K&N or BMC CDA and fitment?

[stani540]

if you have bought the cda new it should come with the circular mounting bracket and a mounting bar (bar of metal with holes in) which can be attached where i attached mine as there is already a bot in the piece of metal on the engine and all you need is a nylock bolt to secure it!

[lolhoward]

Sorry mate.

You have two pipes

one 12mm and one 19mm.

Do you need a breather filter on each?

sorry im confusing you

you need one breather of 19mm as i just posted above

the other breather needs to be cut out of the exisiting airbox/engine cover

what you need to do is unscrew the airbox off the bottom of the engine cover take out the filters and you should see the bit im on about!

then for looks sake chop the back left mounting leg off the airbox and screw it back to the engine cover then you can trim your engine cover around your cda to get a neet finish like mine and your ignition leeds look better that way!

Got ya mate. Thanks alot.

We got there in the end!

Canceled my order from Kamracing, finaly got hold of them today. Reordered the BMC from rimstyle and a couple of hoses and clips direct from siliconhoses. And did what you said and just ordered the breather from eBay. Luckily ebay contacted me and gave me £20 off a purchase so got the breather for free. Was going to buy an oil catch but decided on sticking with your tip and going to cut it out of the engine cover.

[lolhoward]

Thanks again stani.

[stani540]

no worries mate anytime

[bbspolo]

catch tanks are SOOOOOOO much better than little filters!
all yours pics look rearly good then u put little nasty little filters on the breather pipes?????
how many well modified/ race cars do u see with those filters on?????????

first pic i psoted shows the breather filter at the back and the one way filter at the front, after i realised it needed this

after taking some nice advice

id get it done stani i told everyone to do it as mine ran out of oil after spitting it out all over the bay

i know i think it was you who told me, i dont even have the polo any more and am fitting a catch tank to my cupra

hey guys, been reading through the posts.
i've bought the k&n kit from lolhoward but been reading about the spitting oil?
i've not had a induction kit before so if anyone could explain about it a little more id appreciate it.
also how to go about fitting the filter or a catch tank
cheers

[stani540]

if you read through the thread I explain which valve you need to cut out and you just block the hole on the bottom of the k+n

[lolhoward]

Or you can fit a catch tank which I was going to do (get them cheap on eBay) until I decided on the BMC.

[stani540]

there really is no poing in a catch tank on this car jsu tuse the one way valve

hi im new to this whole scene,

just wandering i have a 9n 1.4 16v (75bhp) and want to buy a K&N induction kit. Will i notice differences if i dont use the stock airbox, i.e will it be quicker

Thanks

[stani540]

no it will make limited or no difference mate all your buying is the noise really, still worth doing though

[chrisjames]

^ quick answer is no.
At first I was in the same situation. I am now running the stock airbox btw. A replacement panel filter is a good bet but a proper cone setup will sound nicer. Neither will give you noticable gains but combined with a remap, maybe.

Hope that helps some
