Induction Kit Help

Here\'s the single bay..needs a BOV and a polish!!

[Rich Cheung]

Pete - If you don\'t mind me asking roughly how much did it cost to go single and did all go smoothly ?
What sort of figures are you running now ?

Rich

[PETE SMITH]

Hi Rich,
It\'s difficult to quote an exact figure as going single involves quite a few other bits n bobs as alterations.
The actual GT35R turbo kit-approx £2500 + labour
Then sundries that can occur at the same time or after fitting:
Upgraded plugs/leads, turbo beanie, exhaust wrap, boost controller, upgraded clutch as more power may make the current one slip!!

My last Dyno was around 380/390 fwhp ie the usual quoted output of a car--Though i\'ve had it ported since-just street mind as regularly driven!

Problems since single
-a few oil leaks-sorted
-warped flange between comp and downpipe-sorted with V-band
-knocking pipe under footwell-to be sorted with engine brace.

Nothing major-i expect niggly problems when you make changes!

Once a single\'s in your thoughts, you\'re gonna succumb to it in the end...unless you sell your Rexy!
Pete:)

Cheers Pete Thanks for the info.
For the moment I\'m quiet happy with the twins as their putting out some decent power. If I do get the single bug big style I\'d probably look to sell and buy one thats already done.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to drag this one back up (thought it better than start a fresh one )

I have the same kit and also seem to have a cow under the bonnet!  I have fitted the bung into the pipe right next to the air pump (not the air pump pipe itself!)



 :xconfused Cheers, Ricco

I\'ve fitted an Apexi kit last week and also have some bovine-based noises.

Am I right in thinking that the air-pump pipe can be disconnected from the filter and the filter capped/blocked to remove this noise? Is there any problems with doing this?

Cheers, Chris

[Ricco_04]

Not sure if this helps you but I have my airpump still plummed in with the feed to the filters cause I still have both of my cats in place.

[rotis23]

Yeah - I also still have both cats. I was talking about disconnecting the air pipe to the filter (rom the air-pump) to stop the mooing - not sure if that\'s the preferred solution.

[Ricco_04]

Ah, ok I see - I wasn\'t even sure what was causing it!  I thought i may have the metal insert in the wrong pipe!

Mmmmm, so there is nothing we can do about the noise then?  :confused:

[PETE SMITH]

If i remember correctly, there were 2 bungs..that is metal cylinders with central holes....that needed correct pipe insertion..please don\'t ask me which pipes they went in at this time of night!!
I\'m sure i posted a very old thread on this..i guess it needs a search by someone!

My Mooing Stopped, But Then So Has The Air Pump.

What are these metal inserts then? Do you have a photot Ricco? Did it/they come with the kit?

Is the other option disconnecting the air-pump to the cat?

[Ricco_04]

I had just the 1 metal insert/bung which is made of aluminium with a small hole through it (i guess its just like a restrictor.)

I have the newer version of the kit - 2 aliminium hardpipe\'s,  the 2 cones, 2 gaskets (where the filters couple up to the hardpipe\'s couples) 2 brackets to mount the filters to the car and all bolts, washers and nuts.

I have put the metal insert into the pipe next to the air-pump (im not sure if this is correct?)  On the picture you have the filler cap then the air pump pipe and then the next pipe is the one whereI have put the bung.  Here is the pic again just in case :



I dont have a photo of the insert but it is a piece of silver aliminium about 2 1/2cm long by 2cm diameter with a small hole through the length.

i like cows, but only when theyre in connection to steak  :flamed , NOT when theyre in my bay! i have the same problem with my Blitz SUS kit!!!! so i basically need to either fabricate something to restrict the increased air intake for the air pump! right, ok, down to flipping Pirtec i guess to see what i can put in-line to cure my madcowness!!!! :Grrr

hi bob, fancy meeting you here!   :wave  so ur air pump just stopped? at a guess, maybe it was getting too much air and gave up the ghost??

did you see in the "meets" section theres a meet in brissle later this month. you up for it???

gonna see about new sparks tomorrow as soon as i figure out what ones i need again!


cheers

[rotis23]

That\'s it! I\'m going to disconnect the air-pump pipe from the filter and blank the filter tube.

Hey Justin, how\'s Bridgy - I grew up in Burtle!
