Astra H VXR induction kits. Replaces the crossover so it's always known
as a direct route induction kit on Astra H's and Astra GSI's it replaces
the aluminium crossover pipe and kind of Direct routes the air from the air
filter to the turbo. Traditionally it was always too kind of remove a
flat spot but realistically they kinda need mapping in any kind of changes
to the airflow need mapping in but what this does do it gets rid of
the air box opens up all that induction noise is bigger bore,
so obviously more airflow.
The bigger the bore the better and it's a direct fit kit you don't
need anything else for other than what we supplied to you. The two
different kits we offer with breather and without breather now this
breather traditionally would go from the direct route round the back
of the cambelt into the cam cover so some people choose to run that kind of kit.
Which goes on to the spout here and some people rather run without a
breather and then run a catch tank setup or something else entirely
like you just vented to atmosphere which we probably wouldn't recommend
but plenty of people do it. All our kits come with the JS performance
couplers with the black internal and then any colour on the outside.
And then the oil breather on the kit with breather.
It's actually an oil resistant liner in there so it is oil resistant.
It's not oil proof they don't last forever unfortunately.
It's kind of one of the issues of silicone, it really depends on the milage of the
car, but it will start to discolour over time again the Astra H VXR is a
heavy breather they do pushed out quite a lot of oil out of these cam
cover breathers so it does tend to discolour the silicone if you don't want that
the easiest thing is just go for black cause black never discolours.
Both options are stainless steel pipework Tig welded now the reason we
use stainless steel over alloy, would be better for an air intake but
the new stainless steel is because we want to use a tight radius bend
off the turbo now.
Sorry onto the turbo what you see with a lot of other kits, kits that
have come out since hours trying to replicate it, is they sit really high in the engine
bay and the reason he do that.
Is because they're alloy pipework and with the aluminium it's a
lot more expensive to produce it with a tight radius bend here, so the
whole pipe overall sits higher up in the engine bay and then it pretty
much always rubs on the bonnet is pretty well known that those two or
three they all tend to come from China they're all manufactured probably
by the same factory.
They just don't fit very well and if anything its given this kit a bad name
over the years but this is the only kit that fits properly tight radius
bend onto the turbo the whole kit sits nice and low it doesn't really,
only about inch higher than the cam cover so it's really nice low profile in looks great
in the engine bay, because it's not sticking up really high again.
It's another reason why we've gone for the kind of design couples, we've
gone for, a very short transition between the turbo compressor cover
diameter and then the pipework diameter.
It's very short reducer in there to keep the whole kit lower in the
engine bay, so that's pushed on there the whole thing is kind
of from turbo to the top much shorter than other kits you see, currently
There are three different air filter options you got the ITG one and
then you got the two Ram-Airs so the first Ram-air is the most popular one it's
just a standard foam filter.
Dual layer foam, stainless steel internal wire meshing to give it
the structure and then a nice polymer molded base. We've used these
filters for probably 3 or 4 years now and the original ones were known
for splitting at the neck quite a bit most of the time it was because
they've been tightened down a bit too tight so the clip starts to dig
in and then it kind of causes a cut which over time starts to tear
but they've solved that now using a much thicker much stronger material which is
much more durable to these ram-air filters are a pretty much As Good as
It Gets now.
Really we offer both of the ram-air options this one is called the
pro-ram to this is cotton gauze style filter, that have become quite popular
over the last 18 months / two years and rubber base and then the cotton
and gauze with alloy anodised end
and all their branding on which they look really nice these filters
probably one of the most aesthetic air filters you can get, obviously these look great.
these are a really aesthetically pleasing air filter. So all our kits all of
our kits.
Not just induction kits any kind of coolant hose kits.
We sell or anything, all come with JCS hi-grip stainless steel clip.
So these are not cheap hose clips as hose clips.
Go as a lot out there.
These are definitely on the expensive side, but once you start to
compare them.
It's one of those things it's like when she starts compare hose clips.
It might sound a little bit silly, but you can see why these are a lot
more expensive.
The worm Drive portion is really thick really robust stainless steel, so you
really can't over torque them.
They've got a nice radius on the inside edge, so when you really start to
tighten and although they really can clamp into the silicon.
They don't actually start to cut it at all so again when you've had
that on there for a couple of years and you take it off there will be an
indentation of where it's been in there, but it won't won't like cut
into it all.
