Advance Apoligise For This Question!

[James]

I know this has been recently metioned but... do pipercross do an induction kit for the Bravo 1.8 HLX115?
The only reason i ask is that im in the process of buying an induction kit and by the sounds of it all you guys rate the PiperX!, so i thought id find out how much one would cost, so i phoned the local halfords and they say that piperX dont do one for a 1.8 Bravo?
Is this so???
and if they dont what is the next best thing? Green?, K&N?
Many Many Thanks.
and sorry if its been asked a thousand time before!

James

anyone...? Please

No they don't. If you want one you will have to make your own from some Samco/SFS hose and a universal filter from piperX or ITG. Its not that hard to do.

Personally, I would not waste my money on a K&N or green. I've used them on carb'd cars and the dirt that gets through is amazing.

they will sell you the filter and the hose. I BELIEVE (and you should check this) that you need 83mm ID pipe.

Part C7019V

Part E45-83

And a couple of suitable hose clamps.

I give no guarantee that these will fit I only know what fits 1.6's and HGTs.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Advance Apoligise For This Question!

Any hose from 83 to 85mm bore will do (as it will clamp down a bit).

Not sure if a 45degree elbow will be long enough to get the filter into the wing, tom?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Advance Apoligise For This Question!

Like I said, no guarantee

Its not that far from the air meter to the filter, maybe 250mm?

Tom whats the difference between capped, foam or vector tops? which one u have or recommend..

 

[Tom]

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Advance Apoligise For This Question!

WEll.. capped have a cap, foam have no cap and vector means it has an inverted cone inside the filter.

Don't waste your time, money and effort.

Re: Re: Advance Apoligise For This Question!

Look, just cos you had a K&N and were incapable of driving sanely does not mean everyone else should do what you did.

Please try and be constructive if you are going to comment around here. This forum is to help people, not diss everything they have done or would like to do.

Ignore the anonymous bloke, its just Roger Ramjet being an old git

You won't get any more power, we all know that, it just sounds good and certainly on a 1.6 revs REALLY happily.
