Induction Kits

[Alex_225]

Just wondered what induction kits people were using on their 133s?

I was kinda fancying a Green kit as the Clio 182 kit I had sitting in my loft fitted directly onto the Mrs 133. The sound is awesome and the throttle response is noticeably better on a cold day and you don't notice any drop in performance during hot days.

Does anyone know the actual diamiter of the induction pipe from the airbox? I was wanting one of the Green twin cone filters purely because they look quite cool and intended on fitting it in the same way as the Mrs one.

I've made mine from bits and bobs... Silicone elbow, stainless steel pipe and then a K&N come towards the front bumper/next to battery with some heat shield.

Didn't cost much to make up and could obviously be done with a green filter too.

If I remember I'll get some photos soon.

Cheers guys just the info I was after.

To be honest a lot of the 'kits' companies like Green, K&N etc put together are just a cone filter with a couple of adapters rings and jubilee clips.

Was considering this cone filter just need a metal adapter tube like the full 182 kit to join it with a couple of jubilee clips.

Subject to testing of the replacement, I know of an enclosed system that will be avaliable soon

i was thinking of purchasing the single cone green filter, would it just fit on the end of my silicone hoses ive had fitted or will i need to purchase extras so it fits?.
help would be appreciated. thanks

 

[scotth133]

also what size cone filter would i need ?.

Ok so I had one laying around, pulled my finger out and fitted it yesterday. Absolutely no idea wgat it is, tbh I don't care. Heatsoak, again I don't care! The difference, if any isn't noticeable and it sounds awesome. It is massive though :lol:

Oh and there was an issue with bridging the gap between the 80mm filter and the 68mm inlet :lol: I was bring cheap and didn't wanna pay for anything

 

[Matt]

The problem with using the original hose is the cone will move about a lot. I found that with sudden movements (ie. when blipping the throttle to rev match), the engine would move enough to make the cone fling up and hit the bonnet.

Have to agree though, the sound is insane. I think it's comparable to taking the bung out. The difference that makes x2!

 

[maggi200]

I cable tie the end through the original holes for the bung so it doesn't move at all. Just took this pic before.

Where's your pics Matt?!

 

[Matt]

Ah right yeah I think I tried that on mine. Keep an eye on it as the cable ties can snap quite easily.

Haha pics later

 

[maggi200]

I snapped the first ones when fitting them so found some heavy duty versions, fairly confident they won't snap soon

DIY carbon/kevlar ftw

I've cable tied the cone in the Mrs 133 without a problem and it certainly doesn't budge.

Matt - when you said about yours hitting the bonnet, is that the noise we mentioned before when you blip the throttle on the down change? I've experienced that a couple of times, blipping up to say 3,500rpm-ish but I'm not convinced it'd be the cone filter hitting anything as the Mrs one does not move enough.

 

[Matt]

I used some pretty hefty cable ties and I didn't think they would budge. A week or so later and every single one (I use LOADS) had snapped, thus allowing the cone to hit the bonnet on occasion.

 

[maggi200]

I thought you were meant to be good at this kinda stuff Matt!

You got any pics sorted yet

 

[Matt]

What, using cable ties? lol

No I haven't... I'll get some today I promise Only iPhone pics though.

 

[maggi200]

I meant the engineering kinda side lol

That's pretty mad. I've fitted various induction kits with the aid of a couple of trust cable ties, even with the heat under the bonnet they've never broken on me! lol

 

[Matt]

It may be down to the way they were mounted to be honest... If I remember correctly, there were some sharp edges which over time could have rubbed through and caused them to snap. I wrapped a majority of the cable ties around the old airbox mount. This was the only suitable place though...
