VR-Sixy 0 Posted November 22, 2012 Hello Corrado-Heads. Looking like the christmas present from me to me is going to be a K and N Induction kit for my Rado. (If that's just TOO sad, please advise!!) Has anyone got any advice on these? Are they easy to fit or do you need a lot of specialist kit/tools/Bacon Sandwiches etc) to get the job done. Or is there anything else out there that does the job as well or better? Thanks Guys. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted November 22, 2012 10 minutes to fit, dead easy. Will sound great, but will probably harm your performance unless you have a good heatshield. You're much better off with a K&N panel filter in the standard airbox, or with a BMC CDA, which is enclosed, or a Carbonio which is routed through the carbon canister hole and out of the engine bay. Trust me, my first VR had one when I bought it and the car felt loads better (smoothness, throttle response) when I fitted a standard airbox and paper filter!

Oh well, i think i'll stick with that. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billzeebub 1 Posted November 22, 2012 Where's the best place to get a BMC? How easy is it to fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted November 24, 2012 i think stealth sell them new? google stealth racing and give them a call, mon-fri. alternatively they do pop up for sale on here and also ed38. id say one in good condition should be about £90-£100. Worth it for the noise in my opinion. Also i think the outlet is a slightly different soze to the vr6 maf so you need a piece of connecting silicone for a smooth fitment :) and easy to fit, whip off the air, connecto filter to the amf and secure it and job done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR-Sixy 0 Posted March 14, 2013 Looking at a Pipercross induction kit - the carbon fibre encased one. Anyone have any thoughts on these. Up for grabs for a VR6 on FleaBay for 179 sovs!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
