Induction

[revlimiter]

I drive a 93' corsa Sri have a K&N at the moment and im wishing to change! BFO Cone or Drill the Standard air box and put a decent panel filter in it?im assumin the BFO cone would sound way better but for power which would be best?

Pipercross viper if u had the money to spend

 

[revlimiter]

i wish it would be counting pennys for the £70 BFO

 

[Gambit]

things like a piperX viper are a waste of time on 82bhp car

either or of your two options coupled together with cold air feeds will do the same job, you will get minimal bhp increase, maybe 2bhp v.tops. but the car will drive better due to the easier breathing

Try the k&n Gen2.Might be a wise choice!!

moving to surgerrrrrryyyy!

I wouldn't bother drilling the airbox, could get a good bit of dirt in there. I'm with Vtec on this one, i think the gen2 would be a reasonable choice.

explain that one??

you'll get more dirt round an induction kit than in a drilled airbox

in both cases dirt will not enter the intake due to the filter

 

[Sir Sax]

well quite simple Gambit, when dirt gets in the airbox your going to need to take it all apart to clean inside the box and filter etc. More dirt will clog up in the box than the actual filter positioned properly with some protection.

I know which i'd prefer to clean, besides drilling holes is a waste of time.

 

[Sir Sax]

actually you won't

 

[Gambit]

hardly a massive job though, 4 clips and your into your airbox

and all that dirt is just dust/grime (small particals) which wont exactly clog up an airbox - it'll clog up the filter, seeing as that is where the suction is

drilled airbox does the same job as an induction kit with heat shield

again in both cases appropriate cold air ductin is of a benefit

 

[Sir Sax]

everyone will always beg to differ when it comes down to induction. Its a personal thing between you and car, everyones car is different and well my airbox was pretty low to the ground and it was dirt city mate but yours may be different.

rev lad you will know best yourself depending on what you want.
