Which Induction Kit?

[Dangerous]

Christmas is over (than God) and as usuall i am taken all the crap that i got back to the shops for a refund. With the money I want an induction kit. I know Green make one but not sure how much it is and where to get if from. Also I heard about a dragon intake.

Can Anyone shed some light on this for me?

Cheers and a Happy New Year

Yea Green are the only company who make a direct fit one, it fits the Paseo & the Rolla.

I've got one & it's quite nice, good sound (especially with a dual cold air feed) without being to loud like some K&N's.

You'll be able to grab one at most on-line places or motor factors, or go gold & get one then you'll save yourself some of the subscription fee straight away!

As for Dragon I believe this is an import job from the states, but if you can be bothered with it from what I've seen it's quite nice.

Give me a shout if you want some pics of the Green one.

actually, I havn't heared anything about Weapon-R's dragon intakes except that they cost too much. I think everything except for green or whatever is here in the States, so that may not be worth the money. Green, I can't help you on, never heared of it, can I see a pic? I'm sure AEM is a regular thing over there, so if you want to do wome work, you can do what I'm about to and get an intake from a 5th gen ('94-'97) Honda Accord and cut some amount of it off, and reconnect it with and air bypass valve, and you'll have a true CAI without Battery relocation. I actually already have the intake, just need an Air Bypass and a pipe cutter.

went to my local motorworld and the green induction kit is listed for a 1.6 paseo multipoint injection is this the one i need? :bookworm:

[Paseo2nr]

there is no 1.6L Paseo. hmmm. it's probably the one that fits, though. I have the weapon-R Dragon Intake, and It's routed further away from the engine than the green kit, and unless you have a custom air feed like Si, you'll only be getting hot air. Mine gets a good amoung of cool air for being a short ram-air intake. It also makes a fantastic roar. As for it being expensive, I got mine for $120 including shipping in the states, but I am bidding on another one for $20. Imagine how I feel now! :censor:

Hi ya 97Paseo you couldnt post some pics of your induction kit could you please?!?

I'm now waiting to get conformation of going GOLD!!!

Anyone that hasnt gone gold yet, do it its worth it.

Yea thats it, they list it as that for some reason.

I'll post new pics later for you Matt. ;)

[matt_hillyard]

cheers mate,

Has the induction kit made much of a difference to the car? Can you feel it respond better?

Cant wait to see pics.

[97paseo]

Has the induction kit made much of a difference to the car? Can you feel it respond better?

It makes a massive difference to the noise it makes! Sounds sweet now, especially since I set up the second cold air feed & in conjunction with the exhaust, turns heads occasionally. :D

Hard to say if you can notice a difference to responce, you'll use more fuel just through gunning it all the time to hear the noise!

Anyway here's a couple of quick pics:

(Bit of a dodgy patch of something bad by the plug leads, only just noticed that, hope it's nothing to worry about.... )

Close up:

It's looking a bit dirty these days, best clean it at some point...

[jechto]

looks tidy - how much did it set u back ?

im looking for an induction kit atm, im in between the green induction kit, or the dragon r one. Problem is dragon r has to come from the states - and im not a patient person

stupid question i know - but is the green induction kit better than the standard inction system thing on the cynos - cos its quite a hefty thing already

[97paseo]

To be honest it sits too close to the engine to be fantastic, I need to sort that either through a heat sheild or a length of Samco type hosing.

You won't get induction roar with a standard air box unless you drill it, you could fit an ugraded panel filter if you don't want to spend loads, mine was £80 odd through Gold.

[jechto]

drilling the box sounds like a temp. plan lol !

ne idea how much bhp the induction kit adds ? about 5-7 im guessing

[97paseo]

More like 1-2 if you're lucky! The best thing about them is the sound! B)

[matt_hillyard]

That does look awesome and i know the sound your talking bout as my mate has got a 1.8 VTR citroen xsara and hes got a green induction kit on it and with his new back box you can hear it suck!!! :D

I think i might have to get a green when im allowed in gold. You didnt have to relocate the Battery did you? Is it worth me trying to fit the filter near the front beofre i start? Or if i get a heat shield is that just as good with a cold air feed?

[97paseo]

Doing a heat shield will help but it's not vital. Cold air feed is quick & easy to do.

I haven't relocated the Battery just junked all the old air box crud except the original air feed which I've kept as a second feed. The other one goes over the Battery & down behind the headlight, comes out behind the lower grille.

My mates got a K&N on his Rover Coup & that's much louder than my Green kit, I'm happy with it though. :)

[matt_hillyard]

well it is nice to have a loud air feed but k&n dont do one for the paseo do they?

I think it's prob best that the noise comes from the engine and exhaust and just get a hint from the induction kit.

Yeah i thik ill prob do a heat shield of some description and keep the original air feed. thanks for the pics.

[97paseo]

well it is nice to have a loud air feed but k&n dont do one for the paseo do they?

No they don't although you could do a custom one, I find the Green just loud enough really.

[matt_hillyard]

SORTED!!!!

Green air filter it is. Did you fit yours yourself?

Was it a big job? How long did it take?

[97paseo]

Yea it's dead easy, half hour I'd say.

[matt_hillyard]

WOW thats no time at all and will give me a little boost!

Does it affect the MOT or insurance. I know its only a little mod but you know what these MOT and insurance places are like on modded cars!

[97paseo]

It won't affect the MOT but you'd best tell your insurance company. :)

[matt_hillyard]

will do thanks for the help

[abraxys]

Dude,

Jackie, from X-Racing, posted me a MONZA air filter for my seo. Its domed and it takes up ALOT less space in the engine.

Have u tried this yet???
