anyone got a blitz induction kit fitted as i am thinking of getting one. is it worth buying and does it give much sucking noise. i had a hks induction kit fitted to my p1 and it done in my airflow meter, has anyone had the same problems with the blitz kit.
any replies helpful.
thanks davy b.

 

Davy,

Apparently (I have no first experience of the HKS or Blitz filters) the Blitz filters don't filter too well, due to the holes in the metal mesh being too big.

There have been a few stories of Blitz filters taking out the airflow meters in later cars (MY99/00) Heard of problems with the Pipercross induction kits as well. This is probably why Scoobysport only recommend the ITG panel filter.

The HKS kits can cause problems is not fitted correctly/securely.

The one that seems fine is the K&N 57i which is quite cheap (about £100, rather than £200-odd)

I personally run a Unifilter RamPod Induction kit, and after a year of use and 15,000 miles, all is still fine. (Touchwood!) I do make a habit of cleaning the filter regularly (every 7,500 miles), which I guess helps.

Hope this answers your question in a roundabout way!

Cheers
Andy

 

thanks andy, the k+n 57i sounds good does anyone know where i can buy one.

 

HI GO FOR K+N IVE GOT ONE ITS A BIT NOISY BUT DOES THE JOB WELL . AND ITS THE ONLY SYSTEM I KNOW OUT THERE OFFERING A EXTRA PIPE TO THE FILTER FROM UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AREA . MORE COOL AIR QUICKER RESPONCE THATS WHY I BOUGHT ONE.

 

Been runnning a blitz in my my99 for about 2 years now, I haven't seen any 'visible' traces of dirt yet, and even God himself expressed surprise at how clean it was compared to other blitz's/hks/ etc etc.

thanks guys i think its the k+n for me.

 

I have a 'mint' Blitz filter from an sti5 - you can have it for £90 (i.e half price) and fitting is a doddle.

It looks aa lot nicer than the K&N!
