it says its made by simota?

 

[jonathanedew]

I am no expert, but it doesn't exactly tell you much about the product does it?
Whatever the item being advertised, I'd not part with my cash without not knowing exactly what I'm buying, especially if shipped from abroad(?)

 

[Shaun!]

mmm. spose. any other thoughts~? i like the idea of having a simota style funnel to channel the air to the filter??

 

[Damo_Sport]

i had one of them on my old saxo vts. works ok, replaced the filter with a green cotton one though

 

[Beef-Mc]

Surely it's just the sameas K-Tec's ramcharger?

 

[Shaun!]

so it was good? ok? crap?

 

[Shaun!]

ktecs ramcharger? anyone got a link to that at all ?

 

[StephenJ]

i got one of these on mine! Haven't seen another though till now. lol.

not sure what it does for power but it certainly sounds good

PM me if there's anything specific you wanna know dude

 

[Shaun!]

i got one of these on mine! Haven't seen another though till now. lol.

what do you think? any pics of your engine bay? sound ? improvements?

thats what the bay looks like with it in. Sounds very throaty to say the least!

 

[Shaun!]

any more so than a normal filter? how big is the opening for the cold air? just a bit concenred it looks a little small and skinny? where did you get yours from btw?

 

[StephenJ]

Mine was also from Ebay but not shipped over from abroad.

I guess the air feed is roughly 5-6" wide by 2-3" high at a guess so not too bad really.

As for noise it's a deep 'throaty' sound without being annoying and loud, i can cruise on the motorway at 70-80 and you wouldn't even know it was fitted...it's only under hard acceleration and at high revs you can really hear it.

 

[Shaun!]

mmmm

decisions.... what did u pay for it btw ?? do you remmember where from ?

 

[StephenJ]

i paid £90 delivered iirc

you won't regret it mate...in my opinion anyway

 

[Shaun!]

quite cheeky, but dont suppose u have any sort of vid at all?

 

[StephenJ]

there's a vid of a 172 with a simota on the site somewhere, don't have any of mine though i'm afraid

 

[Shaun!]

or where u bought it ?

 

[StephenJ]

not a clue buddy, it was from Ebay over a year ago...gimme a minute i'll see if my bidding history goes back that far

 

[Shaun!]

awesome, cheers for that !

 

[StephenJ]

think the sellers name is-

fjr_uk

 

[Shaun!]

cool thanks for that. do you think the k tec ramcharger thing looks pretty much the same ?

 

[StephenJ]

haven't seen one to comment buddy to be honest

 

[Shaun!]

no probs. cheers for your help

 

[StephenJ]

no worries mate.

like i say PM me if there's anything else you wanna know

 

[Shaun!]

will do

 

[stewart]

"Please send us a picture of your engine room before place a bid" does worry me slightly!

Standard induction on the Clio 172's is good.

Some aftermarket Induction kits can cause "heat-soak" and zap power i.e lose it

Best way to tell if its making a difference is to get a before RR and after RR day to be sure
