How To Fit An Induction Kit/Air Filter + Pics

[Bump]

Air filter replacement

Easy peesy to do! :D Illustrations shown as for a Pipercross Viper, other makes are fitted the same way.

Undo the metal hose clip and unclip the breather pipe

Disconnect the small air feed from the resonator box to the air filter box

There is a small twist screw to the left of the airbox that holds that it (mine is missing)

The Airbox will now lift out after twisting it off the intake manifold at the top.

The resonator box at the front of the car is just clipped in loosly, basically pull upwards, this is what it looks like with both bits removed :

Now attach the Viper to where you took the OEM filter off and tighten screw up, not forgetting to clip to breather on too.

At the other end you really need a cold air feed pipe to get the most out of the Viper, cold air works better than warm of course! Be careful of the green connector in the picture below, if you disturn it too much you can activate an engine warning light and need to go to Citroen to get it reset!

The other end can be put where you like really, a common place is down where the resonator box was in front of the battery.

Hope this helps, Bump.

[Maleko]

stickyfied

btw, my air feed looks different to urs :P (standard one)

The air intake pipe on my VTS dosn't go into a resonator box at all.

Looks the same BUT it just has an open end (facing the side of the car) where yours bends down into the resonator box.

Is this right? Always thought it was a bit strange, because it's not a great way of getting air to the engine. Facing sideways?

[BrammeR]

pick please dannywill ;)

VTS intake:

[Bump]

Does the VTS still have a resonator box under the inlet then or is it mounted on the car itself ?

[Maleko]

aint a clue, have to ask someone who has removed it i guess?

[Ry_C2_Loeb]

thats odd the loebs intake heads down behind the radiator

[Maleko]

thats odd the loebs intake heads down behind the radiator
guess wat....PIC!?

or do u mean the same as the VTR? (as shown in first post)

[Ry_C2_Loeb]

Ye thats what i mean which is why I am saying it is odd as you would thin it would be the same as the VTS intake

[Maleko]

yeh, that is very strange...i'll have to take a look, see wats under it :P

[Ry_C2_Loeb]

you never know what you might find under there!

[Timbobuk]

My Code is the same as the VTS. The resonator box is under the inlet. The resonator is clipped onto the back of the radiator!


thats odd the loebs intake heads down behind the radiator

My friends Loeb is the same as the VTS and the Code!? Ry your Loeb is special! 8O

[Maleko]

yet another random citroen deal....LOL

[Bump]

Not a difference between mk1 and mk2 perhaps ?

[Maleko]

cant be if his loeb goes down, but the code and mine are open to the side.

very strange...

[C2GT18]

depends what mood the guy was in when he built the car lol !

[Timbobuk]

depends what mood the guy was in when he built the car lol !

Lol, funny and true!

[Ry_C2_Loeb]

course mine is special i drive it :)

[dannywill]

Mine is just like the pic Maleko posted.

Seems strange to me thet the air intake is facing sideways, surely it would get cooler air facing forwards?

[C2GT18]

yeah his is odd look at his dip stick too ! ITS BABY BLUE LOL

[RAY-C]

Mine is just like the pic Maleko posted.

Seems strange to me thet the air intake is facing sideways, surely it would get cooler air facing forwards?

[Bean1.1]

ive just but a air filter on 2day but theres now nowhere to connect the breather valve does it need to be connected or it ok not to be?

joe

[elniniol999]

youll need to buy a filter for the oil breather then. you can get them most places tbh, even in halfrauds. its just like a small mushroom filter that sits on the pipe that the breather tubing connects to

[JonnyW]

As the insurance won't let me have an IK.. Would it do much removing the resonator box?

I've heard they restrict it quite alot, and it looks like if you take it off.. You'll have a pipe straight into the airbox.

I've a green cotton panel filter on order so hopefully that'll flow better than the standard one.

[Bean1.1]

rite i got a breather filter and i have pushed it into the clip, do i need to take the clip part off or what do i have to do to make it sucure casue at the min i think it will fall off

[Willsta_GT]

Great guide! I bought a pipercross viper the other day, should arrive today I hope :D

[roebuckfurio]

wouldn't happen to know what size elbow i'd need to fit over the resonator would you?

[rhys]

Does anybody know how to remove the 'resonator box' from the VTS? as i cant fit the cold air feed
