help with k&n

i've just got a k&n induction kit for my tipo today but im having trouble fitting it , can anyone give my advise on how it goes? i've fitted the filter straght on to the inlet but i dont think thats right as i have loads of bits left over and the instructions just dont make sence. any help would be great

I don't think anyone fits them straight to the inlet... means a lot of work fitting in the breathers etc. Most people fit them in the wing where the original filter is... and duct it to the inlet.

its not actualy a KN but this is way how should cold air induction kit looks like...



but dont worry, if you send me a pict.. of all parts what did you get in package, i can tell you how to fit it /i working in tuning/styling department...

i didn't get any piping to feed it down to where the old filter was, its got a flexy pipe that you have to feed from your front grill and it ends near the filter to get cold air to it but it looks a mess. is there anything that i can use to make a pipe to feed it down to the wheel arch?

i got my pipe from a local company i just asked for sum off cut piping from there silicone hoses. i wouldnt fit it to the inlet as the under bonnet temperature gets ver high

I made mine from some 80mm flexible ducting wrapped in duct tape to make sure it was protected from perforation.

Will make a better one when the funds allow.

if u have 1.4 or 1.6 version maybe this will help

Sorry, i posted the image of my 1.6L SOHC cone filter fitting
i've just seen your signature, its a Sedici

one more thing, do as i did, IMPROVISE
due to our market`s high prices ( pipe`s is more expensive than the filter ), i had to improvise a piping to fit my filter

it`s a one peace hard rubber tube, i don`t even remember the car that uses this tube
i was going to replace it with aluminum pipe or even a PVC one
the performance satisfies me, so i wont change it

what i mean is, if you can think of anything that will connect the filter at the wing to the inlet, DO IT

sorry again, my bad

cheers mate i've sorted it anyway now, i bought a chrome bend pipe from a local performance shop for £18 but it was not long enough so i pinched a solid rubber pipe off of one of the machines at work, it was a perfect fit, and then i've rapped it in a red vinyl, looks well. i will take a picture of it and post it on here.

not to bad for my first attemped, wouldn't mind getting some of that silicon piping but at £50 a metre its stupid.

Very Nice

i think i might have some silicon piping from when i did mine, but it's been in my garage for abit so dont no what condition it's in , i will have a look and let you no.
