Question on induction kits

Got my 2010 hatch sti in for turbo back decat exhaust next month then I'm going to get an induction kit/panel filter before It gets remapped. What induction kit would people advise on getting please? How hard are they to fit? Thanks

 

Perrin or

AEG I think they're called.

 

Hi salsa thanks for the reply, I've just had a quick look on the net and couldn't find anything, where would I be able to get myself one? What do you think about the k&n typhoon? Seems a bit pricey but any good?

Reported gains of upto 17hp which I find hard to believe!

 

depending on what power output you are looking for, I hear the standard air-box is good for 400, fit a decent panel filter that will help and save you money

 

Yea I have read that also about the standard air box. I might do that to be honest because the inductions kits are pricey. What decent panel filter would you recommend? K&N? Yea I won't be anywhere near 400hp anytime soon unless I win the lottery!

 

Fitted a Cosworth PF to mine, they retail about £35 but maybe cheaper...Others posters may have different opinions....

 

Go with a cosworth, being a dry filter you have no issues with oil affecting the MAF.

 

yeah i agree on dry filter.

i use the HKS Super Hybrid but thats just personal choice as it was the first filter i bought on my first scoob years back so just stick with them, plus they fit easy as they come in a plastic cartridge

 

ok thanks looks like the dry pf has the vote. is there anyway of getting that induction noise still with just changing the pf? I've read something about removing the snorkus whatever that is?

Also am i ok to fit the pf when i get it or is it something i should fit just before the remap?

thanks again

 

I had a K&N panel filter (About £35) in mine until I came across a decent deal on an AEM induction kit (About £220 I think). Hard to tell the exact difference as I fitted a ProDrive decat and had it remapped at the same time, though it will make more of a difference the more mods you do.

 

I've got the Mishimoto kit on mine, can be had for about 180 on eBay.

As with Bulldog, mine was fitted at the same time as a load of mods (and engine rebuild in my case) so it's hard to know how much difference it made on its own.

 

If you're going turbo back it might be worth noting that Andy Forrest recommends a CAI on the hatch at that mod level (but not on earlier models as the air boxes are different)

think I'm going to just get a cosworth pf for the time being, not planning on going for big power at the minute so a pf will do the job. cheers for that fatboy, good read, mines a 2010 so won't need a CAI according to that andy forrest link.

 

No need for a remap if just fitting a new pf.

Yes you can take the white plastic section from the air box that sits behind the bumper under the drivers side headlight.

 

if a suspicion that the document only references 2008-2009 as thats the time it was originally written but not updated, hatches all use the same intake. Might be worth asking him outta curiosity

 

Thanks abx, after ringing round half of the U.K trying to get a cosworth panel filter turns out everyone including rogerclark are waiting for them to come into stock and have being for a while. I can't get in touch with andy Forrest at the minute, couple of places recommended the Perrin induction kit but again pricey and not sure it would be worth forking out for possibly no difference in performance to pf. Will wait on the cosworth for a while if not will go with K&N. Thanks for all the advice

 

did you try sumo for the filter?

no i didn't check sumo, didn't know about it..... as I'm looking at a big flashing ad in front of me i did manage to get one from demon tweeks in the end cheers.

 

This is what I bought and from the place I bought it, pretty good value http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FREE-SHIPP...EAAOSwBahVdwyq

 

i will bear that in mind mate, see how i get on with the pf and stage 1 for a while. give it tlll january i will be wanting more power.

 

Always! I've had 370/410 since August and I'm already thinking about a new turbo and injectors next year.....

 

If you aren't in any hurry I would just keep an eye out. It's always cheaper to buy something when you don't actually need it and you can afford to wait. I got a brand new (still in the plastic wrap) Mishimoto CAI on here for 100 quid because the owner had a change of plans.

 

yea thats the usual case, loads of deals when you are skint or not after something. which part of the site do people sell stuff on? that market place just for members?

 

Hi all here's mine old and new . 335bhp wrx and 330s only had the hatch a year still treading carefully . Not cause of the chocolate pistons it goes sideways a little easier than the classic 😈 love them both , already done a few mods will update pictures if this works ' love this picture

 

Little pic from Oulton Park today! It was very wet but still great fun.

 

A few tweaks mate and it will handle as good if not better than your classic!

 

anyone bought this SATNAT DVD.. http://www.satnavdvd.co.uk/2015-suba...disc-346-p.asp

£25!!! worth a punt?

 

Yes I bought one. I got mine for 19.99 as the listing accepted offers. It works a treat can't fault it for 20 quid.

 

does the map look different on the screen to the OE map,

how upto date is it on the roads. as where I am a few new roads have gone in over the last few years that appear to make my car be driving over fields lol
