MasterTechTip Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Looks okay does the bonnet shut alright? There are quite a lot of different intakes about so they all fit slightly different. Some of them face downwards and sit under the passenger headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another hose which connects to the enclosure where the spark plugs sit, this is connected to the lower housing for the stock air box, my question is i have seen a lot of people connecting the blue hose there? so i'm a tad confused. Does it matter that i didn't take the lower housing off? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Induction kit on a naturally aspirated car 🤦♂️🤦♂️😂. I guess less power was the trade off for the whoosing sound? You really need to build a heat shield around the pod filter to stop all the heat soak. At least then you'll regain the lost ponies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Heaton Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Most modern cars these days have a good intake as standard, with a cold air feed from the grille. You can get more power by fitting larger pipes to this intake which is better than an open ik I'd say. Your open ik there will be sucking in hot air so will lose power. If you can fit a pipe to get cold air in that would help. The lower housing will help actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiestaecoboostman Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 A decent panel filter is the way to go I think. But everyone has an opinion. Heat soak will result in less dense (therefore lower 02 levels) air being breathed with an open induction kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickets0812 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 i have to say the kit achieves what i wanted, a better sound when i accelerate - nothing too crazy, performance feels the same really. thanks for your comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
