Scuttle located Induction Kit

[Imperial_16v]

Hi

I've been doing some reading (and watching on YouTube), but can't find out all the information in one place, or one forum, so can anyone help please.

From what I can gather there are two ways to do this mod.

1. Straight from the TB to the scuttle with an IK on the end.
2. V6 airbox (or Renault 21 Turbo) then a scoop in the scuttle.

Is there a difference between the two ways? Any gains to be had between the two methods? The only thing that I can think of is that #1 will be louder than #2. (As the filter is right up against the bulkhead).

So, what parts are needed if we look to do #1 (aka HillPower setup)? Well from what I can gather you need...

1. x2 45º silicone pipes plus clips
2. Straight alloy tubing
3. IK
4. TB adapter
5. Washer bottle from a Vauxhaul Nova

The areas where I am struggling is where do you get the TB adapter from? Secondly, is there a part number for the Nova washer bottle? Or do you just go to Vauxhaul parts and say "I want a washer bottle for a Nova?" And finally, what diameter is the pipe/tubing/silicone hoses?

Final, most important question... just how loud will this be?

Thanks!

I run the v6 airbox and carbon scoop method.

The renault21 box does not work. The angle on the lid us too great.

Airbox is available from renault £56 iirc
Carbon scoop is available via Mcracing in France (bank transfer) was about £90 I think?
Throttle body adaptor I got off here for £25
Silicone hoses from silicone hoses.com

Looks trick as feck too!

Hill power method is far too boomy during regular driving. Mine isnt that noticeable until you give it the beans! Although obviously there is some vibration!

Car makes a solid 180bhp on cams and remap.

Thanks for the reply!

Does the v6 airbox just take a panel filter? Also, sound wise, how does the v6 airbox and scoop compare to just having an open cone direct on the TB (ignoring the HillPower relocating kit)?

I remember that on my old valver it made a lovely noise direct on the TB, in fact, it's the nicest/loudest induction noise I've heard to date.

What is the best way you could describe it for someone that has never heard it before? Any pics?

So my only problem I guess is, the adapter. I'm guessing any engineering place could knock one up quite easily?

Thanks.

Got a kinda warble to it at low revs, sorta scoobish, but not?! Will try to get a video for you.

+1 on the scoobie sort of noise, mines the v6 set up. Brilliant mod. Not sure how ir affects power. But sounds immense.

The v6 setup saves any ducking about with washerbottles etc etc, will try get a vid but need to remember to tax car later today! (doh!)

And wobba 6k's worth of engine us hardly the same thing! Lol
