The K&N on me car is proper filthy so ive decided to rpelace it with one of these babies

22nd March 2005, 03:39

nice mate! how much it cost u?

u not wanting an enclosed air filter?

22nd March 2005, 04:10

£99

Nah im going against the norm on an enclosed air filter, i think the difference in terms of bhp gained between enclosed and non enclosed is neglible.

Just look at your evo's, scoobies, skylines, supras and the rally cars.

THey all run open cone filters.

My current K&N just fits straight on the TB at the back of engine where as with this it brings it back to the fornt of the engine bay for cooler air and i think it looks the business too

22nd March 2005, 04:16

do u get all the hoses n pipes for £99??

22nd March 2005, 04:18

You get everything in that picture mate

Steel piping, silicone hosing, carbon chamber, hose clips and of course the filter itself

Comes to £115 with VAT on top

22nd March 2005, 04:20

22nd March 2005, 05:03

there is a reason why they run open cones, they are turbo cars and as such use an intercooler to cool the air so an enclosed system is completely pointless

Hmm... look at the la-mans 24hr cars, or F1 cars, or FIA GT cars, they use BMC or enclosed filters! Mercs, BMW, Audi, VW etc etc... all use enclosed filters preferably... Colder the air the better. simple! Thats y torbod cars should include an intercooler to cool the air... i went from a pipercross open filter to a bmc & dam the performance is better, throttle responce much improved....

does look sweet, itll look good under the bonnet, good purchase.

I just want to recommend www.dpmotorsport.com

The guys there are brilliant they rang me up this morning to ask what colour my car is.........because its blue they are making the kit up using blue hoses and a blue filter

Very helpful people

nice one matey! ive heard good things about dp motorsport! i thinks thats were simo had the vts turbo'd when he 1st got it done!

23rd March 2005, 19:39

dan: no it wasnt

to my knowledge i dont think DP have ever really done any of simos engine work

23rd March 2005, 20:12

They did do simon leeks VTS turbo tho which ran a 12.88 quarter

23rd March 2005, 20:43

Is the "Carbon Fibre" section actually made from real carbon fibre, i would have expected a much higher price if it is.

25th March 2005, 21:24

i live near dp motorsport and they must be very good at what they do because there always busy and some of the cars that they have on there fore court are well nice!

25th March 2005, 21:47

that doesn't really mean the induction kit will be any good though.

26th March 2005, 05:17

sweet looking is good isnt it.... mildly improving performance! so a compromise of style & performace....

26th March 2005, 05:38

must admit..it looks amazing! for all the performance increase it would give...i would sacrifice it for the looks of that kit!!
