i am fitting an after burner raptor and doing a remap also :)

A decent panel filter, will save you a fortune and not suck hot air in from the engine bay.

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 08:39 AM

il just do that then... lol

RCM all day long for me,

TypeR99 21 April 2015 10:48 AM

panel filter is fine up to 400bhp. Induction kits are only for high power cars or people obsessed with induction noise.

Are you going to ask everyone what the best dump valve is next?

DOING a remap and HAVING a remap are 2 completely different things. Are you doing it yourself or got it booked somewhere?

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 10:57 AM

im getting an ecutek map done at scooby clinic
yes I am obsessed with induction noise lol

nah im not a fan of dump valves tbh - but hearing the turbo spool up is a part of the enjoyment of driving a scooby

TypeR99 21 April 2015 11:12 AM

I'm sure the clinic will look after you, any your wallet lol

You might want to shop around for remap prices 1st as i'm guessing you wont get any change out of £700 up there.

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 11:18 AM

well it already has a ecutek map on it at 330bhp so they quoted me £200+VAT for a calibration map.
I am only having it mapped again so that it is calibrated for the new exhaust system and new induction kit (currently as a HKS induction mushroom tip that the previous owner had the car mapped with on) I heard those are bol**x so reason for the change. I hear you re panel filters but it sounds like a micra with no induction lol

I suppose if you're getting dyno time & before and after graphs £200+ is not that bad a price to be honest. Maybe worth confirming with them that it's only a filter change and decat and see if they can do it a little cheaper.

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 11:39 AM

yes its full dyno and before and after graphs
thanks every1

TypeR99 21 April 2015 12:32 PM

£200+ vat for a tweek + dyno time is a fair price, good call on that.

Induction wise, as people have said the RCM kit (rebranded K&N) is good, also the APS kit is quality.

If the car is standard apart from that i'd also get a 3 port boost solenoid put on while you're there.

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 12:35 PM

what is a 3 port solenoid - I have got no idea what it is lol

what does it do and how much would it cost?

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 12:43 PM

also is there any particular one i should get or from a particular place
prices seem all over the place

TypeR99 21 April 2015 12:45 PM

you will currently have a 2 port on, which has a t-piece in it where it connects to the turbo.

A 3 port has individual feeds and can handle more boost, so is a nice addition pre-map. Expect to pay around £75 fitted for a decent branded one.

Google them or do a search on here, plent of info if you look around

forgedmarco 21 April 2015 01:51 PM

Scoobyclinic do a lovely perrin short ram intake, also look for a classic 3 port only about £40 and very good quality.

b3nmw 21 April 2015 02:04 PM

Perrin do a 3 port solenoid got mine from scoobyclinic as well

Sheffielder 21 April 2015 02:21 PM

wouldnt the K&n be better seen as it has a heat cover shied thingey lol

I really cant understand how this is different to the HKS one

they are both simple metal pipes with an air filter strapped to the top

how do they really differ?

Cosworth Panel Filter and blank the DV for mapping ;)

imprezagaz 23 April 2015 08:02 AM

Perrin induction kits are good. Have one on mine and love it. They sell them at Scoobyclinic

Sheffielder 23 April 2015 08:19 AM
