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

Recently joint the forum after buying a ph2 172, came across this thread. Going to get evything ordered to make this kit :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm sure you will love it

 

[Jekyll]

Noise alone is worth it.

 

[gb270_calum]

So I don't have to read all 33 pages is everyone still using the parts in the original post?

As above really :smile: have mine for about 3 years and still love it!

Yep they still work fine. There is a silicon pipe alternative buried in here though. I just sprayed my pipe black and it looks great.

 

[Jekyll]

Here is what the silicone version looks like if you wanted to go down that route:

 

[imprezaworks]

battery located in the boot and this set up would work even better

 

[gb270_calum]

Brilliant cheers guys will get everything ordered

[Mr Plums]

Lools a lot bigger in black too

So the ladies say.

What leg length do people go for with these? My friend has just bought a 172 and it has the worst IK ever seen on it, so was going to advise him to go for this. It's ages since I did mine so I can't remember what length I bought. The original eBay listing for mine doesn't exist anymore.

Does anyone oil the ramair filters?

 

[Amos91]

My Ktec induction, I clean and oil every 4-6k.

 

[hipwell]

Just ordered my kit.

Is there any point in removing the acoustic valve to allow more cool air up behind the headlight?

 

[Jekyll]

Its not needed so might as well make space.

Make sure you block up the pipe leading to the acoustic valve from the inlet. I did this:

[hipwell]

Still waiting for my alloy bend but my filter is here so just been to have a look.

Turns out I've got a 75 sized battery which is already butted up very close to the ecu.

Anybody successfully fitted one with a 75 sized batt?

 

[MarcB]

Not a fatty "Homemade kit" as such but a k-tec one

 

[rossjacko]

@MarcR™
Is that a homemade cover/shielding or a bought one? Was thinking of making something almost identical... But if it's readily available and not expensive I might but one to save the hassle.

@rossjacko this goes on sale tonight as I have a batch of these that have been made up with a couple of spare proto types.

Any preferences over the cone Ramair and straight Pipercross filters? I've seen two sizes of the cone filter too, 125 and 140mm long...

 

[Jekyll]

Dont get the pipercross one. C0171 if thats the one im thinking of, which is a straight one. Sound is not that good.

I swapped mine for the ramair one.

Hi guys

Looking for a bit of guidance on this! I quite fancied an (ASH 70mm 90 degree) silicone hose in place of the alloy bend, but have subsequently realised that there's probably a bit more to it!

I've now realised that I'll probably need an alloy connector (or two?) to go into the rubber tube that sits on the throttle body and presumably another to go into the induction cone. Would I just need two 70mm swaged connectors, or would swaged not fit? I'm assuming I'd need 4 jubilee clips too?

I'm also looking at blocking off the acoustic valve, does anyone know what you need / can buy to block this off?

Would really appreciate any help that can be provided

Dont bother with swages, there is no pressure. and you will need 3 jubilee clips, the standard one on the first 90 out of the TB can be retained.
Your adding in more clips that look ugly, more joins that add turbulance/resitance (very minimal issue) and IMO your better of with a 90 metal elbow.

 

[DPH]

Thanks for the reply. Have ordered the 90 elbow - any guidance on the acoustic valve per chance?

Cheers

 

[loggyboy]

Do you mean the valve that is in the wheel arch? I retained (ignored) mine! - its automatically disconnect when the standard airbox is removed.
So once a cone filter is fitted, it can just be removed.

Ey up

Just today fitted this and been out for a quick a blast. I cant believe the difference its made to the car the low end torque is awesome and the induction noise make the car feel alive. I would 100% recommended this setup simple cheap and completely changes the cars characte! cheers Fatty

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Alloy bend all the way, not into the full silicone look myself.

 

[imprezaworks]

My set up but thinking out loud I would like to relocate the battery

Them fingerprints. Shocking!

 

[imprezaworks]

Partly mine partly one of the lads in work thought it would be an idea to put a cup of tea on it.

Hope his contract has been torn up!

 

[182Brodie]

@massivewangers im other way round personally and ASH is only 20 minutes from me so popped down today and picked the bits up.

Love that @imprezaworks you just put a breather onto the back of the head?

Word of advise to anyone going for the silicone over alloy 90 bend you will need 2 100mm 70mm alloy connectors. Might be obvious to some but you know.

 

[imprezaworks]

Contract. Second hand dealership, been there about 20 years. Contract?!? Nah.

Was on the car when I bought it mate

 

[182Brodie]

Did previous owner build that housing themselves?

 

[imprezaworks]

I assume so but wouldn't be hard to do wouldn't have thought

 

[182Brodie]

Very nice im gonna have to look into it
