Found this on eBay.
At that price, I don't think anybody will bite.

yeah, i wonder if its anyone on here...?
you're right, too expensive... and 20HP gain???.... probably not.

Ben85 · 08-05-2009, 05:40 PM

I reckon!!!! I agree with Zetec Jim, 20hp my ****. LOL.

zetec jim · 09-05-2009, 02:39 PM

Right....so.... changed the setup again :togo: :togo: last time I swear.

Its a Green Cotton Filter (French or English brand i think) oiled type, use them in rallies and stuff. cost $130 off ebay from somewhere in Melbourne.
Bracket i made, about $5 worth of steel

, $30 for silicon pipe.

its basically like a BMC CDA but not carbon fibre, its alumium.

And cos its aluminium, i had to keep it away from the block, so with some handy help from mr. hacksaw, i cut off some excess plastic parts from the battery cover and from the front near the air-intake side so i could fit the filter and the bracket in respectively:

I also had to keep it away from the fuel line (little red clip inside the right-angle of the silicon pipe) so it didn't rub against it.

I know its not ideal as its got a few bends, but i think its going to perform better than the last setup.

BUT!!!!! Tragedy, i think.... the last setup i had a fixed a bracket using the existing screw point that held the stock air-box. i think i put that screw back in too hard and fouled the intake manifold, or exhaust manifold (whichever is the one towards the front.)...

:

see new post...... :(

Well i think i am finally done as well. The power gains are great, the induction sounds awesome, but most off all it looks neat and professional!!!!!

Twinpiston · 21-05-2009, 01:10 PM

Looks good Ben, where did you get the expander pipe, and yes, does look nice and professional

Ben85 · 21-05-2009, 02:06 PM

I got it from this website

zetec jim · 21-05-2009, 02:17 PM

good stuff mate.

Ben85 · 21-05-2009, 02:19 PM

Thanx Jim. I think i have found the setup i was looking for. Took a few trial and errors, and some $$ but all worth it in the end

photn · 21-05-2009, 04:54 PM

Nice.. it does look professional.....might have to do something with a clean engine bay LOL!....

if u have a fiesta without foggies i would route the pipe down there or even on the front grille...

Thanx mate, yea have always kept my engine bay clean. And i have foggies so there is no room on the WQ to to run the piping, unless i run it under the car, and from previous experiments that doesnt work out to well. LOL

MISTA FIESTA · 21-05-2009, 07:11 PM

You should be able to runn the pipe to the middle lower grille with no probs. Had it done in the WP and doing it in the WQ XR4.

Its all completely sealed and everything is a very tight fit down there!!! The radiator takes up all the space.

MISTA FIESTA · 22-05-2009, 07:49 AM

Hmmmm let me investigate on the weekend as i did manage to get a pipe down there in the XR4, but im assuming there is a plastic bit covering the grille end from the inside. I just cant remember if this is the case on WQ LX + Zetec

Thanx mate. Much appreciate it, but from everything i have looked at and tried its just too hard to near impossible. But any ideas are appreciated and welcomed

Hey my new Fez has nearly arrived and my modding twitch will soon byte! I am thinking of starting off with just a KnN replacement filter (http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=33-2955 ?)

Should I drop it in as soon as I get the fez or wait a while to run it in with the stock filter?

kiwijohn42 · 03-07-2009, 12:21 PM

Go for it. I had a K&N in within the week of getting mine back in 06.

Vision Zetec · 14-07-2009, 10:05 PM

dammit, so after many phone calls, KnN have yet to release any to Australia for the WS Fiesta :(

zetec jim · 15-07-2009, 12:02 AM

so be the first WS to have a custom intake then :evil3:

Hi Vision Zetec any idea if they make one for our cars at all? ie can we buy from Europe and USA at least?

I'm after just a replacement panel K&N for my sister's 1.4L WS, I'll measure up the OE filter and see if it's the same as the ones listed under Fiestas.

love the many different pod setups posted in this thread!

I'm mucking around the same tonight on my little civic, going from a CAI setup to a SRI to suit a velocity stack setup which is supposed to speed up air speed by 10%.

Still need to rig up a air hose and some sort of heat shield, but so far car feels faster and a lot more responsive.

Twinpiston · 15-07-2009, 07:52 AM

Throw some pics up so we can see!!!

Yeah i've got a couple of emails going backwards and forth, ill keep you updated

One is whether or not a BMC replacement filter would fit, part #69-297-01

As i said, ill keep you updated

here is a link to what the Blox velocity stack looks like Twinpiston:

https://vexmotorsports.3dcartstores....it_p_3425.html

nothing rocket science about it, just a donut shaped device to smooth the intake air turbulence like intake mouths on webbers and throttle bodies, one day they would incorp this feature to all cheap pod filters.

will post some pics of my velocity stack air filter in my civic engine bay soon, you can see it's huge for a 1.6 NA car.

thanks, keep us posted and hopefully the 1.4L panel filter same as the 1.6L also.

EG30 · 16-07-2009, 05:35 AM

pic of my velocity stack air filter, as you can see it's very bulky, I'm going to route an air duct from the bumper to the round hole next to the air filter and see how that goes at the track, and try a whale plastic SRI with a normal pod filter to see which is better before I fabricate a heat shield for it.

NJM586 · 23-08-2009, 07:35 PM

Hey Guys

Most of you saw my last induction set up well after changing it back to stock i got bored and decided to change it again

with my last set up as well because the induction started down in the fog light bezal it felt very laggy at times heat factor so i changed it tell me what you think

Twinpiston · 23-08-2009, 10:27 PM

Have we got details of the equipment here, i.e where we can find this stuff? or is it still the custom stuff.

Ben85 · 24-08-2009, 12:38 AM

Mostly still custom mate, but there are a couple of brands that make ones to suit. K&N make one, Powertec make one. Or there is BMC.

InnerDevil · 31-08-2009, 12:11 AM

Hey Guys,

still new to the fiesta as I only just got it. Ive got a pod lying around and wondering:

1. How I would go about taking the plastic engine cover off because I tried taking the nuts off but it was still caught at the back (a brief step-by-step guide would be nice)

2. Will the existing piping coming from the throttle body stretch around a pod filter or is there a specific adapter to connect the intake piping to the pod.

3. Will there be enough clearance over the headers if I just twisted the stock piping 90 degrees clockwise so the pod rests near the battery? (many people on here seem to have done this kind of setup).

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Exactly wat you did, take all the bolts off and pull really hard, there are no bolts on the back, just plugs and they take some force to get off.

The existing piping should go over the neck of your pod filter

Yes it will turn 90 degrees but you will need a small silicone adapter where the stock pipe meets the throttle body to give it more clearance.
