'Coolflow' Induction

GregR · Post by **GregR** » Fri May 26, 2006 11:46 am

Just bought this off fleabay for £59.99... correct, I'm cheap. The dyno graphs that the guy prepares certainly look good, so I'll post up what I find out if I get anything to report bar more noise!

Certainly looks a good piece of kit, almost identical to the hurricane to my untrained eye (no prizes for guessing the inspiration then!). Samco hosing, looks like a K&N cone inside, and some ally ducting; not too bad considering the equivalent from eliseparts is £100 more

Now then, I just need to find someone freindly enough with a jack and 30 minutes to help me out...

Don't need a jack, just a long sleeved top to save your arms. Enjoy getting the airbox out, there is one bolt that is a right PITA! Tricky bit is getting the duct into the right place on the intake, my intake bracket was held on with a bit of duct tape! Hurricane fits over the whole duct, IIRC coolflow one just uses the existing mount.

Get it fitted! I thought I felt a little more torque and a bit better pick up but most likely it was just the change in noise.

Enjoy!

Well, thanks to our very own magic Mac, the kit was fitted in 30 mins

car sounds normal for the first 3k, then at 3k+ burbles like I don't know what! I've no idea if it improves throttle response or owt technical, but it sounds blooming marvellous

Got a link to it on E-Bay?

Have you got a loud 'zaust?

I'm still standard (except disks and pads) but was considering air filter as first engine mod.

Johnnyboy, here's the chap:-

only S1 varient at the mo mate, but you could always drop him a PM to see if he's getting into S2 kits?

On the zorst front, I have a mildly warbly number at the moment, and another mod that, shall we say, makes the car emit rather more than it used to
