Need Sum Help Please!

[hadz]

i fitted a universal filter (crap i know) at the weekend but i have positioned it down in the front wing of the car by using a extended pipe! i think that the cone itself is to big coz its such a tight fit in the bumper! i was thinking about ordering a green cotten filter! any good?


Also 2day is the 1st day that i have driven me car to work since fitting the induction kit and it proper seems to be drinking me fuel! did any1 else experience this with there induction kit?

Any help would be great!

hiya mate

if i were you i would take off the "universal filter"

you'd prob get a better sound with the standard filter in a drilled airbox! and you would definately have a quicker car than using a universal filter (which will more than likely be losing you power)

a drilled airbox and a k&n panel filter would be a good choice. and not that pricey for only about 35 notes

i have a piperX open cone kit on mine at the moment but to be honest it doesnt give much more of a better sound than my drilled airbox and sports panel filter setup that i ran before, and its not any quicker

basically... ditch the cheap universal filter... sorry to be blunt but i'm just trying to help

Difference in fuel intake was very little with the dynatwist, but it will change it as more air means more fuel, meaning more power.

Personally, if i couldnt afford a quality piece of kit for the car, then i'd go without. But thats me.

You dont wanna sit the filter in full air flow that low, as it'll be risking water ingress and it'll get a hell of lot of crap. Also, if its over oiled thenit could cause problems with the maf.

yeah i know im going to take the filter bk off at the weekend i think im loosing power if anything! its not so low that it will draw up water! r green cotten filters any good coz i think im going to order 1 of them!

 

[Forbez]

yepp, go for the dynawist one, or the bmc carbon filter. a few people have recently gone for the jabbasport filter.

with the enclosed filter u dont really got much noise tho do u? any u dont get any dump valve noise! i was going to go for the open filter?

 

[Forbez]

Jabbasport is an open filter.

going to fit my viper indution kit at the weekend. its enclosed so does that mean i'll lose my dump vale noise?? think iv read something about poeple losing that noise. i dont have a wooshing one if u know what i mean.

Your also risking damaging your MAf. Take it off now and mod the standard air vbox.

 

[hadz]

how am i risking damaging the MAF? what filter should i get? i want a open cone for the noise factor?

 

[Forbez]

If the filter is heavily oiled, this can ruin the MAF sensor. Thats why KN filters are no good on these cars!

 

[hadz]

its not a oiled filter!

right i need suggestions of what filter to order coz i will need to order it by 2moz to get it by the weekend! i want to replace this 1 as quick as if there is a chance of it doing damage!

 

[acidstrato]

most cone filters are oiled, just to different lengths...even the dynatwist has some form of oil on it i reckon

if i had a second chance...id still get the dynatwist. could go for the hurricane filter if its any cheaper otherwise the dynatwist is spot on jobby

 

[hadz]

but the dynatwist is a enclosed filter is it not? i want an open cone!

 

[acidstrato]

take the case off lol
some people run with the can off for better sound
