I want some sort of induction kit/after market filter for my standard 2.2
I have tried reading relics testing but it all got a bit to much for me ,I know nothing about diesel tunning so need an idiots guild if poss.
I have read that some filters increase the turbo noise which is good cos thats what i want , but i dont want to restrict airflow

could anybody tell me which is best ,any help would be great

Don't know of any aftermarket induction kits.

Read on here the best air filter is the standard one...



Although I would be interested too...

I'd read the same so left it alone!

Are you wanting the induction kit for noise or to make a power gain? I think the reason there are little to no kits available for the diesel is that induction kits generally make very little difference to power output, but sound nice on a high revving petrol. On a Diesel I would not be so sure how good it would sound

Diesels have vast amounts of free air most of the time (unlike petrols they don't use all their in-cylinder air during combustion) so even if an induction kit did give you more airflow, you wouldn't cause any more Diesel to be injected. You would need a remap or tuning box in order to achieve this.

mostly noise but dont wanna lose power I know relic is using a custom made kit which is very good but i wanted to know if there are any off the shelf options

 

[corasdad]

am i right in think any universal cone filter would fit and work as long as i use a cold air feed to make sure its getting plenty???

filter
UNIVERSAL HIGH POWER CONE AIR FILTER BLUE | eBay

cold feed
Cold Air Intake Feed with Ram Ends (Flexible induction ducting) - BLUE | eBay

any advice would be great

hello mate long story short from relics data everything else loses power the standard set up is best. you can improve standard by running a cold air feed to it. any cold feed will work and you can cut a hole in a fog lamp blank you dont need mugen garnishes

but using a standard honda filter wont get the induction noise or a louder turbo noise,hmmm will follow your advice and keep it as it is ,thanks for the dissapointing news least its saved me money lol lol
will have to keep my fingers crossed one is made soon lol

 

[coste1l]

relic made his own with a k&n it didnt help something like the aem cai could work but if you want some noise get a martelius

 

[corasdad]

cant afford one lol

 

[coste1l]

take your back box off and replace with a straight pipe out of the drivers side triangle ;-)

 

[Scotty182]

Simply removing the centre box and replacing with steel piping would help with a small note change

Failing that you're into swapping backboxes and tail pipes!

 

[corasdad]

lol its an idea but I think the wife would notice,where as a subtle induction noise could be passed off lol

I have drilled a 2.5" hole in the fog blank insert, then put 2.5" pipe up and through into a 2.5">3" reducer with 3" pipe going into airbox.

Take a look at my gallery thread or mod thread

You coul do this with that 3" pipe on Ebay, looks a good deal to be honest £11

Diesel's sounds ***** with an induction kit, trust me I hear them day in day out and I'm yet to hear a good one. Stick to the OEM Honda filter for best power and economy and just have the car tuned. If you want better sound, have some quality exhaust work done... or buy a Type R

K&N Typhoon 1.9/2.0 TDI Air Induction Kit - FR&R Tuning| ECU Remapping| Stage 1, 2 & 3 Engine Performance Upgrades - (Powered by CubeCart)

could something like that be adapted?

(Obviously not that one, rediculous price!) but designed for TDI

Anyone has a vid of one fitted? I also think would sound naff but would like to hear all the same.

Agreed with the exhaust idea.

i looked at this VW GOLF MK4 1.8 20V 1999 - 2004 TURBO BLUE COLD AIR FILTER INDUCTION INTAKE KIT | eBay

 

[phil739]

interested in more info on swopping exhaust pipes etc for more noise if anyone has any info

For £30 try the panel filter.

The reductions in performance are minimal and it should give you the sound you want. We have to bare in mind relic wanted uppermost brilliance for everything but a small drop in air intake on a standard car wont be noticeable IMO
