Breather modd.....Procomp induction kit!......Worth it or not?...

29th June 2011, 00:41

Looking at the procomp induction kit just seeing if they are worth the price?? new(400ish)/ people ask for (200ish) and what are the gain figures like? also if not what others would people recommend bmc cda,raceland,simota ect??

Most recommend standard airbox wiht green/k&n panel filter

Im currently running a standard, is it worth paying £40 odd pound for a panel filter?

29th June 2011, 00:57

Standard air box with a green or k&n panel filter will be adequate. For the extra £, the gains won't be much more

i loved my procomp when I had it.

It made a great noise, gains heck knows never RRd it.

Personally i wouldnt use a BMC seen alot of bad results with them

Thanks mate

did it feel like it made a diffrents? what was the noise sound like? dont tell me its sounds like the k&n ones!

The bmc was the other one i was thinking of but didnt no people had results from it why?

Best bang for buck is prob a raceland with a green filter. Pro comp is massively overpriced IMO but it is rather beautiful. But as said a good cold air feed and a panel filter is up there

It sounded great, Id still run one if I didnt have a standard car and the one on bodies.

I wasnt to worried about it costing a load more as I liked a bit of carbon. Bang for buck its clearly not the best out there but you pay your money and make your choices.

and it sounds nothing like a knN open cone.

Thats good i hat the k&n sound and i am really thinking about getting one beacuse i wanna get somthing that sounds good and would give a good gain? thats why i am thinking procomp

the raceland is plastic.

It works dont knock it, its an almost exact replica of the green enclosed which were prooven to give good gains. but at a fraction of the cost.

yeah it may work but soo many people bitch about it!and if they are proven for good gain are the procomp proven for good gain?

29th June 2011, 01:24

most likely give the same sort of gains as a raceland as its the same sort of design except for the procomp being Real carbon.

for best results get a green panel filter with cold air feed
if you want looks and a decent gain then get a Raceland or Procomp

29th June 2011, 09:22

Ive got the simota enclosed, ie the one raceland based theirs on, and although it is good, if i didnt get it fairly cheap i would have just gone down the uprated panel filter/decent cold air feed route to be honest.

Some people compare the sound of a procomp to throttle bodies, thats how loud and how much it roars. Its carbon so shields the filter from heat, where as the raceland ispastic.

Raceland with green filter £100, or procomp for £200. Id have the pro comp any day.

just the fitting ideas are shit. attach it to the slampanel, engine moves, panel doesn't. you guess the rest.

mines currently cabletied and strung to the engine hoist hook

I had a raceland and it was crap, currently running no air filter and its loads better without! TB's dont normally run filters either, risky I know just deciding what to get next.

doesn't make any difference. you'll end up sucking up something awful into the engine when you least expect it (probably when you're sat behind a truck)

Thats like saying "I dont wear my seatbelt because I only use the car 4 times a month" could happen at anytime,5mins into the journey!
