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

[imprezaworks]

I have no interior too

 

[The Fatty]

the noise puts a smile on my face

The filter came next day delivery qbut no pipe as of yet!

Does the pipe going into the side of the airbox just pull out?

I'll fit mine soon as it comes (if the cars not in the garage )

not sure I would be putting anything on your car until you get the engine sorted out / confirmed ok.

I know mate. Going in tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed

 

[dann2707]

Got mine today thank the lordymclord!

Fitted it in 10 mins and i'm very happy. Going to fabricate some kind of bracket soon though as i'm not sold on cable ties.

Made a quick video too to show the difference. I haven't gone for a drive yet though as i'm incredibly plied with wine xx

 

[imprezaworks]

Hard to tell in the vids tbh

 

[dann2707]

I agree mate. My phone isn't the greatest for sound qual.

 

[imprezaworks]

Weather permitting I will take the Clio to work tomo and get this fitted. Got a few bits to do.

You can clearly hear the 'throatier' sound with Fatty's IK fitted just as the revs increase.
Just the typical cone filter noise really.

Hopefully my kit will arrive in the beginning of next week.

Good job posting that vid, @dann2707, gives you a decent impression of how it's like.

Its also quite a bit louder as well, notice in the video his mic doesn't distort with the oe intake, but it does quite badly with the ramair setup.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I can tell the difference, I'm not deaf. But the quality isn't great, which we have established.

 

[McGherkin]

That's really really tempting - I want to see what the CDA sounds like but I suspect I'll have both setups and run them interchangeably.

 

[dann2707]

Well i'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sorry

I kid. Can't wait to take it for a spin tomorrow

 

[The Fatty]

BTW guys, As this exact sized filter hasn't been used before in this setup, its probably a good idea to check on the filter now and then just to make sure the engine isn't trying to eat it!

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh, mmmm, ok

Cda?

 

[McGherkin]

I'll admit, it's mainly for aesthetic purposes, but I really do love induction noise hence being torn over the two lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah. Always nice to have a choice

 

[GavC]

How do you remove the ducting that feeds down below headlight?

 

[The Fatty]

Oh, mmmm, ok 😧

it always wise to keep watch on something new / untested :smile: I dont think it should be a problem, but some poeple may bed/damage the cages so might turn into an issue. To be fair though, if it does happen, ramair haven't done there job properly!

 

[imprezaworks]

How do you remove the ducting that feeds down below headlight?

From memory, yank.

 

[SamHowell]

The setup I chose looks clean and neat but hasn't made a noticeable noise difference over the standard airbox. But I can tell a positive difference when driving it + the intake manifold stays stone cold when driving it now! Whereas it used to be to hot to touch

 

[imprezaworks]

When you say 'the set up i chose', im guessing it's not this one?

 

[SamHowell]

Same idea, Just a different filter! Does the exact same job!

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice work,

 

[SamHowell]

Nice work,

Thanks, I have had a couple of different induction kits on it before, This is the only style which has been relatively quiet! Some just are ridiculously loud! Although I have a Yozza decat so maybe that's why i cant hear it..

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah that maybe the reason lol. Will be fitting mine tomo.

 

[dann2707]

What have people done with the two ducts thar are left over from the standard airbox. I removed mine but not sure if I should fashion a way so that they provide air to the filter?

 

[imprezaworks]

You mean the ones that go down by the headlight?

 

[McGherkin]

And the best thing about a Phase 1 is that the vents in the front bumper lead pretty much directly into this space.
Win win win win.

 

[Gus]

Rain has stopped play ...booo. got as far as removing the standard airbox. Im at the stage of trying to get the pipe out that goes down to the acoustic valve too. the one next to the headlight. Do i really just yank it? , it wont damage the headlight wiring will it?

 

[Gus]

rain almost stopped - do I just yank the air feed pipe as above.

 

[Craig_RS]

Think someone mentioned a clip or button thing a couple pages back

 

[imprezaworks]

Stick your hand down and I'm sure a gentle pull will move it

 

[Gus]

Cool, just needed a little twist and pull in the end, got my hand down to the connector like you said and hey presto.

 

[Gus]

All done, nice and quick. Dont have any cable ties though, but used some string and the pipe insulation as mentioned a page or two back.

THANKS FATTY. off for a drive now.

 

[imprezaworks]

thoughts?

 

[dann2707]

Yes mate.

I'm about to go for a drive to get some Ron 99 will update my findings.

 

[imprezaworks]

Post 316 nailed the pipe issue.
