Hi Guys

I'm new to the forum. I have been searching hi and low for a forum for our cars and finally I have found one. Great site!!!

Just bought myself a 2002 1.6se sport.

The only mods are ICE- Alpine head unit and 4 Alpine 6.5" component speakers but now I'm ready to start on the engine.
I lived in the US for 1 year and they would live and die by the K&N brand abut  it seems that in England there isn't as much support. Don't know if it's because of lack of marketing. It's just funny how different continents will take to different brands. I have used a K&N induction kit on a 2.0 Nissan Sentra and got great results and this is when I lived in the Caribbean and I never had any problems with the temperature (heat soak) in the engine and the daily temp was like 36 degrees!!! (never had a heat shield)

Since I had good results from K&N in the past I have just ordered an induction kit from europerformance  for £100 which seemed to be reasonable.
Has anyone ever removed the original Honda induction box and can give any advice/tips, pics will be great if possible. Do they also do modified chips for our cars, I have been searching but I can't find any.
Thanks

Good buy on the K&N i think, there are some how-to's for the air induction floating about im pretty sure.

As for the chip, im nearly certain that there are none made for our car in production, though there's always the option of a piggyback chip like a unichip  Cool

Your K&N kit will probably have photo instructions on how to fit it, I know the Typhoon kit does.

As for K&N's I'm suprised that you aren't going for a AEM filter since they're more popular with Hondas in the U.S aren't they?
Like you said, heatsoak is playing on everybodies minds when they buy a filter so most people now go for CAI or enclosed jobbies. Or at the very least a normal kit with heatshielding & ducting ect.

Hi mate welcome to the forum, as far as i know this is the only one for us. This is a great site and were always happy to help each other out, where provided. Everything has been pretty much answered above except, chip.

Dastek do the unchip and its add;s around 10-20 bhp but costs around £500. There are one or two people on here who have chipped their engine so the outlook is good, im not sure if they have used dastek though.

Hi just gave DASTEK (www.dastek.co.uk) a call and they put me through to a local dealer. The price is £650 + VAT for a chip!!!!!

I still can't believe it!!!!

£300 for the chip and £350 to map(labour).

Thats one upgrade Im going to forget about and plus they will give no guarantees on improvement in BHP!!!!!!!!

I'm sure with, cai, exaust system, decat etc , after tuning the chip you could really unleash some searious power from the chip. Not sure about rev limit though, but if it could safely be raised it would be good. Again 650 quid is a bit <insert nasty word/s here>.

Honda used a out of date proccesor. They are hard to get (the were made by Hitachi corp.), but some company in China still makes them so I heard on www.pgmfi.org ! but 300 for the chip that cost 10$ is f**k too much!!
For a 650£ you can almost get a AEM EMS (i think AEM had a price of 1300$).

but on the induction box (resonator in front of it):
People said  it take away the low and mid power if you swap with K&N, and the only thing you get it sound.

Hi Guys

Induction kit finally arrived. I was planning to install it myself but just don't have the time or daylight!!!!

I have it booked in to get it installed at a good garage. Fingers crossed I wont loose any power. Owner of the garage said I won't loose power once I reset the car's computer, remove air sensor and something else can't remember- Only one way to find out.

Hopefully I will post my review tomorrow.

I was also surprised that there is this pipe thingy that sits under the car and feeds air into the engine/filter. (looks pretty cool and seems to be a good idea) and the filter wasnt one of the normal K&N cone filters but seemed to be quite bigger. pics will follow shortly!

Hi

Got it installed, sounds great but it could be a lot more agressive.

Have not lost any power at all, I even think the car pulls harder when changing gears.

Soon pics will follow.

Our cars learn and adjust the air flow. This means Filters which add more air will receive more fuel as well.
