Induction Kit-Benefits? Whats the best
#1
Thinking of fitting an induction Kit to my Scoob.
Heard one on an Sti last night and It sounded pretty good.
I was thinking of a Blitz one? Any body got experience with these...Easy to fit e.t.c.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Blitz seem to be overpriced for what they are, unless you go for aesthetic appearance.
A Group N impreza preparer I know looked at a variety of ind. kits for their cars. They used to use K&N (same performance as Blitz but half the price) but they have now moved over to Pipercross kits, and claim more than double the benefit. I have one fitted to my car (UK MY99) and can certainly vouch for it!! They claim a 10-15 BHP increase, I got 12 BHP increase, not allowing for variations in Rolling Roads figures. (1st run colder air temp - Nov, 2nd run warmer - April)
Hope that helps!

The pipercross is a good bit of kit...but be warey of quoting BHP increases.
An air filter is not good for 15 bhp (unless you are very lucky). Fit one for asthetically pleasing looks and a nice sound...and if you get a power increase then thats even better.
Check out the scoobynet dyno site at dyno.scoobynet.co.uk
MY UK car only gained 10 BHP and no torque increase...and this with an induction kit (pipercross) and a full straight thru exhaust system (Scoobysport...no cats).
These figures were recorded at Powerstation...and to the best of my knowledge are reasonably accurate...unlike some of the rolling roads in the UK.

The piper cross kit is £85
You can get it from Demon Tweaks or somewhere like Roadrunner
Fitting is quite straight forward but I'm sure some of the guys on here will give you some help/advice if you require it.

I have a custom air intake pipe, using an "off the shelf" K&N cone filter. Out of curiousity, I tried a cone filter that had been lent to me.
On the PTS RR, my cars figures were really down, and my CO had risen to over 10%. Realising that the "sample" filter must be causing the problems, I switched back to the K&N. RE run, got an extra 30BHP, and CO back to 6.5/7% !!!!!!!!.
Now this is based on my specific car/setup, but filters can make a difference.

The pipercross kits are avalible from Falkland Performance in Scotland for about £60ish with SIDC discount
The fitting is easy, if you know one end of a spanner from the other it should cause no problems. Just read the instructions and be mathodical
