View Full Version : Induction change.......
Hello all.
Right I currently have a k&n induction kit fitted to my williams 1.
Its getting a little old so im thinking of replacing it.
So my question is what do I go for, another k&n or something else?
I personally love the k&n as it sounds amazing, like a turbo!
Was thinking of one of the viper kits k-tec sell the blue one. Anyone know what these are like? There more money but look amazing, do they sound and perform as good as the k&n?
Anyway recomendations please guys......
Cheers
Jamie

std or Grp A.
standard airbox with an ITG filter is the easiest solution. If you can be arsed, then as above you can fit a grpA style set-up or likely easier is to relocate the filter to the scuttle area.

whts grp a?! u can have a green cotton filter ;)
standard airbox with ITG filter IMO unless you have a decent ir feed to a K+N filter rigged up.

I'd like to know too! I'm thinking about changing the K&N for something a bit more 'productive'. :lol:
cylindrical airbox as found on 172/21 savanna with a a feed taken from a scoop at the scuttle.
Do a search theres been pics posted by Gibbo in the past.
Or go to wwww.f7power.com and check out the guides on there.

Yeah its all set up so may just purchase a new one to swap over.
What about the pricy viper kits tho guys are they any good?

ive changed from a viper kit back to a standard as the viper doesnt let as much air into the engine due to the shape of the bracket and was loosing me horsepower if i had a standard engine i wouldnt have minded!

Must say, I had a Viper on mine and I took it off. Did not like it at all. Now I run a K&N, stainless steel heatshield and twin cold air feeds. The car is much more responsive and it sounds fantastic. I think the heatshield is helping.
My only suggestion would be perhaps go for a Green filter as they are the biggest open cone on the market, yeah? Get a heatshield as well and see if that's any better. :)

:oops:
As its all set up think ill go for a new k&n filter as well as a de-cat pipe from ktec to complement my powerflow system.

I know it's OT but why does it keep changing the 2's for the word poo? (i try to put in 1 8 2 bhp and it comes out 18poo. grrr
I would just keep the standard airbox and get a decent gauze filter (not k&n as it has oil in it which may clog parts up).

k&n sounds nothing like a turbo, believe me :wink: tbh the turbo sounds a little disappointing compared to a n/a i/k roar! :(
