Airbox setup whats needed?
- Thread starter Clgale88
- Start date
You need the airbox with filter
The 2 cold air pipes (bottom and side)
The pipe from air box to the throttle body - with the breather pipe
Both the brackets to hold the airbox in (if they've removed them)
And possibly the acoustic valve
My cup had a pipercross filter on too and I've put it back to 100% standard now - so if you need any pics I'll be happy to get them
If you take a pic of your engine bay I can see exactly what's missing

front left wheel arch pretty much mate, behind the liner.
i think ive got mine, its pretty easy to refit / remove. just need to whip the wheel arch lining out. it was a while since i took mine off, but it was pretty straight forward i think. you might even have yours still fitted, as its not that common knowledge for people to take them off and it also doesnt have that much of an effect.
I had to buy an acoustic valve from cliospares - then as a few have said you just need to jack up and remove passenger front wheel and inner arch - 30 min job at most
Yours might still be there - look down behind the passenger side headlight see if you can see it
I'm glad I put mine back to standard - the noise is awesome and there's a noticeable increase in power!

Unfortunatly there isn't one on here
I spent AGES looking for a pic of it fitted - as I bought one from cliospares then couldn't work out how to fit it LOL
Get some pics of your engine bay up and take a pic down below the passenger headlight - and then we can tell you whats missing
Meh, ditch it. I run stock set up bar accoustic valve. Its clue to what it does is in its name
It doesn't though - mines fully hooked up and hardly ever closes - the induction noise is awesome
I'm not one for having random ecu cables disconnected and vacuum pipes blocked up just for the sake of it
Renault knew what they were doing when they designed the air box for these cars - why muck about with it?

You don't need the valve ..... they didn't put it there so car runs better, they put it there cause they had too, to sell the car. Its for the cold start EU emissions bullshit and the other 99.99% time its a restriction on the inlet
Yeah but it also gives a nice feed from the scoop on the wheel arch lining - and gives a nice place to clip the cold air feed
It doesn't make the induction quieter - or restrict power so whats the point in removing it and having the cold air feed just flapping about - and blocking off a vacuum feed to the inlet just for the sake of it? lol
