GENERAL FITMENT GUIDELINES
For:
FORCED AIR INDUCTION KITS
&
PERFORMANCE AIR FILTER KITS
Universal Air Filters
If considering fitting an induction kit, please first consider the following guidelines carefully. If they can be met by your vehicle, a custom fit induction kit can probably be installed. Even if you have limited DIY knowledge, these guidelines should be understood first as it is not possible to give specific advice for every vehicle regarding ‘custom’ installations.
1. Locate your factory OEM ‘air filter box’ – this will be connected to your engine air intake manifold via an air duct system (duct system is usually 40 to 102mm in diameter, and may be of both rigid and flexible construction).
2. Your ‘air filter box’ has to be removed and replaced with the sport filter kit. Check that you will have space for the filter system you wish to fit once the old system is removed (Widths and diameters of each filter system can be found on the respective listings).
3. PLEASE NOTE: FORCED AIR INDUCTION KITS ALSO FEATURE A FLEXIBLE COLD AIR FEED PIPE WHICH MUST BE DIRECTED TO THE FRONT OF YOUR VEHICLE (or equivalent) FROM THE FILTER UNIT TO SOURCE A SUPPLY OF COLD AIR. These pipes normally have an outer diameter of 60-110mm, please consider if there is suitable space to fit this air feed.
4. With the old filter box removed, you now need a circular intake section to fix the filter on to. This can be at any point before the engine intake manifold; it may be necessary to remove or add further sections of ducting to locate a suitable mounting point (Alloy pipe sections and various couplings available in store).
5. With a suitable intake section located, select a suitable connector, reducing coupler or air inlet adaptor to attach to your engine intake. With this first connector installed you can then add further components and a filter to build your complete induction system.
6. Rigid or Flexible? – If the circular x-section is FLEXIBLE, it must be tightened around a rigid connector, such as an alloy pipe section, and then to the filter. If the x-section is RIGID however, then the reverse applies.
7. Refit any sensors unplugged from the original filter system to the new induction system. Any temperature sensors or breather pipes can be reconnected using an ‘alloy pipe PLUS+’ or similar, which offers accommodation for such fitments. It is important that the intake air temperature (IAT) is read from your air induction system, and not from the air in your engine bay to ensure safe vehicle operation and performance. Breather pipes must also breathe FILTERED AIR. These pipes can also be accommodated for using a breather filter (see listings) as an equally suitable alternative to ‘pipe PLUS+’ attachments. For best engine performance we advise re-attaching breather pipes to your induction system instead of using a breather filter wherever possible.
8. IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISTURB THE SETUP OF YOUR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THIS SHOULD BE LEFT IN ITS FACTORY OEM SETUP TO ENSURE ACCURATE READINGS AND SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION. IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL GARAGE FOR ADVICE.
9. Induction kits are suitable for use on petrol or diesel vehicles, either automatic or manual transmission types.
