Induction Kit

[reubsta]

Thinking of fitting one to my S1, which one would people recommend - Hurricane? Are they worth it for extra power? can they damage the car? do you drink loads more gas? Can you fit them yourself?

Sorry for all the questions - just protective over my baby!

Hurricane - yes - great VFM and quality
Not for power - yes for noise..a few bhp at most
No damage
No more fuel consumption
Yes you can

i've been wondering about adding one to my 111r too so any comments very welcome. I have a stage2 fitted already (was on the car when i bought it) which i love unless i'm on a motorway... i don't think i need any more noise, but is the small performace boost worthwhile?

I bought a K&N 57i. Much cheaper than a Hurricane. Ok, no power increase but the noise is fantastic. At £60 or so, I thought it was more worthwhile.

not really worth it for BHP alone IMO....you cant feel 2-3bhp from the drivers seat.

If you went from std car to induction/exhaust/sports cat etc and got say 10bhp from all 3 then it does feel a little bit nippier

most of the sensation of speed from fitting these mods is from the noise increase...it sounds like you are going fast so you think you are ...

Try one of these for your S1, At £69.99, they are great value.

Er, that's advertising. At least if you're going to be so blatant be honest about it.

ALright Tim, I'm sorry, Its hust so hard when someone is looking for one and its such a good kit for the K series. There are a fair few owners on the SELOC website that have them fitted to there elise's. Maybe ask the question there?

I've seen these for sale and am tempted! Is it easy to fit for a someone who can just about use a spanner?

Christ i nearly sh** myself after reading this! Until i looked at the date posted. I now own that gorgeous purle S1 & bought it of that guy 16 months ago. It now has a PiperCross induction kit as fitted on Friday.
