205 With Vts/gti6 Engine, What Air Filter Are You Using

[Keljon 7]

what filter/induction kit are people using? my car came with a bodged air filter and breather setup so keen to get something decent fitted to protect the engine and stop the oily smell in the car.

im not sure what you mean

[Keljon 7]

that kit seems fairly pricey when i would have thought all you need is the filter or is there some additional stuff in the kit? any idea on the size of the TB?

k&n filters dont come cheap you get the cold air feed pipes and a bracket to fix the filter to something stoping it hanging the waiting to fall off

 

if you mean the size of the inlet? i think its 3" as i have some 3" hose that fits well on it

ITG JC40 - But I've a slighty different arragement

 

Previously I used a GTi6 K&N cone filter coming off a 3 inch or so section of 76mm silicone hose and removed the resonator box and bunged the hole. Sounded like:

i run the standard vts hose arangement with a pipercross filter on the end. its a fiesta zetec filter which i got for a fiver from halfords as it was old stock but its about the same size as the gti6 one. dont spend a fortune on one as its not worth it, just order one which fits the inlet size.

[MiniGibbo 142]

If fit the largest cone filter i could as far away from the engine as i could.

[Keljon 7]

any chance of a pic? i didnt fit my engine so not sure what the standard hose arrangement looks like

I will bring the subject back becasue I am just about to fit Pipercross filter to my GTI6/VTS engine. At the moment I have something like this

 

 

 

Can I short this rubber piece off and fit samco straight reducer instead ?

 

 

At the moment there is some small size silicone hose going back to the manifold, can I just get rid of this ?

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

You can do away with the T piece on the inlet pipe yes and have a filter coming off the ICV.

[Para 82 2 Cars]

And just block the end part ? or leave it open ? What is the diameter coming out from the manifold ?

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

If you want to use a hose like you've pictured without a T piece for the ICV, it will be unfiltered so you'd ideally need to put a filter on the end of the then redundant thin blue hose you already have.

[Para 82 2 Cars]

something like this ?

 

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

Yeah.

 

Here's how mine looked.

 

 

I will dig out the invoice for my filter and give you the appropriate size for a standard ICV hose. Your existing blue one may be slightly different though.

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

This is the filter I bought to suit the standard ICV pipe

Ahh I see it now, I will do something similar, just need to buy that small breather filter and I will cut the blue silicone hose a bit to suit. Thanks a lot for help !

[Para 82 2 Cars]

Can somebody help me out and give me a diameter at the end of the inlet in GTI6 ? I hope to pop over to the shops today and tomorrow and unfortunately I will not be able to check it myself until the weekend. Anyone have the manifold out in the garage ?

Cheers,

Mike

The throttle body has an OD of 76mm do you'll need a hose with an ID of 76mm
