Induction Kit

[micron750]

I'm having trouble finding anyone who stocks an induction kit to fit a renualt laguna 1.8 8v according to the hand book its a monopoint instead of multipont injection this seems to make a differance [why?} so if anyone knows of a link or a stockist i'd be gratefull

Don't bother, it will add 10% of bugger all benefit.

If you just want the noise, drill the airbox before the filter.

I agree don't bother - you'll see no power increase just lots of induction noise

So any idea's to make it a bit quicker? its alteady got a stainless DTM pipe and superchips don't do a superchip for it so it sounds like my options are a bit limited...................bugger

You really can't do much with an N/A engine unless you want to strip it and get it gas flowed and fit things like a more aggressive cam.

indeed.

Build yourself a 16v head, a new injector system and fit a megasquirt? Though that's really hard

Or you could take out everything (I mean all of it) you don't 'need' to drop a few kgs. Also has the benifit of making your car look really hard... Though the suspension may not work as well and need setting up again and it would be a tad loud and uncomfortable in there...

You might be able to get a higher flowing direct replacement filter element from K&N, ITG etc as they seem to be available for most cars.

Won't give you a huge power gain, but at least it'll be easy to fit!

I saw that one last night and at £37 compared to £133 for an induction kit the latters more of a bargin and it won't need changing for at least 100k so i think that's the route i'll take,i only bought the car as it was a complete bargin totally immaculate in met black with only 62 thou on the clock just a pity it was a 1.8L
Oh well can't win em all............many thanks for all the comments

To be honest your in the situation that the car you have will never be quick, and to be honest wouldn't be particularly good at being quick even if you spent a lot of money on it, best to use it for what it is which is a comfy workhorse barge that's relatively economical and save your pennies for a quick fun car. A thousand pounds goes a long way towards a fun car but not very far towards tuning yours.

Yep i've realised that i think i was asking for too much it does not help getting rid of my last motor a 130 bhp xr3i but it had to go due to handling problems bodywork issues which was gonna cost me a fortune to put right and to spend £875 on a mint laguna was just far to tempting ok i know now it'll never be the ultmate car but i'm gonnna put a k&n filter in the airbox and spoiler on the boot and leave at that as the other half was looking at houses last night so spending aload of wedge on a car would not be a good idea and i've always got me bike but that's only for dry days in the summer

Yep thats the best bet, you have the bike for thrills and the car for when it rains!
