Benefits of Clio V6 airbox

[Wests Renault]

What are the benefits/gains of the clio V6 airbox? I hear lots of people talking about them but not sure if it is worth the effort. I can get one cheap so may do it if there are gains to be had.

like mosts mods this side of £500 on the Clio...mixed views bu more positive than neg. Gains are small but more lower to mid grunt and induction noise. Car would need mapping after it so you can put £300 on top of costs....

You're very close to TDF!

Would it really need a remap after changing the airbox? I thought that was the point of AFM that the standard map accounts for the fluctuation in air coming in!

Do the Clio CUP racers not have a V6 airbox?

I know I've been there for a couple of the rolling road days and heard good things about their work

With the V6 box you have to install the battery in the boot right?

Is this correct?

Doesnt need to be the boot but it does need relocated elsewhere.

Mark has his battery re-located to under the passenger seat. Looked like a neat installation. Obviously he had to buy a smaller battery to.

Al see if I can find the pics.

There you go:

For n-th time :

Clio with:
Miltek, K&N panel filter and remap
VS
Miltek, V6 airbox and remap (the same one)



It's not just the peak power but the power/torque increase at lower rpms.

In this setup (Miltek, V6 airbox and remap) my car ran great.


P.S. The "REMAP" is the same before & after the remap (I didn't remap the car to suit the V6 airbox).

im pretty sure if you can get one of them smaller/thinner batteries you can get away with just removing the batterys box/cover. im not 100% thou.

 

[Mike Roberts]

If you remove the resonator that sits below the battery box, I reckon you could get a small battery in there??
