Q1. Do you have an induction kit fitted?

If so have you had any problems with your car because of it?

 

do not buy a cheap induction kit as it f**** up your car keep to a panel filter or buy a hks induction kit

 

Yes i have an induction kit fitted, no real problems except the maf sensor and the fact that its in the engine bay collecting hot air:s so if i get the chance then i will probably revert back to the air box (or a modified airbox)

Make room for the mushroom!!!!

 

Yes and no problems as it's sheilded (fmic to be fitted).
Best IKs imo are Apexi and K+N,HKS and Blitz seem to be sold on their name rather than quality.
Your best bet is a good panel filter

 

Whats the crack with this chrysler siht. I wouldn't have a chrysler to make a bomb fire.

 

what??

 

Fitted one yesterday (post on here)

K&N 57I - cost £106 - excellent quality, fits with no alterations or hassle no engine management lights issues (as with cheaper flebay kits) sounds fantastic

when filter on it uses the cold air pipes of old airbox so cold air is directed straight onto the filter. Filter in bottom left tucked nr to left wing if standing looking head on to the car so its away from major heat sources anyway. (2006 STI)

 

ive got a hks induction kit and had no problems, do not buy cheap off ebay, you will regret it.

 

I would say dont fit an induction kit. Yes they do sound good with the sucking and wastegate chatter but they make the intake temps quite a bit higher.

I had an apexi one fitted with cold air feed, I fitted an intake temp sensor then went back to the standard filter and found the temps dropped about 10-15 degs on average.

I would suggest your standard box with a good panel filter.

 

I have a cheap one off ebay fitted-cold air induction kit right down to front of bumper- minted.
Andy forrest was impressed with it and has now put the same exact one on his new age 400 bhp spec c- cant be all that bad.
I have ran it 3 years and not once had a problem.
In fact andy says as long as you map for the induction kit you WONT se any problems- big names aint everything

 

agreed (brother in law got cheap one off e -bay looks v similar to my 57I kit) but engine management light on - think may be an issue with MAS.) but as you say with the re-map most filters will be fine. I just went with K&N for my own peace of mind - no point killing a 15K car for the sake of not wanting to fit £100 induction kit

agreed though big names not everything the K&N half the price of the Blitz, HKS etc

 

ive bought a HKS off here cant wait to fit , but havent received it yet

 

 

had a cheap e bay one on mine for a year now. no problems at all. sounds awesome. solved the intake temp problem on the chrome pipe sections by painting them satin black

 

Last night the word "car" was a link to the chrysler web site on all the threads. It's not doing it now, it was a bit strange.

 

Bizzare.

SN recently moved over to bigger & better servers, so prob still having the occasional teething problem

I noticed the other week that at certain times the pages weren't loading; getting "database error - page not loading" style messages...

 

Yep i was getting them as well

 

Ah, good to know it wasn't just my PC/my own ISP that was at fault then.

 

I will be fitting HKS should have no heat probs, as it fits in the wing.

 

Any departure from the std induction set-up can "mess" up your car.
The MAF signal response needs recalibrating with a remap to avoid such problems.

My £18 Ebay wing mount job is still working fine and dandy. Both the intake tubing, MAF mount and filter are of a surprisingly good quality and I suspect that it is also supplied to big name, who slap on their logo and add another 1000% to the price.
