air intake

hello from Greece!!

i will try to explain what i want easy !

i have carisma1600 99-00 facelift and i want an air intake system!!


what someone to suggest something for me? where can i find the better solution!!

thank you

if you have the facelift model you should have an air intake as shown on the picture... if not, the parts can be ordered on the internet...
in my opinion absolutely sufficient for this engine..

yes i have this engine !

better air intake system where i can find? someone here dont put another air ir intake system?

Of course you have the ability too mount a "high flow air filter" or such stuff (just look on ebay), but it won't increase your engine power.
It will produce more noise and maybe it you'll loose some power, because your engine will have to breathe the warm air from your engine bay.

If you want a cold air intake, you will have to build it yourself. To my knowledge, there is no cold air intake espeacely produced for the Carisma.

So what you are exactly searching for? "Better" has a elastic definition.
More power? Leave your stock air intake in your car, all other options won't increase your engine power.
More sound? Take a universal air filter and mount it instead of your air box.

thank you my friend

the other member here and you of course what air intake you have for better ??

The most of us still have the stock air intake. Excluded those who wants hear their engine breathing.

There are two reasons:
The first is, in germany it's not allowed to install any part you want. There are possibilitys to legalize it, but they are expensive and it needs time and effort.
The second reason is, you have no advantage to the stock air intake. The stock air intake has the perfekt dimensions for the stock engine. As long as you don't increase your engine power in an extreme way (more than 30%), there is no reason to change it. The engine won't run faster or consume less fuel.

Thanks for your valuable advice!!

You're welcome

perhaps the "k&n 57i kit" is an option for you.. but as furious said, you won't increase your engine power, either decrease your gas consumption.. it will just increase your engine sound..

i will have problem to maff sensor maybe?

maybe... k&n filters are treated with an oil... too much oil can have a negative effect to the sensor on long time... perhaps some other guys can tell you more about this..

but as written above, there is no need to change the air intake..
