no more real problems

[l0rne]

ive just coe back from my holiday and back to a hefty bill, i had my MOT which failed but now everything fixed ( brakes and wishbones) which cost me 260 altogether, then my car wasnt well and kept cutting out, i found out my throttle body was f**ked, so a new one plus laour set me back 330 quid!

now my car is running fine, purrs like mad now! but i want an induction kit, one problem is i dont want a universal one and i dont trust many sites when they have different sizes and things, what size should i get like cone or whatever?

hopefully soon i get my boot sprayed as for 2 months the tailgate looks asif its got lots of tipex on it, ill upload before and after pictures when i get it done

so any help on the induction kit/ air filter w.e would be much appreciated (Y)

BMC's are the best on the market but also very expensive just for a slight difference if any!

K&N and Pipercross are both ok although I prefer the K&N. Both of these would need an extra feed for cold air as they sit directly on the TB, they don't have a guard against the engines hot air going in.

i went into halfords and told them i wanted to order one for my car.....

it cost about £70 or just over tho but at least i knew it was the right one. its a k&n to.

Yeah the K&N give a good sound, this is prob wot you will have to do. Only thing im not to keen on is how it looks, but who see's the engine when your driving?

^^ Best to get a heatshield in between the engine and the filter. Even with the cold air feed you have too much hot air going directy into the filter.

Yeah defently. I just got my 4 branch manifold fitted and the amount of heat that gives out is insane! Induction roar has slightly decreased to.

where would u get a heatsheild from? i assume can get it for the mk5 to?

[NOZ]

^^ Places like Halfords, Carnoisseur etc do them.

You could also wrap the manifold to reduce the heat coming off of it. You would lose the bling factor though

I wouldn't just get a heat shield for that. I'd get a 90 degree pipe and further piping that runs from the the TB to the air filter also, that way it's not mounted vertically and further away from the hot engine.

[jezza]

What tim said is a good idea but dont forget about the crankcase breather. You will need to either run a separate pipe for that or get a filter to fit on. Can get pipercross ones for around £20. I personally say to keep the induction filter as close as you can to the Throttle body, or just get a BMC CDA one.

the bmc cda have hafe a filter inside a casing dont they so it goes through the cold air feed through the filter straight into the throttle body? bypassing n e chance of warm air getting involved?
