bmc vs green

[rich]

which induction kit is best to have,i cant make up my mind every one kepts saying different things

[Enbwo]

K&N are the daddies. Cant go wrong with them. But since you are comparing BMC & green filters i would go with BMC

[saxostu]

BMC mate!! smileys/smiley2.gif

Do induction kits affect fuel consumption, increase the amount consumed or decrease? Or is it just the power difference that is noticable?

[Enbwo]

may reduce fuel economy as more air means more fuel being used. But i doubt it would be noticeable.

[Smithy2003]

To the shops for K&N 57i it is then:)

[richsVTR]

dont get a k&n 57i!!! i had one and it was crap!! no power at all just got worse when it was a hot day! i sold mine not long after im getting a green enclosed kit now! smileys/smiley14.gif

[Smithy2003]

What was that on tho?
surely on a small 1.1 i'll notice some difference.
It's given my mates Pug extra va va voom.

Any sites for induction kits that'll fit a 1.1?
www.prosport.uk.com is where i found the 57i, but for green it only mentions fords, everything else it VTR/VTS 1.6etc

[richsVTR]

it was on my vtr m8, it wont any difference wether its a 1.1 or vtr/vts because its aopen air filter it just sucks hot air in from the manifold!

[Smithy2003]

Ok cheers.
Learning something everyday :)
I'll keep hunting.

noise is the only difference....if you heat shield it properly, it will provide you with extra power....also, if you run the air inlet down to the front of the car it will be better....

But i have to agree with the above post....green induction closed is best for power....

The green induction kit won't do any better than the K&N. It is all about directing the cold air to the filter. Have it sticking out the wing or something!

[Smithy2003]

LOL. Green won't fit anyhow so i#m told. It's got to be a K&N if i fit one.

i think richsvtr was talkin about about green enclosed induction kit which house the filter near the front protected from engine heat and lots of lovely cold air being forced in from the grille, Smithy if you go to your local halfords with throttle body opening sizes etc. they can order you a universal viper which will give you the power and noise we all crave!!

[richsVTR]

yes i was m8 green enclosed kit not the normal green induction kit !!!

[Smithy2003]

Yeah, i'd seen that.
Still, the only thing that will fit 1.1 in 57i, and i keep getting told that by manufacturers and retailers that know what i'm on about.

[richsVTR]

tbh m8 it wont make any difference to ur car at all pos worse! i had one and got ridd because it was crap basicly!! i wouldnt waste ur money if i were u on it, get something more usefull like a zorst!!

basicle dont get a k&n there just hype and have not really kept up with the moddern day filters as in enclosed! im sure u could adapt a bmc to fit onto ur inlet housing!

[saxovtrjamii]

im in same boat, need a good enlcosed filter, has anyone got a bmc here or a green or a pro comp, they are the 3 to choose from
