Hi all.
I fitted a somota cone filter yesterday and nou the cars going worse again, should i take it back to the dyno or what? Back to toppic, ive noticed a lot of feul is lying on top of my intake underneath the injectors so obviously they are leaking witch i think can be half of my problem. The question now bothering me is if i replace them witch size do i go for seeing that i yust have the filter, zorst and unichip. I dont think ill be doing much more than that to the ca settup.
Thanx
unless you can modify your management you should stick with the same size injectors.
and...
if you have a fuel leak like that then you should definitely invest in a FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
its kak watching your car burning down on the side of the road! and murphy likes to pick on us SX owners!
So whats the standard injectorsize for my ride? O and do you have a contact for FIRE EXTINGUISHERS(smallish lack of space).
autozone, midas, builders warehouse for fire extinguishers. go for a 1.5kg one at a minimum.
stock injectors are 370cc.
if you can upgrade (have editable management) then rotary injectors are a direct fit and are 550cc. very nice upgrade!
Wount i be able to run them of the uni-chip?
Yes you would be able too, the car also goes worse now because your air fuel ratio is out because of the filter letting through more air....
Yes i realise im getting more air through but shouldnt my AFM pick that up relay it to my ECU witch will then do the nessesary?
In a perfect world that must happen but you must realise that the chip now tells the ECU what to do, it still takes the info and adjusts but it was set on a sertain map witch is now diffarent....
So then it doesnt point to a faulty AFM?
It could and also to a dirty one....still remember that all the sensors will only adjust to sertain parameters...not more....if you are over that a brand new AFM won't bypass those parameters...
Will i still get the right dianostic codes with the unichip in place?
Yes you would...

I got one at game for something like R150... Fits nice in the passenger footwell....
Thats one hot renault. 😂
@Chem: Are you saying i should stick to the standard airbox?
I'd say stick to the standard airbox. Unlike NA cars, the turbo actually sucks in air, and while you will still get a gain from some non-filtering filter, it will not be noticable (except psychologically). And also, these engines are muffled by all the intake goodies so you won't get that sound that you do from a NA car, although you might hear some turbo flutter if you're into that kinda thing...
You're also trading off a little power gain with a lot of reduced longevity. The weaker the air filter, the more damage your air flow meter takes. And that costs over R4000 to replace. I've seen piece of glue come off from aftermarket filters - if that goes through your AFM, it could damage it permanently. IT could also hit your turbo while it's spinning at full speed, unbalancing the shaft and doing lots of damage in the process.
I agree with Toby, stay with the standard box, what I do not agree with is the aftermarket filter that brakes off a piece of glue or anything for that matter of fact....this can happen with any filter, if you use a good filter like BMC or K&N and use it the right way, oil and so forth, you won't have any problems.
That is my opinion, I have been using a BMC filter now for almost 2 years...
I think a cone filter is great just use a quality one, K&N or BMC or something.
Hi Draco
Are you rumming a inbox BMC?
Im also trying to free up space for the plumming of a FMIC.
Gary i would like to run K&N or BMC the thing is that i wasnt sure about the size of the adaptor and because of that i yust got the same brand of filter. I was looking at BMC but the nearest size was a 76mm where the somota i think is a 70mm.
