ITG fliter

[Shug]

rob bells excellent mgf site did some real back to back rolling road tests


he concludes only a few bhp gain but they remove the torque dip and city driving / pickup is loads better
note the vvc engine got differant gains/ losses
the full tests of all filters is on his site

Any reason that graph misses out the points in the curves that show up the dip on anything but the standard filter. If you interpolate the graph the same as the points marked in the upgrade filters, it'd look the same?

Or is it just an approximation of the dyno readouts?

makes good reading look at air filters

Air filters - needed for engine longevity.

Only reason to install a different type is for economy if going for a panel or noise if going for an induction kit.

thanks for all the opinions guys, decided to go for the itg/modified hose option..i go back to work in 10 days ,so does anyone know of any motor factors around dundee/ aberdeen that stocks them? as would like to get at least a cpl of days driving with it, also, next time i am home i will have the larini waiting for me, i guess that set up should work well. thanks in advance

hangar 111 is the place i got mine mate. Either that or you can buy the panels on ebay for the equivalent cost.

If you're in dundee, will Autosave on the Cleppie Road not do a K&N panel for a Rove K-Series (assuming its still in business... long time since I was home!)

problem for the std filter is the air supply is too small , rover found this when they devoloped the 160 (if you cannot get air in / or out fast enough performance will suffer ) so they changed the exhaust manifold for out but also the air box for in

<image schipped>

they increased its size made the inlet larger and altered the flow patten as shown above

Very interesting that. I take it that airbox won't easily fit in an S1 engine bay? I'd be prepared to look into that alteration provided a K&N panel is still available to fit.

Similar mod for Lotus' version of the 160 - S2 111S. Bigger airbox and 2nd entrance to resonator box (fabled 'baby octopus'). I think the resonator was just for noise reduction? so could just have 2 inputs...

Airbox may be the same as MG, worth a try fitting in an S1 Campbell - someone must have one lying around (post hurricane etc. installation).

[GregR]

an MGTF box like Hiscot has said - do they fit in the elise engine bay ok?

I too would be interested to see if they fit. Off to fleagay now to see if I can get a cheeky wee TF box on the pikey

[campbell]

Righto Greg, you try eBaby I'll try SEbay

Anyone tried the MGTF airbox yet ?

The hose from the side vent on mine has perished and while looking at it it seems to take an odd U bend type path, this may be in part due to the direction of the output on the airbox, is this for some specific reason, dirt trap ??

Just thought before I replaced the pipe it might just be an idea to get a TF airbox re-route the pipework and fit an ITG panel filter, anyone who what would happen if I fudget the side vent to remove the gap at the bottom ? again is this for dirt or engine cooling or something else.

[BiggestNizzy]

Purchased my ITG panel filter today

I will re-route the piping for the airbox at the same time and let you all know how it sounds/goes

[campbell]

what kind of re-routing are you doing?

I've got Dickson's ex 111S airbox kit to play with but not quite sure where to start!!

[BiggestNizzy]

The std airbox has a U shaped tube going to the side intake, I plan on removing that (the tube has split) and replacing it with a tube that goes straight to the side intake. similar to the sport 160

Still wondering if I should fit the "ebay kids fan supercharger though"

[campbell]

ah right!

will have a look at the S1 111S airbox potential when I open my std airbox up to clean the panel filter as part of my "service in stages" over the next couple of weeks

[BiggestNizzy]

What is the differece between the 2 airboxes ? would it be worth trying to source one ?

[campbell]

kinda hard to describe, other than to say both of them are BIG!

will try to get some pics posted
