induction question

[lee7421]

ok so at the moment i have a completly standard airbox with all standard piping etc. jus wondering what is best power wise as an upgrade? dont really care about what sounds best. i was thinking about just a panel filter in standard airbox. does anyone know more about this than me? thanks guys! :oops::y:

[scholesyy]

forced air induction such as a pipercross viper or a bmc are best imo

[lee7421]

i read somewhere may have been on here that cold air feed to standard box with panel filter perfoms well? is this true?

[lee7421]

any opinions?

[scholesyy]

thats the cheapest way to improve airflow but i wudnt say it was the best.

[lee7421]

so i would be better off in the long run buying a proper forced induction kit? is the pro comp 1 much cop?

None of those are forced air induction. A turbo or supercharger is forced air induction. You can get ram-air type induction kits (which none of the above are) such as the Raceland and Simota induction kits.

A panel filter in the standard airbox works very well. You can also do away with any excess piping/chambers and simply run a piece of silicone or plastic pipe from your airbox to the scoop on the scuttle panel.

This isn't forced tbh. Forced inducton is S/C or Turbo although i do rate the pipercross viper. :y:

enclosed induction kits
they sell them on kamracing.com

i got a green cotton panel filter, and took off resonator box and filled hole... breathes a lot better and runs cooler slightly ... you kinda notice it more when going faster,, feels slightly more responsive ...

cool thanks for all the help guys :)

on my vtr iv got a raceland green induction kit with carbo intake wich is good imo

[scholesyy]

personally i think these are wank. i just removed one of these from my vts and fitted a viper instead. the filter on them is tiny and i dont think the carbon intake has very good access for air where it sits so close to the rad / panel

It's plastic with a 'carbon look' not actual carbon.

Standard Raceland filter for the enclosed kit is quite small, just get a larger Green cotton one for it. The Raceland intake draws cold air from the same place where the standard intake was on the slam pannel.
