Re: induction kits - vlj - 20-09-2012
There's little point as unless you can drag in more air you will be limited to how much passes through.
RE: induction kits - CJ_Derv - 20-09-2012
De-filter
RE: induction kits - Curt - 20-09-2012
Look at the section CJ...
Just go for a normal size cone, it's not really going to make any difference apart from more noise and possibly more heat soak.

Curt, your PH1 is beautiful mate! where did you get those wheels from?
RE: induction kits - Curt - 20-09-2012
Cheers dude
I got them off of fleaBay for what I consider a bargain... But they're TD Pro Race 3's. More piccies etc in my project thread
RE: induction kits - puglove - 20-09-2012
Dont even bother mate. If its that big where ever you fit it you will just suffer masivly from heat soak. Then you will just use more fuel and get less power.
RE: induction kits - smokey - 20-09-2012
Ok ill just get a normal size one shall i cold feed to drop the temp??
RE: induction kits - Curt - 20-09-2012
If you're worried about heat soak you're better off getting an enclosed filter

Id recomend a K&N one that goes in your standard air box. (panel filter) they are brilliant and iv always ran them. With a noticable improvment

Yeah
RE: induction kits - puglove - 28-09-2012
In your engine bay should be a green plug / a blue plug and a brown plug to the left hand side of the head (near the battery) if you unplug the brown one the fans will kick in (if they are not totaly f*cked) try it see if it works,
This can be used as a short term fix if you get cought in traffic and you temp gets to dangerous levels

There f*cked they were both jammed but asking as its moving its ok
RE: induction kits - Dum-Dum - 29-09-2012
Im running an ebay enclosed one mounted where the original filter would of been and its about the best option without spending out on a BMC or Viper. The noise is epic as the entrance is so close to the road but i cant drive through fords or deep puddles.
RE: induction kits - C.A.R. - 29-09-2012
Tbh unless you do a lot of high-traffic driving where you are travelling very slowly then heatsoak is no where near as bigger problem on a 1.8 306 mate. The performance gains are debatable so with that in mind you may as well go for the best sound. I've had a couple of 1.8 306s and various induction kits-
K&N 57i cone
Powertec metal cone
Pipercross foam cone
Powertec one was chuffing expensive (£125 from memory) and didn't sound as good as the foam Pipercross induction cone filter which I got 2nd hand for £20! I would recommend them highly. I still think the K&N was the best made quality wise but pipercross definitely sounded the best.
RE: induction kits - Niall - 30-09-2012
K&n has to be the best sound I reckon! Loud but sound properly epic about 4k!!
RE: induction kits - smokey - 30-09-2012
Its got a k&n panel filter but im running with no fans at the minute so it gets verywarm in traffic
RE: induction kits - Niall - 30-09-2012
k&n cone sounds completely different to a panel

The rainwater on the lens at about 1.35ish made me think your tyre was shredding as you came off the roundabout!
RE: induction kits - Grant - 01-10-2012
As car says, heatsoak wasn't an issue until i fitted the gti inlet mani. That coupled with a k&n57i above a toasty gearbox creates some lovely heatsoak exiting slow corners. I need to sit a cold air feed/hot air feed off somewhere...
