K & N Panel Filter or Induction Kit??

[monkeynuts]

I've swapped my standard filter for an ITG filter.
Coming Saturday my THP will be on the RR again to see if there is an improvement

Standard my THP gave already 169,1 HP and 280nm (206,5 lb/ft) of torque

169Bhp ............are we in the Uk suffering from the Bhp exchange rate as well

[Fabian]

OK, sorry
My THP gave 169,1 PK (Dutch for Horsepower)
169,1 Pk is 166,7 (B)HP

Thats still good are they not 150 bhp standard

Dont want to hyjack the thread but does anyone know if ITG,Pipercross,Green do panel filters for 1.6 VTi. I cant find them listed on their websites,maybe a different model will fit?

No, they're at least 156bhp. It even says on Citroen's site they're 115kw (155.7bhp) The engine is called THP150, not the BHP!

Can you get K&N induction kit for HDI, if so where from? I tried there website but didnt give me any info

So, I've bin to the tuningcompany again today to see If my new ITG filter would make any difference in performance.
First I need to say that the guy who tested the DS3 last time picked the wrong figures. The big boss was there today and showed me the correct figures.

Last time the power output was:
165,5 Hp @ 4711 rpm
295 nm @ 2522 rpm

New figures with the ITG filter are:
170,9 hp @ 4778 rpm
307 nm @ 2377 rpm

So, there is an increase in performance, even with some slight higher temperatures outside (last time it was 20 degrees and now 24 degrees) :cool:
Will post de graph by monday, when I can make a scan at my work.

What you can see in the graph is that the standard Intercooler is too small in higher rpm's.
Also you can see that the ECU is constantly trying to keep the boost at the same level.

What's the part number for the ITG filter for the THP?

Fabian's statement is quite right i think, a panel filter will give 4-6bhp max. However i think there are a lot more gains if you go for a bigger intercooler and a panel filter such as k&n or pipercross etc you will notice a lot more difference in power gains

[dave_beast]

I got 10bhp from a Pipercross cone with custom cold air feed

[Fabian]

What's the part number for the ITG filter for the THP?

Stef

The number is ITG WB-432
Same as a Mini Cooper S and Peugeot 207 RC

This is correct.
What you can see in the graph is that the intercooler is stugling with the temperatures.
That's why the torque is going down quick after 4500rpm

[Stef]

Thanks for the part number.

I noticed the intercooler has it's own fan, I wonder if it would benefit if you set the fan to cut in at a lower temperature.

-Old thread revival-
Did anyone decide which one would be the best?

Hi-are you saying the installation of a panel air filter ONLY increase the bhp from 155 to 171 and torque from 240 to 307Nm.
Im a bit sceptical
