welcome to the site.

I have the answer to your air filter question. I have a K&N Panel filter which i have up for sale at £20 delivered. You still get the noise but without the fuel or emissions concequences. I found it made an apt difference to the Std filter, and without the hassle of making a 57i kit fit properly.

With the bonnet...you will be very lucky to come across one but patience counts...and one will come up eventually.

u2u me with any questions...i hope you find the answers uou need within the site!

thanks man but sorry nah im looking prob more for a induction kit with the tradional sorta muchroom shape filter im sure you know what il mean lol, i seen one of those double adaptors was thinking of putting two airfilters on it was wondering how that wiuld work recon that would drink my petrol like would pro get a decent amount of bhp outa it i would think .

[dancotton2003]

the only reason i can think that mine did is because i loved the growl so kept my foot planted otherwise no i cant think of any diffrence

[iainbig]

lol cheers mate sounds nice you got a picture of it i put my bigbore 2 exhaust on the car today looks ausome a peco race one only 3inch tip wanted to ge the car looking sudle but mean at the same time put a new performace airfilter in it aswell sounds sweet like, not sure weather are not to change it anyone no the best airfilters you could get? next for the car is to get some sweet alloys for it hopefully somone has some for sale like are il have to buy new , maybe tint the windows and get my orange 6x9s in like

i wouldnt advise getting an adaptor so you can have two air filters, like you said it will drink the petrol.
one of the things an air induction kit does is make your engine suck harder, this isnt always a good thing, gettin ONE is ok, coz
1 they sound good
2 they make your engine work harder therefore it will go that little bit faster

get two air filters on a low cc engine and you'll probably just suffocate it and sufer from stallin all the time unless you mod it so there is more power anyway,
my suggestion would be to get a turbo if your sxi hasnt already and an intercooler just to be safe, coz chances are if the two inducion kit idea you have, works, your engine is gonna be very hot.



ps welcome, and what year is the reg on your sxi your gettin ?

[iainbig]

already got it mate its late 2000 very good nic and thanks im loving the fourm, wat would a turbo charger help my corsa do and were could i pick up one of these gadets thanks mate il get pics of my corsa up asap

[kriskat08]

depends where ur from, if you tell me ill find out where to get one cheap including fitting,
a turbo charger basically works on the pricipal the hegher the revs your engine is gettin the more air it pulls in,
when ur in a low rpm range a turbo wont do sweet FA, but when the revs are high and you got your foot to the floor at the right time it will kick in and start sucking in alot more air burning your petrol quicker and therefore creating whats known in the trade as a BOOST.
you get a turbo fitted and add 1 induction kit you got the recipe for a sweet soundin ride.
wit regards to the intercooler. as far as i know they go on yor turbo before your induction kit, thier purpose is to take the cold air you engine needs from outside rather than take it from the engine bay, whihh is generaally hot once you been driving for a while.
if your engine is sucking in cold air and doing so quickly and you have a good air to fuel ratio you can slightly increase your economy in some cases and always get a noticable power difference in the high gears and revs.

but always seek advice rom a mechanic or some-one experienced, what i have told you is just what i knowfrom research its always better to get a proper opinion 1st

wrong.
the inter cooler is there so that when the hot air from ur engine is sucked in, the intercooler which is usually outside the car cools the air so that ur turbo sucks in cooler air... this then alllows the turbo to suck in air which is extremely undence. this then creates a bigger explosion in your engine and you get lots more power!!

also if ur getting a turbo u need to change the engines internals and make them stronger which costs lots of $$$

[kriskat08]

well iwas almost write right
thanks for correcting me

[kriskat08]

you basically just rephrased what i said but in a more sensible way
but ill ake that advice into account
cheers

u no what if u want a f**k load of bhp get your car to a garage and get it super tuned you can probs get it to 140 - 150 bhp




im getting my gsi ASAP ahah woop (sorry still cant wait)

and then i am going to get it rebuilt and get as much brake out of it as i can

then worry about getting my car able to handel it
