Hi welcome to Fiat Forum

I changed mine to induction kit, if you can get hold of a GSR induction kit that would be bet but can only get them second hand as he doesnt make them anymore.

Alternativley you could go for a CDA (Carbon Dynamic Airbox) and fit your own silicone tubing
Thats what i did check out my GP thread on my signature underneath

Hope this helps

thats grate cheers ive had a look at the gsr but really hard to find, would love one tho! my gp is a starjet so do i need to find a specific one that will fit that or dose it not matter if it a t-jet/starjet ect.?? im clueless what to look for lol!!

 

[Sean23491]

Mine is a starjet aswell so I would have a look at how mine is and go from there i you have any questions just give me a shout

I used someone else parts from thier car but you will need 2 90 degree elbows and alloy or silicone connector, the CDA and a cold air intake pipe size of silicone and alloy pipes depend on what the connector on the CDA, the throttle body is 50mm in diameter.

That's great mate you don't fancy making me a dummies guide do ya )

 

[Sean23491]

Ill sort you somats out when i get back.to my computer because im out at the minute

 

[ajtheclaret]

That's brilliant cheers!

You will need a few compenents as follows:-

CDA - I have BMC but there are plenty out there
Two 90 degree silicone elbows (1 needs to be 70mm reducing to 50mm for throttle body, other dpends on the size of the entrance to the CDA)
Alloy connector piece (Size depends on CDA)
Cold Air Intake pipe (Size depends on CDA)

I would recommend looking at ASH Silicone Preformance - http://www.autosiliconehoses.com/

I would say find out what CDA you want and you can go from there

 

[ajtheclaret]

should i get a 70mm alloy connector and then obv. a 70mm reduced to whatever the cda is for the 2nd elbow?

 

[Sean23491]

Yes you could do that

 

[ajtheclaret]

cool cheers well ive found one on good old ebay which is 80mm so fingers crossed

Dont bother with a GSR, i bought one and it was poorly made rubbish so sent it back.

DIY job sounds easy enough

 

[ajtheclaret]

cheers mate well im goin for the bmc cda now

 

[middo85]

Ive got a BMC panel filter in my T-jet,

CDA kits were highly recommended on the MG forums when i had a ZR

 

[ajtheclaret]

yeah ive heard good things about them myself so hopefully ill find a reasonably priced one on ebay, and not mess up on the size joints ect. ill need lol

 

[Sean23491]

Ive got a BMC CDA and its perfect highly recommend give me a shout when you have one if you need any help
