bit of hose and sliced it down the middle!

The old airbox rubber brace holder is not needed now as well Kit

Some old hose is kicking about somewhere in the spares box.
Ohh shhhhhh!! I got a little too excited fitting it so may have forgotten to remove it, plus there is a cable tie on it, but can always relocate that. Also how have you secured the hose in place to stop it vibrating?

 

[Jekyll]

@KitsonRis

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Yep that looks fine, always a neat trick. Fuel hose has multiple layers and is perfect to use.

 

[cjgraham92]

Hi all, this might be a dumb question. But I've installed a similar intake to the fattys and it sounds amazing once it gets going but in first gear (regardless of the rev level) it just sounds stock, then in second it starts to kick in at around 4000 then in third I can pretty much cruise at 3000 and it roars. Any suggestions?

 

[NCC-74656]

Why leave this bit on? (see pic). I have the same induction kit but i pulled that bottom air feed out as that is no longer directed at anything. Thats the one that entered the bottom of the Oe air box?

 

[dci172]

That's a water hose

 

[NCC-74656]

thanks dci sori for the confusion.. mine at least

 

[Schweppy]

So my 70mm hose and 70mm filter are matching each other up and theres no chance one is going inside the other to clamp up...

Am i being stupid or is the hose supposed to be a bit bigger than 70mm?

 

[Jekyll]

No, it's all 70mm.

 

[KitsonRis]

I used a joining pipe to connect the filter to the hose and then a second to join the two hoses together

Off topic but: You sold the Clio? (why were you anyway)

He's been on a long holiday, seems to be a lot happier from the photos. I'll see him next week if he's not on here before then :up:
