Going to give this a blast. Now im thick when it comes to this sort of stuff but want to give it a blast. From this thread i know what i need. http://www.rsmegane.com/showthread.php?646-ITG-cone-filter-induction-kit I guess all i need to know is will the air filter i have off an old clio do the job, if not what can be done if anything. My filter, https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/itg-maxogen-airfilter-70mm-itg-jc60-70 I have messaged dave too, see what he says, thanks guys
I thought it was this one tim? Thanks btw fellow cs'er https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/itg-maxogen-airfilter-73mm-itg-jc60-73
The one you've got is same as the proper ITG induction kit. It'll seal up fine with jubilee tightened. I know because I got a jc60-73 as a spare and it's a bit of squeeze getting it on compared to the original.
That sound like great news, thanks. So all i need is the rest of the bits in the origional thread then? The turbo hose i would have to cut down a bit to make it fit, or buy a silicone one and still have to shorten it?
Yeah an oem hose mate. Not really fussed about looks tbh, aslong as it works thats cool. In the origional thread it says to get the 90 degree 76-63 bend, but then in the post below theres a link to a 76-67 one. Apologies if these are daft questions, i have serious brain freeze with this sort of stuff lol
All being well i will be doing this tomo or thursday subject to parts turning up. Anyone have a rough idea how much oem hose i need to remove?
Right done it. Had to shorten the oem pipe and the silicone one as it was sitting to low. It feels quicker, picks up better. But it's way quieter than I thought. Anyone with the itg filter agree?
Yeah it's quieter than I thought mate. thr filter I had already so that was handy. the joiner and the 90 degree bend I bought from no other 'mrsilicone' lol. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/160516793157 http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/160604324764 bought a a couple of jubilee clips 70-90mm had to cut down both hoses so it sat better, and also cable ties to hold it up slightly.
And how would one remove the standard hose? I looked but the jubilee clip is a right arse to get too. It would have made fitting the recirc valve miles better if that was out the way
Im finding this way quieter than i thought it would be. Tried to kid myself but no, something doesnt seem right. Low down you can hear the kit and the recirc but on boost and higher it sounds, well normal really. I did a quick search and someone who fitted similar had the same symptoms with no real outcome. Any ideas? Would the filter be too low down touching something? The standard air pipe from the front is in. Up for suggestions chaps
Strange. I have the ktec on my 265 and it's loud. Jamie has the injen one fitted it's like the ktec and there is also a fair rip off his.
Decided to take the sound deadening off underneath the bonnet, it is louder. In low gears you can hear it, still not loud but on the move the car sounds like a jet lol. The way it drives I'm going to stick with it. Goes very well
I give up lol. I replaced the filter with a Jetex one. It's similar to the itg low revs and on the move sounds the same. In going to leave it be now. I may look into a cold feed somehow, have read removing the engine cover will help, maybe with the noise too? But either way in more than happy with how the car drives. Effortless through the gears.
