Xxer Clutched February 10, 2004 Author Share February 10, 2004 I fitted this kit to test and confirm the theory abt hot/cold air. There hv been a lot of talk abt how hot air = power loss. Here's my honest evaluation: After installing, there's an obvious increase in power, as in pick-up, throttle response and pulling power. Collected my car late afternoon, and traffic was not exactly smooth. Can feel the acceleration!! But weather not hot, so immediate feel very subjective. In evening, drove to fren's hse in Woodlands. Along Ave 12 (long straight road), drag the car all the way to redline. Before: Very sluggish, got difficulty reaching redline, run out of breath after 4500rpm. After: Power comes in after 3500 and pull all the way to 6000rpm, tho after 5500rpm can feel power lost. Every gear change now comes with a "blow of valve" sound alike. Next day, under hot sun, I can feel the power not as pronounce as nite time. But when pushed, car still pull away stressless. Verdict: Not as bad in hot weather, despite sucking in all the hot air. Lost some low-end torque, 2000 - 2500rpm. But for $280 incl installation, its the best mod so far!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxer Clutched February 10, 2004 Author Share February 10, 2004 Yes, its connected. If its not, the ECU will go haywire. Xsara WRC? I'm working towards that. Afterall, not pple here mod a Citroen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhb9 Neutral Newbie February 12, 2004 Share February 12, 2004 Its a breather.Used to vent the crank case pressure. It replaces the hose running from the valve cover to the intake pipe. This eliminates oil entering the intake path Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
