Ok simply i go to powerbarn ask them for K&N Cai for euro (they order it) and also fit it in for a price i assume for me.

If you're settled on a K&N Typhoon (CAI) it would be best to go there equipped with a part number. I just checked the K&N Website for colour choices, and they no longer mention blue.

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...Prod=69-0025TP

They all have the same part number (69-0025TX), the difference being the last alpha character denoting the finish colour. P = Polish, R = Red, S = Silver

Above 3000rpm it gives the car a lot more urge all the way to redline. Not only will your butt feel it, but you'll deffinately hear the difference as well when you're WOT (Wide Open Throttle).

Below 3000rpm, you lose a little torque, and when you go WOT you're greated with a deep bassy burble as the RPM builds.

The throttle is more responsive and the power picks up quicker. Your 0-100 time should improve.

I'm speaking from experience with my Injen, I imagine the K&N will be much the same. It's one mod you will never look back on!

Loses some torue below 3000.... :( that makes me sort of change my mind about CAIs. Sounds like a side efefct. The euro loves to rev hard but im not sure after you said that. I also checked that dyno chart and do see the loss in the graph seems minor. Can you fellas assure me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the car meaning when is tart from stop and accelerate i will some how be disadvantaged due to the CAI.

With any CAI, you are abound to lose power on the low end of the RPM..

would taking off the resonator and getting direct piping straight to airbox help?

No you won't be at a disadvantage unless for some reason you've got the trailer hitch and plan to tow trailers. Then you'd have to rev the engine slightly high and slip the clutch a little more to take off smoothly. I've never understood Honda's and towing....anyway I digress...

If you're a traffic light street racer you might loose the initial launch unless you go from higher rpm, but once you're abouve 3000rpm you'll pull quicker and harder up to the time you change gear. (That sounds disgusting but for once that's not my intention ;) )

On a hill you may notice it, but it's never much fun climbing a grade at 2100rpm-2500rpm. If you're heavy with passengers it may be more apparent. Just do what most people do, and drop down a gear which will put you above 3000rpm, and you'll accelerate up the hill nicely.

The fact that the engine breaths much easier means it's also smoother, and a lot of the low rpm jerkiness is removed.

If you don't want to go the CAI route that's your choice. Nearly everyone will swear behind a CAI. If the below 3000rpm losses really get to you go for a Comptech Ice Box.

Just go for the K&N - you will be happy. The only reason I went Icebox is that I want to keep the noise levels down. Sometimes I need to meet clients in this car and whilst the noise of the Injen/K&N is fantastic it isn't me. I work in a conservative profession so I need to hide my boy racer side.

Those cars were made for the track.. The standard euro wasn't made for the track... The Euro R is a different story...

But there is nothing wrong with showing ur boy racers side even if u r a lawyer Yfin :p

Maybe you are right. I should put on a fat exhaust and drop the car on its ass.

By the way - good chance I will be heading out to Perth for 6 months soon - hopefully can meet up with the Perth Euro boys. :wave:

If you want the K&N Typhoon CAI kit... Search my posts in this forum about my Typhoon kit and in the Articles Section as well......

The euro already lacks that low end torque needed. Well "hopefully" The advantages will outweigh the disadvantages. But i was thinking you lose some grubt below and 3000 and you gain some above 3000, wouldnt that even it out basicaly interms of 01-100 times.?
