cold air induction kit

[jim_bling]

hey peeps where is the best place to get a cold air induction kit especualy for the micra like i have seen on a couple of micras on here

 

[squarepants]

k&n from halfords do air filters....or just buy a universal one, both will bolt onto yout throttle body. would cost you about 20-40 quid.

i have one of those i want the metal pipes that go on to the throttle body and leed away from it 2 another place where me air filter will b 2 secs will get a pic

just like that on this one any 1 no where 2 get one

i'm after one of those pipes aswell! I believe Samco Silicone hoses are the trick with some chrome pipe.

They are quite similar to K+N Typhoon Kits, unfortunately K+N dont make a Typhoon kit to fit the micra but do, do a full 57i induction kit, they will set you back about 80-100quid at Halfords (been working there too long lol). Im not to sure what other Typhoon kit would fit a micra, anyone have any idea of a different vehicle you could get one for and mod/direct fit it to a micra ????? I could be interested in one of these

Cheers Nick.

Ps: There is also a PiperX Filter system which is similar called the viper induction kit, yet again nothing available for a micra, anyone help here ether

does it work then no cold air feed needed to it?

great minds think alike!

ha ha thats mint that but would prefer metal pipes rather than plastic colder the pipes are better it is the plastic will get hot off the engine and thats why a want to move my air filter like the one in the pic if the owner of that perticular car could tell me where he got it from

I feel it gives more torque at higher engine speed than the standard air box.

same here! but a slight loss to bottom end, might try to graft on the factory resonator tube (nissan put it there for a reason eh !)

dont know about that, as mine is a March it was different, the end of the resonator tube was open on mine as stock.

 

[frank]

perhaps they,re only effective on 2 strokes then!

that is probably the coolest part of the engine bay (away from the exh and rad

I got mine off ebay, paid about £15 for a silicon bend (76mm internal diameter i think..) paid £5 for metal tubing the same size, couple of foot long, and about £10 for the filter. An extra couple of quid for some jubilee clips and job done (Y)

 

[Katie]

I do believe Simota make them, the fitting would be for a 1.6 primera

P11SR20 gave me that nugget of information but ive since forgot the rest of what he was saying.... shame on me for being forgetful!!

Drain Pipe, not a bad idea, do they do T junctions?

 

[ollyc98]

Yes you can get T-junctions, I am using boiler pipes, like drainpipe but metal.

Or you could remove your bonnet?

 

[pjg1979]

I want to use a drain pipe so I can have two induction kits, thewn cut a hole in the bonnet insert some chrome mesh, then light those babies up with LED flood lamps. Obviously all in good time.
