extra power?

[rich31]

how much extra will a k & n give me. i.e mpg and ps(bhp)

[MrMPuk]

What have you got now? Is there not graphs on the K&N website?

1.8 TDdi 54 plate.

standard for the tddi is 75ps with 175nm torque.

you will barely get any extra power-maybe a couple of brake. the filter will provide better engine breathing on the intake and the turbo should have improved response so i think you'll notice the difference in the meat of the torque zone and maybe a touch more induction roar. i'd say 80ps max and 185-190nm. it should feel noticeably torquier in cold weather!!!

the filter is probably the cheapest way to improve driveability but if your more a BHP man, then consider one of the many diesel tuning chip or plugs ins available which ought to get you up to 90ps and 220nm maybe more with the K&N too.

i think if your a tradesman who uses his van daily and are just looking for slightly better response/pick up/mid range then stick to a filter and forget horsepower figures afterall its your tool of trade-its just a van and any money spent could be considered dead money.......however some chips claim to improve MPG and give more power-that could be an excuse of sorts i suppose! for me its just the extra wallop needed when overtaking without the need to drop a gear.

you won't even notice it - save your money for a remap

thanks for that mate. will my fuel consumption increase? some people say yes others no

it may marginally increase, but it will be worth it

I put and K&N filter in my connect in the past week, fuel consumption actually seems to have risen a bit.

Am i doing something wrong??

you're probably just planting your foot down harder to see if there's a difference - get yourself a remap and see a real difference

Where would one go for a re-map?
