Saxo VTR induction kit?

Nope. All it will do is suck in warm air from the engine bay, but will give you a nice throaty roar sound that will make you feel like you're driving a fire breathing monster ;-)

None.

Buy a better car with a bigger engine...preferably not a Saxo.

Ta, G.

Ever driven a 'hot' Saxo? As a nippy runaround for younger types, they're great, they handle well, and they go well. They just have a bad rep (mainly from people who've never driven one...)

My neighbourhood drugs dealer drives one.

The message from "Andy K" contains these words:

It'll probably make lots of noise - if that's the sort of thing you like then you'll like that sort of thing.

His mark-up must be low! I heard about one (know, I don't know him) that paid cash for an RS6...

Nope.

On a Saxo, you might get a slight change in the throttle response from a jazzy replacement filter for the standard airbox. It still won't actually make your car any noticeably faster.

Personally I wouldn't bother with any sort of induction kit, as many of the Peugeots and Citroens I have worked on actually have some form of cold air induction as standard, usually a dirty big pipe into the air filter housing from somewhere in front of the radiator. I don't have direct experience of a 2001 Saxo VTR though.

In order of cheapness/easyness to do: Fit a tyre/wheel combo which has a smaller overall circumference. Fit a gearbox with lower ratios. Engine swap (wouldn't go there, just buy the VTS like you actually wanted in the first place you cheapskate (c; ). Forced induction.

He can't be very good at dealing drugs if his weapon of choice is a Saxo. (c;

No, an induction kit won't. You'll get a noisy roar, hot air, and probably slower performance. Especially afterbeing sat in traffic where heatsoak will be worst.

The single limiting factor on both the VTR and VTS is the crap stock manifold and exhaust system.

Fitting a decent 4-2-1 manifold and system will release 10-15bhp on both engines. Throw in a live-mapped chip and this will be 5-8hp more with abig boost in the mid-range torque.

Alas none of this is cheap. Around a grand.

Tim..

pfft

local dealer up our way has a m3 csl

gallon of petrol

box of matches

and change from a tenner including buying the can :)

Dude, you're not in a position to mock ANYONE's car :)

Ours runs a Clio Williams. On his third gearbox apparently.

I havn't even read the rest of the replies here but i'm assuming they will all be pisstakes.

There are only a feew induction kits worth buying and they aren't cheap.

2 - BMC carbon enclosed

Expect to pay £150-£200 and you will still only see a very small increase in performance (when I had a green enclosed on my sax it saw about 3bhp) (yay!!)

As the other have no doubt told you, on a car like yours, the cone style inductuion kits are a waste of time....they simply make noise.

My old VTS suprised a lot of people. Very nippy and handle amazingly.

Cams+remap+enclosed induction.

Mason

All VTR and VTS saxos have this, the are set up quite well.

If you have the money then ...

2 - Go to the lads at pug-performance and have throttlebodies, cams and a remap. Or a supercharger (rotrex) if you have money coming out of your ears, very fast but break a lot.

Mason

All of the above is sound advice. I couldn't believe the bore of the exhaust system on mine when I took it off, it was tiny.

Mason

Arg! I can't believe I posted that aberration! I of course meant "no, I don't know him".

andyt

No.

The increase will be zero.

But it'll sound nice, and look nice in the engine bay, and won't need replacing every service.

Part-exchange it for a Saxo VTS. It will cost you anywhere from £0 upwards, depending on year/mileage etc.

Er, if you've got the money for that lot, then you don't drive a Saxo VTR !
