Mik3 Registered: 06/08/10 Posts: 397	Hi Guys, Right I know how annoying it is when someone joins a forum and asks for loads of things that have been posted thousands of times but.... I am getting my ST in the enxt week or so and am already looking at possible mods! Has anyone got a link to useful threads on what induction kits/exhausts to get? Maybe showing a few different options for different budgets? Cheers! _________________________

Just wondered if there was a sticky explaining all the different induction kits. Looks like everyone is going with the K&N So i will be getting that one me thinks _________________________

Mik3 Registered: 06/08/10 Posts: 397	Looks ok for the price! I am going to get in contact with a bloke who does tuning for a few other cars and see if he can custom make a kit for the ST He does all sorts of kits and bits for mainly fiats and his results are a lot better than other brands! http://www.gsrengineering.com/ _________________________

ST_Lee Site Supporter Registered: 17/09/08 Posts: 8873 Loc: Blackpool	There are a couple of other options, but the majority of people go with the K&N. Slight power increase and gives a good sound when you boot it _________________________

Mik3 Registered: 06/08/10 Posts: 397	Quote: if your thinking of custom made, these are a little better http://www.mountunestore.com/Product/Fiesta-ST-Cold-Air-Intake-System Hmmm it looks very similiar to the K&N kit! I think I will just go with the norm for now! I am still in contact with the person at GSR engineering to see what he can do with any tuning bits. They also work closely with red dot who remap cars and used to do before and after runs on Fiats with a remap for about £200. _________________________

YellowBadge MountooningTipster Registered: 26/08/07 Posts: 11640 Loc: here	http://www.mountuneperformance.co.uk/ probably the first ever tuning kit approved by a main dealer that did not affect existing warranty. Many years of testing to develop and faultless package proven time and time again to output the figures. Go down this road if your still in warranty or go down this road if you want high quality reliable products/gains or go down this road if you want a one-stop package. The prices do compare with other kits from other tuners and MY use a legal sports Cat too. Stage 1 165bhp 200nm of low down torque 0-60 7.2 Stage 2 185bhp 20012 of top end pulling power 0-60 7.1 Stage 3 prototype just been announced this weekend better spread of torque 200-210bhp _________________________ MR200 Stage 3 200PS Evans Halshaw Mountune Pro

Duncan_P Site Supporter Registered: 09/11/09 Posts: 8421 Loc: Wincanton, Somerset	Dont talk to Kaxe, he'll end up trying to convince you to supercharge . What you do to it depends on what you want out of your car. If your just trying to free the engine up a bit, you want a K&N and maybe a new manifold. Then add a new exhaust, cams and remap. Don't remap until you have finished modding otherwise it's a waste of money. Unless your minted I suppose If you still want more power have a look at a supercharger and/or throttle bodies but consider that with this much extra power you'll need a new clutch, brakes and ideally a new diff Or to keep things simple, just do what Steve suggested and go to Mountune! _________________________ Flickr

Duncan_P Site Supporter Registered: 09/11/09 Posts: 8421 Loc: Wincanton, Somerset	I'd buy mountune with my money, they always hit the power output they state. Everyone seems to be a bit hit and miss about what final power output you have _________________________ Flickr

YellowBadge MountooningTipster Registered: 26/08/07 Posts: 11640 Loc: here	I'm here, the MT exhaust is rorty but not loud or boy racer, no way I wanted that and now I have it very pleased it turned out fine. Off throttle as quiet as standard car, only roars when you plant it, motorway completely fine below 70mph, bit noisy 70 and above but then you will like the singing manifold as you zip past someone with a short prod of the fast pedal and listen to the tunes it makes. Good news is that the current MT exhausts are Miltek and quieter than the original "CLF" systems that us early moutuners got first time around. _________________________ MR200 Stage 3 200PS Evans Halshaw Mountune Pro

sakky69 Registered: 04/08/10 Posts: 741 Loc: Edinburgh, Scotland	Hahaha Lee! Nissan Micra was my first car, i have plenty of pics of anyone wants to see, my mate had a type r and one day put the badge on without me noticing, was too funny to take it off, got some funny looks. god i miss that car... Anyway a wee bit off topic. But IMO, im going to get a Milltek catback, then the manifold, then either a K&N or Mountune CAIS, maybe some cams and finally a remap. Hopefully get 30+ bhp out of the engine. Sorting the aesthetics out first though... _________________________ I used to have a micra with a Type-R badge...dont judge me.
