cheap enclosed induction kits ?

[jjenn20]

Are they any good ?
Theres a cheap universal one on ebay £ 45 are they worth it tho ?

Wouldn't bother tbh, just get an uprated panel filter for the standard air box.

Do have the link ??

Enclosed filters are better so don't get heat soak or suck up a puddle,If there fitted properly.

I'd personally stay standard or go for a viper styled one.

I use the carbon effect enclosed system from ebay. Around £35 mainly to reduce heat soak and lower air temps.

£45 doesn't sound cheap for one....

Cheaper than a £100+ pipercross , BMC, or ITG filter

I imagine the ebay jobbies are fine for what they are, as long as the filter inside isn't restrictive

Can't see it making a difference on a 1.8, but if you're prone to driving through fords then being able to relocate the air feed to somewhere that doesn't suck it all up and hydrolock your engine can only be a good thing.

I'd wait for a used BMC DIA to come up, seen a few for sale at the price you're talking about.
The issue won't be the enclosure but the filter inside might be rubbish, at least a used BMC that you then thoroughly clean and re-oil is of a known quality.

Iv just had my mot, and I got an advisory for a crack in the cv joint, is this badd ??

i've seen one done with a largeish tupperware tub with a filter inside, bit of ducting and you'll be away for a lot less than £45 lol

[welshpug]

the best enclosed induction setup, is the standard one.

Is good filtration really such a necessity on these? I know that sounds like a stupid comment but are these so precise that a speck of dust or 1mm speck could ruin things? Im not going to sounds like a xud boy and shout "run defillter yo, na restrictions!" but is it worth getting a ~£100 filter when a £5 ebay will do at getting the really chunky bits (bugs etc) and the engine will just make do with the smaller bits getting in provided its not a shit ton of sand (see forum post about guy porting and polishing engine by pouring sand into the intake)
Just opening up for a interesting debate not trying to pick fights btw

I found my 205 gti6 responded a hell of a lot better to a cheap open cone £5 eBay jobby, over an expensive enclosed pipercross filter

Probably because better filtration loosely correlates with more restriction.

It'd respond great with just wire mesh over it to keep out rocks but your air wouldn't be very well filtered.
