i need something that will improve me 1.6si's acceleration. Ive had a look at induction kits, and booster valves. Probably will buy one at end of month, not sure wht to get though. How much more petrol will i use with the induction kit. say i put a 10er in,how many miles would i lose? also i want something that will sound nice. been looking at kn and pipercross, anyone had any experiences with these?
also does tht special power boost stuff tht u put in the engine actually work?

cheers Dave

do what i plan to do mate. dont bother touching the 'hunk o junk' and throw in a 2ltr when you can afford to. 130brake + sounds better than a whopping 2/3 brake off a K&N, and its 1/4 of the price of the new engine.

if you had a power boost valve and K&N, there £200 nicker gone! now that half the engine! hmm?

[dave_si]

alrite, cheers for the reply. thing is im only 17 at the mo, anda 2.0ltr how ever much i would love it, just wont be able to afford the insurance.

grrrr bloody insurance

you d be very surprised how much it actually costs to insure a 2.0 Si but yea at 17 it wud be a push but something to consider for the future rather than wasting money. By all means put a an exhuast sytem and ait filter on cause u will notice a slight difference and it will sound a hell of a lot better, just dont expect massive gains.

k, im deffo gonna get an induction kit at end of month. Got any tips on wht to go for? I fancy a nice sounding one, also how much extra petrol u reckon ill be using with it?

i had piper x and it sounded good, i know Jay (XFactor) was showing me some cheap ones the other day which looked quite good they wernt piper x though but were only around 40 quid i think.

and u shudnt see any extra fuel consumption mate

[dave_si]

ok cheers. im now stuck between the kn and the piper x

What do you lot reckon?

[Stoned]

2.0L engine from a Mondeo is only 1 group higher on insurance than the 1.6si group you are in now

So it would cost you very little more.

Keep the standard airbox and put in a K&N panel filter, that way you might actually get better airflow without the power losses associated with drawing in hot air from the engine bay

Just my 2 pence

[dave_si]

K, ive come to the decision im gonna go for the induction just not sure which one. Its gonna be either kn or piper x. at the moment id prob go for the kn. what sort of sounds do the 2 give off?

cheers

In short, not much.

And what Snyx said is very true.
A proper induction kit like Piper X or K&N 57i = no good for cold start
A panel filter on the other hand is still good for cold start, while allowing more air flow.

how does the insurence work when changing engines? do they still go on the group of insurence that car is? i'm 17 but 18 this month and looking to do somthing over the summer. also what extra work is involved in putting a 2.0l into a 1.4 si. what do poeple think of the 1.8? (bear in mind i will be 18)

Insurance depends on which company you are with, apparently. For a 2.0L in an Si, it could be group 9 and it could be group 20. Try HIC insurance first.

Look here for what you need for a transplant

Better to get someone (like MMOgenius) to do it for you if you don't have the tools/time/space/confidence for about 350 to 450 pounds.

About 1.8, why not a 2.0? They would be of the same money anyway...

And what do you mean, you will wear glasses when you're 18?

lol thanks for that mate. sorry i ment diffrences in insurece with a 2l and 1.8 spos the only real way to kno is ring and find out though.

Depends what car you get the 1800 from I guess, RS1800 might be a "bit" pricey (grp 14/15?), escort or mondy 1800 might not...

i got K&N induction kit and magnex cat back system on me Si. can these mods work with a 2.0Ltr engine or will they need to be changed?
