max power universal induction kit

Site Subscriber Joined: 11 Feb 2005 Posts: 2929

I bought one of these about a month ago for Â£20 new.
I foud it to be a very good replacement for the standard air box and far better value for money than a Ram Air or K&N induction kit.
Although I don't know if it gives as much of an increase in power. (normaly not a lot anyway)

Also has a bigger cone, which is always a bonus. Shame it's PINK.

here's an E-bay link.

Have you got a pic of it in the car? i've got a 57i from my old astra (company car) keep toying with trying it on the R19, got a k&N panel at the moment. how is it supported? does it just sit where ever, my 57i kit had a mounting bracket, do these?
cheers

Na it's just like the K&N except for the top, which has a chrome plate in the shape of a doughnut wich creates a double breather effect.

Would be nicer in a darker colour.

But makes a nice induction roar, and sucks like a mo fo even on idle.

Well worth Â£20 considering the price of the others on the market, or infact the price of a standard filter.

ok Induction Kit arrived this morning, fitted this dinnertime and car taken for a blast round the block, pull away seems quicker (not by a stupid amount but defo better than it was)

I cleaned the TB out as well whilst i had the air feed off so this could also contribute to the better pull away

Nice roar coming from it too as u pull away Very Happy

lets see how it does when i got my ECU sorted and over a period of time

yep rogers right, it was the only way I could route it so the strain was off where it was down to a couple of strands.

OK it's been fitted a couple of weeks now and i'm pretty pleased with my Â£20 Max Power IK, makes a nice roar, was very very easy to fit and has made a small improvement to the running of the car.
That being slightly better pull away, top end and no difference what so ever cept the nice roarrrrr lol
