Hey Guys/Girls,

Yet again I am looking for your advice regarding whether to fit a K&N induction kit or the BMC CDA one? I don't have a bottomless pocket and that is why I am leaning towards the K&N one. The sound isnt such a biggy for me. What I am really interested in is an increase in torque due to the Mk2 Sporting not having the fastest acceleration. Really my choices are: Buy a K&N now or wait a few months and buy a BMC CDA one.

I am going to treat the car to a remap before I go back to uni (currently in year out) and currently the engine is totally standard.

Is an induction kit even the best engine mod for me seeing as the engine is currently untouched? What do you guys/girls think?

Thanks
Dave
 
i just ordered a BMC DIA and it arrived lol, opened the box and they gave me a CDA by mistake lmao.

A BMC CDA FOR ONLY £86 lmao

i put a K7N on my Sporting and it madea big difference to the torque for about a month then started to go bit rubish so i re ruited it to above my wheel arch and made a scoop in the bonett just above it, and made a box section around it and now it sound good and i have got exellent torque and lovely sound!! Which proves K&N's are good in the right place! Although all the money on top of buyin the induction kit would probably of got me a GSR Kit Lol

you got evidence to prove it?
 
And why would i need to proove it? its just one way of makin your K&N work better and sound good, it works for me.

coz were interested in these kind of things, and it helps the people that cant afford the GSR kit to get a cheaper alternitive, you said it gives we torque increases, and you said "it proves a k&n are good in the right place"

so for the benefit of a cheaper alternitive, we like too see proof, no gains, not worth it for performance, for those that just want noise, why get a k&n, just get a tube and a filter for £20, so again no gains no point unless its just for noise(y)
 
And the reson i say it gives more torque/power is when i fist got my sporting it pulled away okaii and was nippy then when i put the K&N on i cold hardly keep the wheels from spinning when i pull away thats without meaning to, untill it started to get full or crud from being at the back of the engine, so i moved it on the advice of my friend and i have noticed a furter increase in power and with it being enclosed in the box section it sounds much nicer!

It cost me about £15 on top of the price for the induction kit to make the box section and £10 for the bonnet scoop! and in all it took me about 2 hours to do the whole build!

think you need new tyres then.....kidding:D:p

sure its not just sounding quicker, take it to an rr day, see for sure, always interesting too see different interpretations of mods, so it gives power gains too? cool, be good to see and know for sure though(y)
 
Im possitive its not just sounding fast lol,

What ia a RR day?:confused: (no laughin im new. . . :cool:)

What car you got?
