Induction Kit Questions

[Jfox]

Hi, this is only my second post so please be gentle on a leon noobie

I have a question about induction kits/air filters

ive searched the forums and not really been able to find what im looking for.

I have a 1.4s Leon and looking into getting a possible induction kit so i want to know some things first

What would you recommend?
Is it easy enough to fit? (not that mechanically minded but gladly give it a go)
Can an induction kit from a 1.6 or bigger fit?

and is there anything else i need to know?

any help would be much appreciated, i came from the saxo ownership so its a little different + i never modded my first car other than putting VTR alloys on it and HID's hahah

Cheers.

Hi, thanks lee, yes i am.

Umm... ill link to a pic off google or something now.

Basically the air intake comes from the left of the engine cover not the right as for the higher specs.

hmm it wont let me post links, need 15 posts -_- lol

You need to see what is under all the plastic what size neck is on the throttle body and go from there.
I like the cold air scoop from the slam panel.

yeah i noticed that different from the other leon specs.

Ok ill get it off maybe sunday, hopefully then the weather will be better (probably not.. bloody welsh weather).

And see if i can see anything from there.

If i search for a 1.4 induction kid, wouldnt it normally be a simple "bolt" on and the neck size be right for it?

 

[Jfox]

and any recommendations on an induction kit?

 

[LEE69]

Not yet depends what is under the plastic, i'm thinking the tb is vertical so that rules out cone filters

 

[Jfox]

Had a quick look on ebay and there are plenty listed for 1.4 engines but like u said i need to get the cover off. Ill take a pic of it when i do.

Not seen anyone on here thats got an induction kit on their 1.4 so not really got an answer as of yet

Hence no replies

 

[Jfox]

Yep lol. Perhaps maybe u cant put a "normal" induction kit on it lol

 

[LEE69]

Quite possibly, I await the pictures
