Hey Guys,

Just wondering if its worth replacing the air cleaner on my Megane Cup.

I am not sure if K&N or Green make one, but if they do .... is it worth the cost.

They sell for about $120-160 Aussie $, thats about 45-50 pounds.

I have done nothing else, and dont want to do much more (new exhaust maybe).

Has anyone just changed the filter and noticed any improvement ?

Thanks

Dom

Dom,

Glad you ade it back after the site went down. During winter last year I put on a pod filter (HKS style) and I'd have to say the power may have even decreased a little. Although it sounded amazing, it felt like it lost a little tourque. If I set things up properly (ie ran a cold air pipe to it), things may have been different. I'd hate to think what it would drive like now in the heat.

Its a cheap and good way to sound nuts and is fairly easy to change back to std, come service time.

Cheers
Dave

im running a K&N panel filter and it seems to make a slight difference on pull away, also run a new air feed to the standard air box from the front bumper so its got alot better induction.

this be the one i got.

Hey Andy,

I dont want to a new air feed, do you still think its worth it?

i had one in the Clio and it made a slight diference .... but since is so cheap i thought it would be worth doing.

Hey Andy,

Do you have a part number for the K&N filter, the local guy cant find it in his book.

Thanks Mate.

I rang the local importer an they dont bring that into Australia ...10 weeks delivery! can you believe it.

Mind you if i want to pay an extra $150 Aus on top of the price of the air cleaner i can have it in two weeks.

Anyone use a Green Cotton filter ? i may be able to get it here faster than a K&N.

New Pipercross Viper Induction kit...

My girlfriend and I have just bought a new 5 door 225... and are considering changing the OEM air filter for an induction kit. Does anybody have any experience with the new K-tec kit?

Thank you for your help!

Where did you get the panel filter from? Had a look on the K&N website but they only have induction kits for about £93. How much was the panel filter?

 

[mike_d225]

Panel filter retails with k+n for £40.77 I think

Had a look at that link, thanks.

Found a couple of local suppliers. No one stocks the part, disadvantages of not having a common as muck car! :lol:

It'll cost about £38 and take 3-5 days to appear.

Update - Just ordered from Revolution Performance Motors in Newcastle. They'll have it on wednesday next week and it cost £38.99

Green Cotton

Hey Guys,

Well since the K&N guys here in OZ wanted to take 12 weeks to get a filter in for me :shock:

I had a look for the Green Cotton filter, so if anyone is interested the part number for the one to suit the Megane 225 is 950382, its about 40 GBP.

This is the french site, but they have a UK office as well.

Dom, did you order direct from the french site or through Australia? Still thinking of doing something like this or re-designing the standard airbox to fit a pod inside it.
