fai17 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I got a Roger Clark Motorsport induction kit to replace my APS CAI because i don't need the MAF sensor as the GEMS ECU use a MAP sensor instead. It's a very large K & N filter with a 80mm trumpet and it's own SAMCO hose. Spoke to Olly from RCM and he took great time be explain the question i asked him.Great guy.Plus i got a discount from him too.The car defo has more top end because the size of the filter and all i made to make now is a heat shield on tuesday to complete the job. Note the ducting i have put in for the air feed.Thanks to Gumball for the ducting CHEERS MATE[Y] And finally cleaned my engine bay with Halfords CD2.It's great stuff. Thanks for looking and what do yous think?
jamie_wood Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I think.....you should but even MORE stuff from RCM. Had a shot of a car thats been prepared by them and its the BLX. Well done for not buying from a "Max Power" tuning outfit and actually going to the guys who DO know about these cars. They were built as rally cars so more folk need to understand that it takes folk with that knowledge to prepare the car.
bigbadboab Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks the mutts nuts, but you missed a bit next to the battery[]

st3ph3n Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. That cone is MASSIVE Peter. Looks tremendous too. I've got some CD2 that I'm waiting to use.
jcscoob Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Peter where is the MAF sensor ?? Ps, looks feckin minted mate [][][]
G.T. Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 very nice young man amy good noises coming from it
ANDYJDMSTI Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks the exact same as someone else i know [] what made you change from the APS any noticeable differences??? Agree with you that Olly and the boys know their stuff, helped me in the past too
wilky Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Yup, RCM helped me with my geometry settings and the car was transformed, the coilovers were a handful until I had the right settings, after that things were much better. Callum W

Agree with you that Olly and the boys know their stuff, helped me in the past too The car is actually smoother to drive.The APS use to make some dunking noise on part throttle which is now gone.A bit quietier too but still dumps through it all the same. Note there is no MAF sensor on the trumpet. Has your's got the MAF sensor on it Andy? When can you take me out for a spin m8????
ally-b Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks very nice Peter - I'll have to drop round for a look later [Y] Al.
paulc555 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks great Peter.... Geeeezzzz thats one clean engine bay...thought i was a fanatical polisher, but you and Gus should form the shiny car club[]
dipsy Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks good Fai17 .In the picture what is the t piece with the three pipes in for near the coolant tank
ANDYJDMSTI Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Yes Pete mine still has the maf sensor on it. Had to get the MAF re-scaled by Andyf when i got the mapped tweaked as i got the 80mm kit. Seemingly if you get the 76mm one it does not need re-scaled.

Gumball Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks good mate. Im sure youll be getting more air forced in there than the Doors at Ian Grieves minus the tumblweed

~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Sounds like a neat piece of kit ! Does it make a sound like a broad sucking chrome off a tow bar ? CGS
ANDYJDMSTI Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Cal, it does indeed make a great sooking noise that would put many a whoore to shame!!!! []
vicki Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Wow Peter, very clean [] I'm scared to clean my engine incase my car won't start again.

fai17 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Quote Looks good Fai17 .In the picture what is the t piece with the three pipes in for near the coolant tank That is for the Defi boost gauge me.I've been told that is the most accurate place for getting the boost reading(inlet manifold)

Yes Gordy you can get one to fit your car but you need to get the trumpet with the MAF sensor.They do one in a kit form but come with the slightly shorter K & N filter.And it's a 80mm pipe.
