[makavelli]

oh no! lol

let battle commence

lol i thought it might have been gone over before, but i can only find them for the mk2's etc...

 

[makavelli]

yer to be fair matey ive never seen breather mods disussed for mk1's

 

[makavelli]

i rekon it will follow suit tho as in: panel with modified box being better performance wise and open filter more for noise

as said above. Open filter will give you great noise but will lose performance whereas a closed panel filter will give you better performance but no noise.

i have used piper viper with cold feed straight to the ground, and panel filter in origonal box with feed straight to the ground.....i found that the panel kept the engine very free and fuel consumption very good....the piper was bad for fuel and sound was more then performance......so i say panel cheeper and keeps things nicer i think

how do you modify the airbox matey?

what brand panel filter is best for the mk1's then, heard good things about green!

 

[manicmonkey]

people here are always raving about itg

i just drilled a couple of bg boxes in my airbox to give a meaty sound its not quite as good a sound as a cone filter, but theres barely anythin in it

yeah gooood, buutttt i dont know if they do them for the mk1

 

[mas]

ahhh sweet, the design of the RT airbox is cack, would probs drill a few holes underneath though

 

[manicmonkey]

i cant imagine theres much difference between the mk1/2 airboxes. if you order from gdi or yozzasport im sure they'll give you good advice

 

[manicmonkey]

oh sorry mate, didnt see you said RT, im sure they'll still be able to help you tho

 

[makavelli]

green and itg panels seem popular!

i know it aint a mk 1 but i had a itg on my 182 and it was a lot better than an open filter for performance

not sure how to mod a mk1 airbox but improving the air feed and flow to the box is what you need so perhaps bigger openings and maybe a few drilled holes

lol, i shall be buying a green replacement filter then.. maybe get a few bits of ducting n stuff...

cheers chaps
