halfords power

[beezasport]

I have just been to halfords and bought a ripspeed mushroom shaped induction kit for my friends car..before we fitted it we tried it on my 1.8t with a split-r....WOW what a difference it makes its gives a real throaty growl and a big dump. that is on a non re-mapped car!! for 29.99 you cant go wrong really!! what do you all think?

 

[Nutkin]

£330 for induction !!!!

 

[beezasport]

oops!!!! 29.99!! sorry! il edit that!

Its bound to suffer from heat soak as there won't be any sort of heat shield or cold air intake. what sort of car does your friend have.

 

[beezasport]

ibiza 1.8 20vt...he is going to fabricate a heat shield and sort some ducting to it.. i dont think the heat shield will be enough personaly

You know they don't actually do much filtering?

 

[beezasport]

didnt lok to be a bad one...he's got a filter sock on it too..

You want to be spending money on your induction rather than saveing mate, cloging your engine will cost you a lot more in the long run. I'd stay well clear of anything halfrauds.

 

[RobM]

Was it a branded one? Or a no-name filter? I'd say the filtration of cheap filters will be far from great but the flow will be very good... but if you then put a filter sock over it you'll find that swaps; great filtration, not so great flow.

bezza have you sent your money for rear strur??

 

[DamoR]

Replace with a BMC CDA you can't go wrong with one! Yes they cost more but there are a few for sale on here at cutdown price. They look great, sound great and actually improve performance...!
