GB_SEAN 0 Posted September 28, 2004 I love the look of this car and being used to the VR6 as I am to go back to the 16V I need more response the the engine. On a budget can I have some tried and tested suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted September 28, 2004 K&N panel filter & drill the box if you like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted September 29, 2004 For the sake of my fingers I'd recommend you do a search in the tuning section - there's loads of threads on the subject, at work at mo so can't find link :D K&N is a start, and an overhaul of the fuel and ignition systems.

RedRocket 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Bally, I have the K&N panel filter on my 16v but haven't heard of drilling the box (amature)! Can you explain what to do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted September 30, 2004 there's a guide on the CCGB scottish website - basically cut holes between ribs on side of airbox on side away from engine bay and front corner all below panel filter, usually 12 - 14mm holes, and as many as you like. some people remove the snorkel tube as well. i cut about 18 holes, and removed the snorkel, but gotta be honest the sound it made wasn't for me so i put the snorkel back in and taped up the holes - my car felt quicker when i returned the box to normal which i know i'll get slated for. :D ... drill holes gradually and see how you find it, you'll want to reset your mixture after though to be sure you havn't knocked it out.

RedRocket 0 Posted September 30, 2004 Cheers for that aide..The mixture ratio, mines out and i can't adjust it as the screw in the metering head has seized up! I think you may have put me off with the idea though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
