Power Gain ??

[Matt_vts_tdi]

What sorta gains would i get from putting an induction kit on it on my vts?
At the moment it only has a straight thru stainless exhaust with a de-cat.

Also whats the best induction kit too buy? Or do they all give out the same gains?

as above the gains arnt that noticable mate ,
you may think you are going faster because of the sound but the gain is barely noticeable,
id just stik with the standord air box and an uprated panel filter ,

but if you seriously want one id recomend a cda enclosed or a procomp if you can get hold of one.

do a search mate thers LOADS of threads on induction thatl help you out

[Matt_vts_tdi]

Ok, will prob get a kit just for the noise then. and the extra if any bhp is a bonus.

Any pref's on kit to get?

[Matt_vts_tdi]

So these induction kit's are just for show really!

i'll have a search through the forum's cheers fella's.

[banke]

not realy mate you get what you pay for realy, they range from knN(£50ish)
all the way upto the itg maxogen kit for around 260 , ,

pipercross viper are a good kit for a vts

[JamesR]

Just go for a Simota mate, cheap, enclosed, looks good :)

Kam Racing sell them for £80 with a Green filter i think :y:

Probs get nothing in the way of power, plenty in the way of noise!

A good induction kit will add a few bhp in most cases, aswell as making it rev more freely.

[samus]

just get a cheap one tbh.......best value for power......TURBO

Wrong. Engine conversion :)

Yeah some good ones might allow the engine to rev more freely, however they're never as good as the OE airbox design.

Have you seen a saxo airbox? I am sure a Simota is of a better design.

OE air boxes 90% of the time can be improved on.

engin conversion? i dont think so he already has a VTS whats he gonna put in? VTEC? Looooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!! £££££

Judging by the guys name, he has a VTS. On the OE VTS airbox, remove the 'intestine' stuff and replace it with some decent silicone hosing and away you go!

[Matt_vts_tdi]

I dont see the point of an engine conversion with the saxo's IMO as the diff in vtr/vts isnt a great amount.....At the min my bro's converting his focus rs(330bhp) to a sierra cossie 4x4 once complete will be looking at around 500 - 550 bhp.

As for the saxo i might just stick a KnN panel filter on with a cold air feed!
Or maybe a Stick my bro's FRS engine init ;)


Cheers for the help.

You dont see the point in 20 or 30bhp more? Twice as many valves? Twin cam engine?

Because i do tbh and for the sake of around £500, its the cheapest form of increasing your BHP.

I agree....

[Matt_vts_tdi]

Sell the vtr buy a vts if you want the extra 20 - 30 there basically the same price near enough, unless you were only doing it to defraud insurance companies which is fine until you have a crash then basically your fooked. But each to there own.

[gouldy87]

pretty much nothing tbh, allthough i would recommend a filter that helps against heat soak

as that will bog your car down alot
