BMC enclosed??

[Nottz_saxo]

Alright Guys, new to this forum!!!

currenly got a K & N on my saxo VTS, but getting rid heard good reports about the BMC whats ur guys views?? and recommendations??

Cheers,

[alex19]

If your happy with the k&n then keep it!!!

lakin abit a gettin bored try the bmc smileys/smiley2.gif

[citrovts]

all type of enclosed air filters are good (green, procomp, BMC and simota

K&N only suck in hot air so your doing good of buying a enclosed one

[Nottz_saxo]

What would you recommend is the best enclosed 1 value 4 money??? and performance!!

[citrovts]

well GM motorsport now has a offer for premium members

BMC enclosed for 155 pounds and thats a good deal smileys/smiley2.gif

i self has a simota but with a green airfilter in it

[Smithy]

Getting rid of the k&n will be the best thing you could do. I had a pipercross cone on my vts, changed it for a green enclosed. Much, much better. Car is way more responsive and sounds good to. smileys/smiley4.gif Do it!

[Craig]

im wanting a green air filter any views on them? are they good?

[DOGGS]

I've got a K&N, sounds mint but hampers perofance, the real choice is whether to go with green forced or BMC, personally I prefer green over BMC, BMC may give the slight advantage in performance but it sounds like a hair dryer smileys/smiley4.gif

[GSMotorsport]

Yep i think most saxo drivers have had K&N at one point and realized on a saxo these are a useless filter.

BMC, any enclosed or carbon enclosed will perform so so much better.

Email us at Sales@GSMotorsport.com and we should beat any price on the market, and if not, we can match but offer amazing customer service as most Sax_p and SSC members know smileys/happy.gif

Always happy to help

[Craig]

now that looks sweet!!!

[Craig]

oz where abouts did you get that samco hose from and is it a kit or just one piece?
thanks

[Smithy]

The samco hose came from Forge Motorsport in gloucester craig. They do all types of hose: straight pieces, different angled bends, joiners etc. Any place that sells samco hose should be able to supply the individual pieces you need.

[Craig]

hey thanx sjud be able to order some bits from hafords
cheers smileys/smiley4.gif

[oz_borne]

yeah you could do that matey, they do do them, so do motorworld.

think it's a 67mm hose. We had to cut it down at either end to make it fit. Wanted a green one, but couldn't order it in.

[Craig]

is it just a straight pipe? or did u bend it? and how much did it cost roughly?
cheers mate smileys/smiley20.gif

[oz_borne]

cost me 20 wuid and it came bent.

[saxoboyo]

hmm i have the 1.4 engine and was just wondering if the bmc is worth getting for it. what sort of hose or joiners would i need to get or are they suplied, i was also maybe thinking of a ram air from procomp waddaya think.

[GSMotorsport]

Best thing to do..

would be get the BMC and calculate what size hose you need.. go down your local store and match it up

[saxoboyo]

okey dokey will do matey boyo

[mattais]

so what kind of difference performance wise is there between a open and an enclosed induction kit?

also does the BMC really sound that bad?!

[SaxoAL]

an enclosed filter , like the BMC CDA (carbon) sucks in cold air frot the front of the engine, and keeps it cold. Whereas induction kits , like Pipercross suck in hot air as they are behind the engines bulk head. And we all know that cold air is better than hot air!

[northenvts]

i've had a BMC kit in my 2001 VTS for 4 months or more now and the sound is deep but not too loud - more in better tho - loads of mid range torque!!!

[a_hannas]

Is there a BMC enclosed, not the CDA, which looks like the Green enclosed ie with the black plastic part like the Green at the front of the car? Part number if u know?

[Neil_Saxo]

i have just ordered myself a bmc induction kit for ma vtr. will i need to get a pipe for the top of ma engine?

i wanna install it as soon as it comes to the door. been waitin quite a while for it.

cheers

[Scott]

if it comes with the correct fitting kit then you will be able to fit it straight away

[Neil_Saxo]

nice one. should get it through ma door 2mo.

cheers mate

[Dave_J_UK]

I've got a Ram-Air enclosed on my VTS and it doesn't make a sound, it's well quiet, which is not what i want really! are they actually any good? will a green enclosed sound meaty or what? p.s the Ram-Air was on the car when I bought it.

[Neil_Saxo]

got ma bmc through today, and it dont fit. they have sent me the universal kit not the one for ma saxo. kinda annoyed about it.

[Neil_Saxo]

any1 got any sugestions? coz my car is sittin in ma driveway in bits. well no airfilter on it.

[Scott]

all BMC's are universal. Did you order one that was supposed to be for the saxo? If you did i would get on the phone to complain to who you ordered it from

[Neil_Saxo]

yea i did, it says on my order confimation that it is for a saxo vtr. i will phone and complain soon. at uni at the mo.

cheers mate

[SaxoAL]

what doesn't fit about it chap ?

[Neil_Saxo]

im missin the reducer pipe to go between the box and the throttle body.i can fit the front pipe and the box/cylinder but i dont have any way to join it to the engine.

the company i ordered it from said that i am missin bits when i sent them an email detailin wat i had.
should get the new parts through 2mo.

that make any sense?

[SaxoAL]

yeh it does mate. When i bought mine, i had to get a separate silicon hose (90 degree bend) to attach to the throttle body.

[Neil_Saxo]

cool mate. did u order the universal kit?

coz i ordered one to fit ma vtr. so it should have come with right bits. i think.
