Tuning GSR Kit Fitted and Reviewed

dont forget a cda will need cleaning a lot more often than a standard box or an open filter though, every 3 months i found when i had one

i would also try replacing this pipe, for some thing with out the concertina bit for a better flow

Will be careful, thanks ;) A fair amount of thinking were concerned
of this issue during the installation. The filter has the air box now and
the place is the best.

Time will tell. Still confident (y)
 
Sorry if this is a dumb question but please can someone tell me what the benefits of an induction kit are and how they work? Also are they an option for diesel engines?
 
I think it allows the engine to breathe easier.. allows more air in and thus make it more powerful. Air to fuel mixture??

Ive seen k&n filters for the 1.9 multijet on ebay but just the filter ..no kit?? which are various pipes/hoses/brackets.

I hope what i said is correct but im sure someone with more knowledge will sum it up better for you UKDucatiman.
Btw hows ur mapped bravo doing.. i had mine map and had to revert it back to standard.
 
its bit likes "TUNES" they help you breath more easily - basically any normal filter in a box is quite restrictive when it comes to the amount of air it can supply (or should I say it can allow through it) Adding higher volumes of air to the combustion mix allows a more efficient fuel burn, which in turn improves power and fuel economy.

An induction kit is usually a filter (cone normally as it allows more surface area than a flat panel) and some larger bore inlet pipes to the air flow sensor which give it a more smoothed out, straight forward route, sometimes come with a heat sheild to stop the filter pulling in hot engine bay air as cold air is denser than hot air (so in a given volume there is more air - if you see what I mean ) so this will also increase the amount of air and also allow the engine to supply slightly more fuel to that air - hence more power

Thanks for the excellent explanation. So this is similar to 'Ram Air' technology in the bike world where you force more air into the airbox/engine to improve combustion and thus power. So I guess the key thing is the positioning of the cone to get the best airflow and also the given speed you are doing as I assume the faster you go the more impact (power) it helps provides.
