Ebay and chips

It'll give you a few extra bhp and make the car more responsive. If the K&N were to give you say 4bhp at a guess, you'd prob'ly get in the order of 3 from a panel filter.

The advantage of a panel filter is that it's dead easy to fit and still looks standard.

Pete have you seen where the airbox is located on a stilo?


@ nowimboard if want more power get a BMC carbon dynamic airbox. It's more expensive but just as easy to fit.

@ nowimboard - How do you consider a £70 induction kit expensive but drive a nearly new Stilo?

Oh and welcome!

its a k&n, bit like paying 20p to go for a dump, then finding out you only wanted a fart
GO FOR A BMC CDA

Becuase I've spent all me money on the stilo


BMC? Isn't that it lot that made the Back to the Future car? [Cant spell it, have already tried] Or what that DMC? Oh well.
What does the CDA do then?

AND 4 BHP from the K&N? Surely its all sound then! 4BHP doesn't seem very much at all! Or does it make all the differnece under acceleration?

*feels another loan comming on to get the car kitted out*

Just went and found their website rather than be lazy and ask you lot all the ttime, It says on all the air boxs that they are used for track use and not raod use! So which one would i get?


The one that doesn't cost £200!

 

[Stu DemonD]

Quite a few of the Stilo boys are running BMC CDAs - me for one

That site is American, ignore it - mine is used on the road, and insurance notified

Close enough ... that was a 1982 GMC DeLorean.

 

[nowimboard]

That's the one! GMC!

So hows much did you pay for yours then?

 

[Stu DemonD]

More than £70

Mine was done as part of an Angel Tuning package - plus it was the big version, to fit on the 2.4...Also had a remap done to take full advantage of it

So how much BHP do you get out of it?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Well, supposedly 190bhp....

 

[SLOVAC]

I suppose that would be on the fly-wheel? Not the wheels?

 

[Stu DemonD]

I suppose - 170bhp book, plus CDA + remap...Hasn't been on a R/R yet.

 

[nowimboard]

This all sounds soo complex, All i want is the nippy ness back that the fiesta had! Although the Reving about 3000 does give me some nippyness (and an amazing engine sound) I would like a bit more power when i put my foot down!

 

[Stu DemonD]

Sorry, we have gone off track - not helped by fact you have a 1.6 and I have a 2.4...

Why not get a pipercross - stilosporting is doing a deal on here, isn't he?

 

[dave]

this thread supposesd to be about chips mmmmm chips

 

[nowimboard]

It was about chips! Not mmm chips, I've just had 4 doughnuts!
Basically I was asking for opinons about chips and engine modifications, as I said i wanted that extra OOOOOPPMMMF out of the car at acceleration!


Why not get a pipercross - stilosporting is doing a deal on here, isn't he?

But the Pipercross is just an induction kit isn't it, and I was told the K&N is better (which I can get for slighty cheaper) And where you said it only makes 4BHP differnce, and doesn't seem to be worth the money? Am i just being REALLY retarded about this and a total pain? Sorry if I am, I'm not technically minded when it comes to cars!
