jamesm182 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 ST170 alloys fit perfectly. I had a set on my old 2004 MK1.5 1.8 zetec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgibbs57 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi All, I'm toying with the idea of fitting a 3M cone air filter to my mk1 1.8 Focus (shown here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Air-Filter-Unit-Universal-Included/dp/B001CKB6NC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1ZM6J7ZBU9GP6&coliid=I2QLXGPULFGODB#productDetails) as it's quite cheap Any ideas about? (1) the air box, do I need to remove it? Can it be adapted? (2) the breather pipe? where should I attach it Any ideas? TIA Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_focus Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just had all 4 tyres filled with nitrogen and what a diffrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronVonSideburns Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What difference does that make? I know it is a more stable gas than air but what does it do to the ability of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 It makes less road noise and it leaks a lot less pressure than air air loses 1-2 psi a month where nitrogen loses 1psi ever 5-6 month and the car just fells better in corners and the steering seems more responsive I would recommend to any one it's worth a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronVonSideburns Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Any tyres? And how much roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 All tyres can take nitrogen they just deflate your existing tyres and then fill them up with nitrogen gas to your own psi limit ats euro master are doing 4tyres for £5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hey guys I was woundering could I put engine parts out of a st170 in to my mk1 2003 1.8 focus to get more power out of her won't out doing a engine transplant if so what do I need to change thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It makes less road noise and it leaks a lot less pressure than air air loses 1-2 psi a month where nitrogen loses 1psi ever 5-6 month and the car just fells better in corners and the steering seems more responsive I would recommend to any one it's worth a go Nitrogen cannot increase grip of the tyres, PSI for PSI, its the same as air so you could get the same effect by increasing the PSI of the air in your tyres, the pure nitrogens' pressure changes less with different temperatures, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 As it contains no water the nitrogen never freezes unlke air so nitrogen keeps the tyres natural form in cold weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Cool I. Just won a st 170 snorkel and pipe for £12 of eBay and now iv just won a stainless steel de cat and 4-2-1 manifold for £69. Will a 4-2-1 manifold make much diffrence to my bhp output it say 20% on the sellers site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke.grimbley Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It will vary from car to car but I'd say 20% is ambitious. Id say up to 10hp for the decat and full system together which will probably be noticeable. The new system will likely be lighter too which will help power/weight. Good buy on the 170 snorkel. That's a steal ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yer it's just the snorkel and pipes no lower box but for the price can't complain and as for the new manifold well that's a price that can't be complained at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke.grimbley Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Stainless manifold for 70 quid, you really can't complain:P Sound's a mapping will be needed to bring all these mod's together..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well there is a place near me that claim that the 4-2-1 manifold will give me about 20bhp so that's 115 -135 plus a remap that's almost 150-160 bhp before induction kit and exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 New induction filter with a exhaust heat shield used as a cover. It feels like it has improved the power slightly and gives a nice sporty roar when u put ya foot down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
