Hi Guys,

I have a ZR 105 and am wanting to make it as perky as possible, i am just about to buy an induction kit/Filter Thingy and have found a K&N 57i for £40 and was planning on investing in it.

Is this a good idea and what, if any power gains am i likely to see?

If this is not a good idea please recommend any reasonably priced investment opportunities that will offer some kind of noticable improvement to power.

Cheers

performance back box eg magnex

Open cone filter = nil gain and possible power loss on a road car.
Enclosed filter such as BMC offers some performance benefit.
Deburr the exhaust manifold
Fit a cat back performance exhaust system
Buy a Superchips Icon from Ebay.

Cracking summary! Use the search and stick in some of them words, as you will have more than enough to read.

Sounds about right. Expensive stuff this modding lark!:lol:

I think ashy put them in order of what you should do if you're looking for power gains on a 1.4, so a superchip is the last stage before you need to have serious (£1000+) work done. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

You obviously don't read posts properly before making comments...just to reiterate:

Buy a Superchips Icon from Ebay.

Usually go for around £80. Cheapest 5 BHP and more low down torque you will get that actually does work.

Or PM Nebburns. I sold him mine a while back and is set up for a 1.4 K series. I don't think he will need it any more now that he has a Vi.
