wayneone Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hello there.Ive been considering a induction kit on my 106, After looking at a few photots of some engins with them fitted ive noticed that the heat sheild over the engin(or exhaust?) manifold is cut off and the flexy pipe leading from it is removed. Will this mean that the heating system in the car wont work as thats where it sucks air from?(or so i thought it did)Anyone who has one or knows there stuff please fill me in Ive put a image below of a saxo but as there the same engin it wont matter.

wayneone Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ok so could you perhaps explain why the heat sheild and flexy pipe are there?(Yes i understand what you mean about not getting a kit thanks for not lecturing me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The shroud and pipe from around the exhaust manifold are there to give a bit of warm air to the engine when it needs it. As you drag air through the induction system, the drop in pressure causes the temperature to drop. On cold, damp days, this can lead to ice forming in the carb/injection bodies (I can assure you this isnt much fun, my car did it like crazy till I got a shroud and pipe sorted out). The little bit of heat that's given up to the air by the exhaust manifold is enough to stop the ice forming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy P Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 http://www.ecosse-peugeot.co.uk/show_product.asp?id=1128You want one of these, enclosed kit so no rude boi noise and no heatsoak.I've had a bit of experiance with these. I had to fit one to a S1 Rallye with a 16ver in it. The S1's need slight modification to fit (Have to trim the front a bit).He originally had a massive open cone filter in the engine bay sucking in hot air and the difference between them really was night and day. The engine would pick up much quicker and felt more responsive.Still gives a nice little growl but not overly noisy.Surprisingly, an induction kit that actually works.Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendee Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 yeah the 106's respond really well to induction kits the standard one is really restrictive, ive read people saying they was really suprised that it made such a difference.i was gonna get a 106 and still might if the car i want is sold before i can get it and if i do a induction kit like derf posted is one of the first things i will do.

moza Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 it schould still work as the heater uses heat from the liquid cooling system, the pipe you are speaking of is to help the car run in cold weather moza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
