Hey everyone i am just writing athread about my induction kit
if you are wanting a kit for your cento but dont want to pay over the top for one yo can make your own.

I went to my local scrappy the other day and purchased a bob fom a 899cc cento and had a look around all the other cars on offer for piping

I found that if you take a look under the hood of a v6 vauxhall omega you will find two air pipes one with a breather pie for the oil (i think) and one without i took the one without and it fitted perfectly if you clamp it on tight the as the diameter of the inlet for the cone to fit on is the right size my K&N filter just fit right in there,my induction kit sounds awesome.

I just thought id share as there are many people posting induction kit threads hope this is of help i will be posting pictures later of my kit

what i meant was if your on a small budget as im a student and its my first car
the induction is increased as more air is being sucked in through the pipe, havent had the chance to get the power tested yet as my garage i go to is closed
 
no it doesnt sound like a clapped out vacuum cleaner obviously there is a noise difference but it has a more deeper sound to it, when the engine is revved the pipe moves as it sucks in plus i tested the amount of air with the standard air box on and it is less than the one with the new filter system on
 
im not sure how much the focus-a-like kit cost but mine was around £30 down to the fact that my k&N filter came from ex catalauge stock from my friends shop

in all honesty if i could afford a gsr or better kit i would but for the moment as ima student the one i have made will do just as good job i think
it soundsthroaty under acceleration aswel

This is not paying over the top then. I do understand that people have budgets. Still the wording was rather degrading for a product that is under the price that it actually should be.
 
im sorry if i offended you i didnt mean to put it in those words i just meant if you havnt got the money to buy a more expensive kit,

if this kit works after being tested then it does go to show you can make a decent kit on a tight budget i say "HOPEFULL" as it could be a complete bum of a induction kit if so ill have to save up for a better one

How much did your insurance skin you for the mod?

im not sure yet as ive decided to modify my cento first then face the concequences afterwards maybe the wrong way to go about things but im hoping i can afford it
 
im sorry clxCRAIG but to me your opinion means nothing im looking for oppinionsoff genuine fiat owners ones that will help me im sure everyone that makes their own induction kit messes up some time im just using trial and error and learning form my mistakes
its up to you what you think but please keep your opinion to yourself im looking for advise not critasim from someone who doesnt know me
thanks
 
Yeah do tell them. Even when everything is ok with them, when it comes to sorting incidents out it's hard enough. I know, I've finally got my burn out cinq recovered tonight after it being sat there for 3 days and alot of phone calls.
 
hey guys im a newbie to this site and as i can see it if he enjoyed making it and he thinks he got value for money thats all that counts right irrespective of power gains or and i quote sounds like a clapped out vac cleaner if he likes it that will do for me:D
