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

[imprezaworks]

Unless you swap it to a silicone one that will Allways happen. I'm sure you knew that though lol.

It won't have any real effect getting hot

 

[oreA]

I suppose I thought all the air flowing through it would keep it cool, but I really don't know how much air is being sucked in :laughing:.

Thanks for the quick reply, I can rest easy :up:.

 

[imprezaworks]

I've had a few of these now and never had an issue. I'd be more concerned. About the filter getting warm in really warm weather.

 

[oreA]

The filter felt fine, but I'll keep an eye on it. It could get warmer on a much longer run of course......

 

[imprezaworks]

There's a group buy for a battery cover that the induction hose goes through, not sure if you have seen that. I will be getting one as they look good and I think it will have a function too

 

[oreA]

I have seen it, definitely interested :up:.

Hi all! I have a question, i read in all sites that when you get "hot air" instead of cold air, normally you are loosing power, but I read opener and he said and shows how he is gaining some power, how is it possible? Im thinking to do this to my car. Thanks!

Because with this the filter gets relocated behind the passenger headlight, where the air tends to be quite cool

Ouch, i thought it was hot air in all motor bay, not only in some points. Definitely im going to do this. Now i need help to choose materials, because im reading almost all pages and everyone buy something different. Some people put a silicone pipe, and on the other side is steel pipe, so which is better? And about the diameter, is needed to get 70mm in the interior or exterior?
I appreciate some links to ebay or anything, thanks for all!

Get 20% off your bends!

 

[MrBlonde]

Ive got a silicone bend in black brand new & joiner to brand new if anyone is insterested.

 

[Clio_fool]

That code sound work until August 5th.

This is what I bought:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200967481273 (70mm external diameter, swaged ends, 150mm leg length)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390629059729

It all fitted together nicely and no other purchases were necessary. The filter came with a Jubilee Clip too, even though it's not shown in the eBay listing. I went for the alloy pipe based on looks and cost.

Oh and don't forget cable ties to secure everything, other than fabricating a bracket this seems to be the only way to keep the setup steady.

I want to paint my fatty pipe black, do I need any special sort of paint for it? It's the defacto ASH pipe.

Lol at painting your fatty pipe black, once you go black you don't go back!

Is far too shiny in that black hole of dirt and gunge!

 

[Ills]

I just roughed mine up using fine wet and dry paper then used Halfords satin black, came out surprisingly well!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks great

 

[16v-clio]

Did everyone use the filter they received that looked small!?
I ordered the CC-115 which is 120mm at the base and 125mm tall and it looks tiny! Wondering if it's being used without issue or if I should return it for the slightly larger one

 

[Hastie]

I just receive the pipe but i can read 76mm on diameter. I think i receive a wrong order, because i have the bill and i ordered with 70mm, not 76, so it doesnt fit it on my filter.

 

[Jekyll]

What filter?

 

[Timmyjk7]

Guys I have really struggled to get the kit to fit. I went for a 70mm silicone hose rather than the solid one Fatty uses and the hose just won't fit to the existing bend and to the ramair filter. Has anyone experienced this issue?

 

[Jekyll]

You need a ally joiner to join the 2 pipes together.

You are gonna need some kind of joiner to fit a silicone bend to the existing bend

 

[Timmyjk7]

Thanks guys. Do I need two then one to collect to the existing plastic and then one to the filter?

You need 70mm. The 2 jubilee clips to connect them together.

 

[Jekyll]

Does your filter have a neck? Or is it open?

If the latter, then yes you need 2. If your filter has a neck, it'll just slide into the silicone bend.

 

[Timmyjk7]

It has a neck. So in essence I need two number 70mm dia ally joiners and that will fit perfect to the existing plastic intake hose that goes into the engine and then one that then goes into the new filter

 

[Jekyll]

Yes, that's correct.

Obviously you'll need jubilee clips for the throttle body, ally joiner and filter. 4 in total, 60-80mm.

 

[Jekyll]

In fact, is yours the same filter as mine?

 

[Timmyjk7]

Ordered thank you however my neck isn't that long

 

[Mr Plums]

Ordered thank you however my neck isn't that long

So what you are saying is that, you're not a giraffe?

:tongueclosed::smile:

 

[Hastie]

What filter?

Hi Jekyll, I bought Ramair filter, and pipe is bigger than neck so its impossible to fit it, even with fairy :tongueclosed:

 

[Jekyll]

@Hastie, Sorry i meant what Ramair filter? Link to the one you bought?

As above, you need a ally joiner to fit from you filter to your silicone bend. Its in the link a few posts up
