hillpower scuttle i/k

[bigjim]

has anyone had one of these on their cars or running one just now? whats the opinion on them? is it a worthwhile mod or a waste of money? had the old style hillpower kit on my last williams it sounded great but in the summer you could feel a drop in power due to the heat soak but this new one is meant to work better as away from the engine heat.

[summeh]

i'd do it for the sound alone 8)

[Coops]

can knock one up yourself mate easily enough but definatly a worthy mod yes

[bigjim]

does it really get enough air where its located seems strange

Yeah, something to do with the air pressure from around the windscreen & skuttle panel forces a lot more air into the area and it's colder air as well

[raviedavie]

ok forgive my ignorance ??

[katbloke]

thats the group n airbox, basically a megane airbox with a scuttle air feed

[raviedavie]

thats extortionate !

[cliopete]

If you look at the French ebay site the price of 380 Euro includes all the necessary equipment required to relocate the battery so not that bad really.

[summeh]

im in Kent matey

Oh where abouts mate?

[Coops]

all you need is a couple of silcone 30 degree or so elbows, a length of pipe, throttle body adaptor, a filter and a drill bit to hack through the bulkhead into the scuttle. oh and a replacement washer bottle from the scrappers, anything small will do, i used a nova 1.1 one
