hi all, just got an induction kit for my 2005 fabia sport.

the prob is how do i fit it when this big engine cover is on and how does it come off many thanks

Not sure about the Sport but the vRS engine cover just comes off when you pull it upwards.

Don't you have any instructions with your induction kit?

just shows it on the pipe, the cover is really stiff to pull off. Is there a clip or somthing i have to push

firm pull will bring it off

don't petrol engines have covers held on by nuts located under trim covers ?

got the top removed, but fitting the kit is a pain with no propper instructions, does any one have a pic of the 1.4 with one on so can use it for reference...many thanks

Does anyone have some experiance with these kits? Do they really add any power/bhp on a petrol engine?

Just depends, some are made simply for sound, and some purly for performance. the enclosed kits are better as they keep the hot air out and breathe in more power.

Found one like this. Don´t know if they have one that fits my Fabia2. They promise up to 10 bhp gain but that also include 0 bhp;)

What would be a realistic gain on a 1.2 with 70bhp?

It depends on the restriction from the standard airbox, how well the ECU responds to an increase in air/fuel and how the air feed on the Viper is located.

An upto 10BHP increase over standard is a very over optimistic claim but is something that all these companies tell us

In the past ive used kits from green K&N pipercross and currently a carbonio and out of the lot the carbonio gives the best intake noise

An increase in BHP on there own though mmmmmm nothing noticeable but its the same as all mods a bit here and a bit there plus a remap makes all the difference

Agreed - I fitted a Pipercross VIS kit (same as a Carbonio but with a better filter) on a mates Corrado VR6 and it was such a delicious sound on WOT

the viper will be best for added performance, to be honest with the kit you could be looking at anything between 5-8.5 hp, conbined with a decent exhaust and manifold system

thanks again for the link - good price on the viper with shipping in the UK....

Must resist, must resist........

Thanks guys for the replies.

id say ud maybe get 0.5 or 1bhp max! youll likely to get more sound and think its pulling better, and a cleaner pull in the rev range

Realistically, I think a free-flow CAI induction kit will be worth 3 or 4 bhp.
