Will this damage my engine?

[LEEROY_UK]

Hi there guys im going to fit a universal induction kit to my 160sr but i need to get the air flow meter out the way as its on the airbox so i thought of buying one of those piggyback thingys of ebay.

Here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-BHP-SUPER-...3QQihZ009QQcategoryZ32094QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But will it damage my engine in any way and do they actually do anything ?


Cheers

not sure about the 20bhp gain but it should fit.

 

[Alienfish360]

Do NOT use it

 

[Zephyr]

isnt that just the same as the resistors...save ur money...prob cause more problems than anything (im sure theres a sticky on the resistors)

I hate people like that, anything to make a bit of spare cash :devil:

 

[wilsonian]

so hang on - it's not a universal filter?

 

[tse_adam]

it might do but it wont do your car any good! save your money.........

Lol they make there product look great by rubbishing off the others, even tho there's is just a pants! Glad you read the thread before fitting it

how can it improve ur MPG if the car thinks its runnin on colder air thus advancing the timing making it put more petrol throo the injectors making them work harder and making ur car run richer - using more fuel! Why kid on ur ECU its only gonna ###### up - those sensors are there for a reason! lol i laugh at the comments on the guys feedback - its their own fault for bein so silly to buy half the ####e he is selling!

You would be much better getting a Nismo or K&N replacement panel filter, for power gains. Running an induction style filter will just give a load of noise and be dragging in heat from the engine bay, so the engine wontt run as well.

Better off, if you want noise, to get a new exhaust can, as that will release some backpressure, maybe giving you a couple of BHP.

want to get one but want to make sure it will fit first - there's no picture/dimensions

I have the K&N version of that fitted to my K11, but i'm not sure if the K12 shares the same panel filter size or not... I'll have to check it out...

It seems it will...

The Nismo one will probably not look too different to that

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

The K12 panel filter is much longer than the K11, so the K11 wont fit.
That is the case on my 160SR anyway.
Not sure about the 1.2 or 1.4 K12.

 

[greg_k12]

I'll measure up and find out!

I think the 1.6 has a different airbox, and probably a few other different things, hence the engine code being HR and not CR

 

[Fordy]

cr engines use k11 airfilters and the hr engine uses the same air filter as the 1.5 dci micra which im sure is the same as the 1.5 dci clios

 

[banksy]

eh up Fordy, you've made this point a few times before. don't think anyone's taken the plunge yet and investigated this Clio DCI airbox ....
