V6 airbox with ITG panel filter for 182.

[bomber]

can buy them new from renault for £60 odd quid too

 

[Jonny1*2]

that just for the box? or brackets too?

 

[bomber]

bracket is extra, but i dont have one as it doesnt fit 100% to the bracket hole anyway and is pretty solid

 

[Jonny1*2]

so you just attached it to the standard bracket then? custom jobby?

 

[traffmeister]

im with quade on this one, definaltly extra noise but i also gained power from it over the pipercross viper. assuming the matched inlets gave me 10bhp, the v6 airbox and samco 90' bend gave me 8bhp

what shall i paint my manifold and the RS logo with, send a private message plz wnat it black and white writing kinda like this

 

[blackpool_john]

what year v6 espace do i need to get the airbox from?

 

[Jonny1*2]

i'm in the process of getting one. was the airbox on all the v6 models? presumably its the 1998 shape?

1991 - 97 Renault Espace 2.9 V6 RT/ RXE models

For some reason the system was saying that the airbox was from a R25? :S

same as what i was quoted

 

[Yellow Dave]

They used similar airboxes on loads of the older Renaults. Here's a link to a K&N panel filter for the V6 Espace and Ph1 172 airbox, but it says it also fits a load more:

the Renault 25 also has a v6 model, i think this filterbox is the one they later used for the Espace to cut production-costs

Good to hear about the R25 ; makes thing simpler when looking around / calling brokers+scrappies

Alper ; you reading this !?

 

[sammyhale22]

What is the strap for ? Is that the bracket bit or an important part of the airbox?

 

[bomber]

holds the airbox to the car/battery part. in the pics i posted of my engine, you can see where the strap should go around but i dont have one fitted. with the 90degree bend, it doesnt fit anyway

 

[sammyhale22]

I`ve been quoted £65 inc vat at Renault Sutton park in burton upon trent.
The guy couldn`t tell me what year vehicle or engine it was for when i gave him the part number! lol
He said it just says box and filter for Renault espace and R25.
Also are there any noticeable gains over replacing the standard filter in this box with the ITG one?

 

[Jonny1*2]

its got a bigger caf, so noise will change from standard. gains are arguable.

 

[sammyhale22]

I know, but i mean obviously there will be gains from ditching my phase 2 box and installing this V6 one, BUT are there any further gains in replacing the standard V6 airbox filter with an ITG filter?? Or is that a waste of money?

[MarkCup]

I've got no strap or bracket holding mine in place, it's just bolted to the end of the elbow, and then has the cable tied CAF attached to it.

The size of it meant it was a snug enough fit to do without any support at all.

 

[fil_b]

does look sweet mark

what size pipe you use??

Better filter will make marginal difference, but again you'll not really notice it when driving. RR might show it up - 1bhp or something. Better filters can be cleaned though, so its an investment. I'm pondering over the ktec or the ITG myself.

Probably 105mm

You had to remove the fuel rail guard mate? Have you used the standard ph2 elbow? or is that the elbow off the v6?

 

[fil_b]

sweet

will look into it

 

[caister]

You dont have to run the CAF as Mark has. It can be run the other way down into the passenger wheel arch or lower grill. I'm not sure about the elbow as ive got a PH1 and the stock elbow is shorter, so fits it perfectly.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Looks like a different elbow to my 182 one. still undecided where i'm going to run my CAF. Need to take off the bumper and assess where to run one. Thinking upper grill, but not sure if its possible.

 

[sammyhale22]

Yeh upper grill is too tight, the front of this car seems to be all radiator and a silly shaped plastic grill!
I have done a battery relocation on mine so i run my filters straight off the TB, i will probably pipe it down to my wheel arch as per my BMC CDA.

 

[Pauldredge]

so would you recommend this to be done on a 182 over the standard box and aftermarket filter?

or would i be better just getting a proper aftermarket induction/air filter?

 

[Jonny1*2]

Think it's arguable mate. Unless someone runs lots of different ones on a roller to see which is best we will never know

 

[jack_davey]

I watched MarkCup with his on surrey rolling roads rollers and when the CAF was removed it made a difference of like 5bhp or something similar

 

[Andyman]

i had a pipercross viper induction kit on my 172. made 174bhp. then swapped it for a V6 airbox with ITG panel and matched inlets, re-did the pipe work into the filter and made 192bhp. the matched inlets dont make 18bhp thats for sure....

same rollers too

192 bhp with inlets, V6 air box and some pipe messing?? okkkkkk :S

yeah i believe it was down on hp rather than up though
