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

[Normski666]

Fitted mine today and well pleased. Ash made me up a silicon pipe with alloy swaged inserts with 70mm external diameters for each end. It made fitting dead easy as both ends (engine and filter end) can be adjusted for length. This was about 16 quid. I also went with the smaller offset Ram Air filter at 24.99. Took about 20minutes to fit in all. Took about 5 minutes for the ECU to sort itself out but then ran great. Not as loud as I was expecting but once over about 4K revs sounds superb with the Milltek system.

I know the sound on minw

Updates on @The Fatty Anyone? Hope he is a lot better now.

I should make one of these just to see what all the fuss is about, although I do love the noise of my V6 airbox.

The noise is the best. £ for £ the best mod you can do to a Clio IMO. It just makes you want to drive like a c**t everywhere! Lol

I pmd him a bit ago, didn't get a reply

I bought an alloy pipe with swaged ends but doesn't seem to fit the air filter properly. Did anyone experience the same problem?

 

[Normski666]

external pipe diameter of 70mm with swaged ends is the correct fit chap. You may need to smear the filter neck with a dab of vaseline first if its dead tight though but it'll go in - assuming you've got the correct filter size. The jubilee then tightens up behind the swage.

It took quite a lot of effort to get my filter on, just persevere and you'll get there

I've been trying to push it in so hard that the cage is starting to warp. After I tried some vaseline it seems to want to pop back out. Clearly I'm not doing something right. I'm expecting the swaged end to push past the the rib section in the filter.

It can be tricky. Make sure you fix the cage inside of the filter.
What you might find easier is to take your battery out, push the elbow into the filter outside of the car making sure not to grip the foam part of filter. Then assemble the induction kit and refit the battery after. The battery takes a few minutes to remove with a 13mm socket on an extension bar. to get the battery retention bolt back in just use one hand from the side and one above and you should be ok.

@mayur_my. Optical is correct, it can be tight and maybe worth assembling prior to fitting. Ignore the silicon pipe in the pic but the swaged ends of yours are like this?

Here Ive attached some pictures of the pipe and filter. Its feels like the pipe doesn't go in far enough. I've been trying to connect the pipe and filter outside the car so there no issue of not having enough room to push it in. I think the only thing for me to do is tighten the jubilee clip and see whether the filter can be easily pulled off. From what I read I understand I should try and loop a zip tie through the jubilee clip before I completely tighten it. If I get it fitted tomorrow I'm off to rag the car for the afternoon and enjoy the sound everyone is raving about. Thanks for all the advice I'll report back if I continue to have problems. This forum has helped me sort so many things for my car so a big thank you to those people that make an active contribution.

Can someone make video how it sounds? Thinking of getting this mod as well... Is it ramair cc-115 what I should look for?

 

[MrBlonde]

Anyone made a heat shield for this set up?,was thinking of trying to make one or maybe go back oe set up with uprated panel filter and a bigger cold air feed pipe.

 

[LeeRS]

@gambit made an air box for it.

 

[MrBlonde]

Any photos mate of the made up box mate? @LeeRS

That's just the filter mate u still need pipe. On page one that filter link works. But aluminium bend doesn't work

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure of interest but mine will be for sale at the end of the week

Edit just realised it will just be the metal bend and filter for sale

 

[Ills]

Fitted mine today, decided to paint the pipe satin black and used a piper cross filter.
Sounds good!

 

[+Doc+]

Fitted mine last week, love the roar at the top end.

 

[Jekyll]

I have a ally bend and ram air filter on mine that I will be removing soon as I've ordered 90° someone bends and have a pipercross filter, the same as @Ills

Has anybody had the pipercross c0171 filter and a ITG one for comparison?

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Can you fit this with a 075 battery?

 

[Ills]

Can you fit this with a 075 battery?

Mine wouldn't fit, had to get an 063. Only £38 ish from Halfords with a trade card though.

 

[McGherkin]

Can you fit this with a 075 battery?

I had a massive battery, no idea if it was an 075 but I managed to make mine fit. One moment please...

Edit: 075. In a Ph1 though

 

[imprezaworks]

Has anyone used a normal alloy bend, not the one in the op. I've spoken to ramair today and they are sending me a slightly bigger filter and I've ordered a normal alloy bend from Demontweeks, both parts coning Tomo all being well.

 

[Jekyll]

What do you mean by normal ally bend?

 

[imprezaworks]

Like this

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Green-150mm...e-Bend-50mm-Diameter-Alloy-Tube-/201489714739

As apposed to this. Can see there being any difference

[MrBlonde]

Cant see it being any different what so ever mate as its the same really,only thing i notice is that with the alloy bend it sounds more raspy than to having two silicone bends.

 

[imprezaworks]

I needed to trim the hose off the throttle body to accomodate the phase 1 Airbox, hoping I didn't trim it too much lol.

Worked perfectly! They're not exactly boost pipes.
