Right, I want to change the air filter on my 225. Any body got any recomendations??

Moose,

Just ordered the ITG panel filter from K-tec. Supposed to be the panel filter of choice over K&N.

I'll let you know what it's like when it turns up.

got a green cotton replacement panel filter on mine, works pretty well. (DCI though)

What's the going price guys??

£50 delivered for the ITG.

Its got the added bonus of never having to clean it aswell, but i do bang the debris and dust off it every now and then

Ive got the pipercross viper induction kit. Around the £200 marker !!!

Here's some pics mate

Show off!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

sorry, i ought to mention, i didn't pay for it, as pipercross used my car to design it in the UK :oops: :lol: :lol:

Oh well thats ok then! :D

yes it is :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

think mine was about 45ish from POTN.com all airboxes on the meganes are the same.

K&N £37 inc postage works a treat

Take from Meganeownersclub.........

K & Ns are bad news, particularly in cars that have tight under bonnet areas and turbos. The excess heat causes the oil to "move" after the car has been standing for a bit, say 15 - 20 minutes and then it (the oil) gets into the throttle box and onto the odd sensor! Other than the fact that after a few months you'll lose that seemingly extra bit of urge as the airflow reduces!

Now I know I've said this before and no doubt I will again! Every time we have a car in on the rolling road and it has K & Ns we run it up on the dyno, point out the figures to the owner, then remove the things and attach a supplementary airbox with a highflow cleaner. BHP ALWAYS increases.

Mainly the reason I went with ITG (along with some other opinions elsewhere).

I suppose you pays yer money......

Pipercross is a good product. I want one of those Viper kit also :roll:

The air box they probably add is brand new and as clean as anything so it would always up the bhp if it has more flow...


So if the k&n was brand new and clean i would have thought it would have the same results...


:?

few peeps on here running K&N id advise them to remove and go for Greenfilters (straightforward and really good filtration + fairly cheap) or ITG. the oil on the K&N causes some problems

True! Oil and dust = poor air flow!

wen you look at it that way it does make sense i suppose.

so K&N is bad???? I always thought they were quite good??

What make is the one that KTec supply?? And is it any good?

i got the K&N but thinking of changing it now with its bad reviews etc

k-tec sell the ITG filter which is supose to the best one along with GREENs one.

am also looking into this today to see if this will fit

Andy, nice avatar

Ive got the itg panel filter on mine, no problems

Richard

i have a viper too pics on the other thread :D and mines red :D

hello craig, how you getting on with your viper?

Think i might go for the ITG panel filter with a cold air feed like andys.

Andy noticed you didnt put in the aluminium end piece on your cold air feed this time / like you did in your previous 225 how come ?

Think the ITG is the way to go ie price to performance ratio imo

Cheers

After removing my battery, battery tray, ecu, half a dozen tie raps, airbox, and something that rattled to the bottom of the engine bay, I reccomend leaving the bloody thing as it is. Or get the best filter going, the viper, and get pipercross to fit it!

or you get a professional to fit it :wink:

Handy Andy the mechanic

thats me. :lol: i only charge half the labour that rens do to. :D

moral of the story dont buy a main stream panel filter when your running a non mainstream model 2.0 Turbo

ive said it three times Green filters are only a bit behind the ITG and are a bit cheaper but at the end of the dau you get what you pay for and ITG are the best at the Mo.

OK so where are the best/cheapest places to buy the ITG filter??
