leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 only problem is i think its missing the gasket !?!? not too sure , and a screw is missing should be 7 not 6 but i reckon it should be okay if not i ll order spare crews off their site and the gasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Is that the version 1 one? Bits for it look a bit different from mine, the gasket should be some type attached to the bottom is on mine, not sure ifthey skipped that onthe v1. at least you got some install tools You'll hear a nice wooooshy sound after you install that and the engine will be a bit cooler then before. You going for a tune or just installing for looks and sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You can buy an engine cover as well for this from Kinetix, it is larger than the stock one and fills the hole that is invariably left after the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Andlid - Yeah version one i believe i sent Protegimus a pm but i think hes still busy. on the site they do sell the gasket seperately but for $50 delivery when the thing costs $20 then im waiting to see if i really need one. the engine cover is this one i believe http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_35 ... cover.aspx, which im ordering next week when i get paid. planning to tune the engine my mind is pretty made up on going FI just cant decide supercharge or turbo route. but before that im getting some art pipe and a certain motordyne exhaust, which i reckon will make me one of the very few or even first to have that exhaust in the uk. . MLC35 - no problem mate taking it my mates in a hour so he can have a look at it, and see if i should get the gasket. and if its fitted ill post it up. Jay - Lol no chance unless you wanna give me say 550 glrnet - i take it you was gonna buy it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andlid Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You'll need a gasket unless you plan on using it on a tube, be aware that those things crack (v1) with higher boost pressure so might not be suited for FI. Think they warrant it at 15psi but not sure they'll take that. I got the v2 and it's warrantied to 30 which I'll never see... enjoy it! It's easy to fit too and you get more room in the engine bay upgrading other bits down the line too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 whay do you mean on the tube ( sorry still kind of new to tuning ) FI isnt going to be done till another two years, or until i know im going to graduate from uni with no problem. so you think its best not to put it on without the gasket atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plenum spacers sold use that normally including the use of the OEM one, It's easy to take it off though if the tube one doesn't work. Personally I'd go for the real gasket.

Thought they'd stopped producing that, think it'll be a bit loud Uprev tune on the cards to get the best out of the engine afterwards. You might want to figure out how to get the car through MOT without the cats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Spoke to mark from Abby he said he can get it, just hope he can gonna order it later next month 1.5 k is alot of money lol. Not worried about Mot my mate will sort that out. But the noise with the art pipes might actually cause deafness on motorway journeys. Seeing as the exhaust itself is ott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
