Ive just fitted a pipercross induction hope to my xr2i 16v in the hope i would get a nice roar after but it doesnt at all i cant hear it sucking it in any air so i was wondering if i hadent fitted it right


The only thing i could think about that i havent done right was there was some breather pipe that it said to connect to it but i wasnt sure what that was, could this make it so it doesnt roar as much?.

my mates got one on his 106 xsi and its well loud


Cheers, Nick

I fitted a escort GTi one to my 1.8 zetec.

It made a very slight roar - well more of a Mmmmrrrr at about 6,000 rpm.

Just dont think they suit the zetecs.

cheers

ah well looks like i will just have to buy a full system then

[Fiestasi-Andy]

mine sounds well, nice roar & sucking sound

[Nick 2i]

andy- did you connect the breather pipe to it??

Nick if you haven't connected the breather pipe what is it connected to in your engine bay now? Don't let it stay un-filtered, either fix it to the air filter or buy a seperate breather filter for it, you don't want bits of dirt getting in your engine, that WILL make some funny noises

The breather shouldn't make any difference to the noise, its simply allowing the rise and fall of pressure in the engine to escape and stops the head bolts flying out.

Zetecs don't seem to react hugely to more air flow, probably cos on standard management (even with a superchip obviously in your case) they're designed to be economical and won't dump in loads more fuel like a CVH would. My K&N made a noticeable difference in engine tone but it wasn't a sudden roar or anything, on idle it sounds exactly the same.

Have you fitted a ducting pipe to feed air to the filter? That should help get more air to it, take it from the bottom of the engine bay in front of the gearbox

when its idle'n at say 900rpm punch the acel pedal with ur foot real quick right in and out, u should hear it suck then mate if not throw your engine away and get summink ellse... like um a cossie engine that should do it

andy- did you connect the breather pipe to it??

yes, the one which ocme out of the rocker cover

[Nick 2i]

Mark - yeah its not getting unfiltered air, i have fitted it on the end of the hose that comes out of the throttle body. I havent fitted ducting pipe to it that will be the next jobie cheers mate.

16v_si - i wish

Andy - Yeah cheers, thats what ive done as well but it still doesnt seem to roar
