P11 1.6Si

[PrimeSi]

I got a P11 1.6Si on a Preg (1997), K&N do an idution kit for the 1996 modal but not fro the 1997, is there an diffrence in the engins and would he idution kit fit mine?

1996 was the change-over year between P10 and P11. What you are probably seeing is the induction kit for the P10. As for whether it'll fit, I doubt it. The P10 to P11 was a fairly major model upgrade, so it's probably changed a lot.

Have a look around the previous threads - from what I remember several people have fitted induction kits. As for replacement filter, there is one from K&N, but they don't list it. I've got a RAMAir in mine, but I wouldn't particually recommend them.

Thanks mate; I will have a look round. Would not suppose you know on a full system exhaust that is designed for the 1.6 as all the ones I can fined are made for the GT.

I'm afraid I haven't got a clue about the 1.6 - most of the aftermarket stuff is for the 2.0 or 1.8 engines.

Just out of curiousity, however, what is the model number of your engine? Is it a GR16DE or SR16?

Depending which engine you have, depends on how you can modify. If it's the GR16DE, this was fitted to sunnys and also the 100nx. Best bet would be to look for spares for these cars - there's more market in these areas. If it's the S engine, have a look at almeras.

For the primeras, I think the majority of aftermarket stuff comes from the states, where I doubt they sell the 1.6 and therefore wouldn't supply for it. Best bet is to find another car with the same engine, then leach off their aftermarket stuff.

I suppose one option would be to find a scrap GT and steal it's exhaust and air intakes. You'll probably have to do some DIY to get them to fit, but they would probably be as good as aftermarket stuff on a 1.6.

GA16de is the MPI Model.
And I think there are no differences between the GA16de in the P10/P11...

theres a good chance you may be able to fit the K&N kit for the GT on your P11 ...need to look at a pic of your engine though....

Here is a pic of the engine, sorry about the long loading time (saying that i hope it works) but is a big file. Thanks for any assistance.

i used to have a GA14DE almera which is basically the same engine but smaller. Heres what you can do.

when it comes to the filter, you have 2 options.
1, you can remove the plastic intake pipe from the side of the air box. Just pull it out and unbolt/unclip from any of its supports. then just bin it. Now, the opening left on the airbox is about 2 " i think, just find a cone filter that has the same diameter neck and clamp in on. Thats it, apart form maybe installing some tubing to flow some cool air in that direction.

2, this is a bit trickier. you can ramove the whole airbox, by unclamping the jubille clip between the bottom of the box and throttle body. Disconnect the VC breather pipe. Now you need a VC Breather filter, and also some mandrel bend pipe and silicone joins. The idea is to replace the box with a length of stainless steel tubing, so first youre gonna need a right angle bend, then some straights. Now you can mount the filter as far forward as you want by extending the pipe as you please.

To be honest, theres not a lot you can do with your GA16DE to get loadsa power, but you could always do this.

OH and Welcome to the forum

Well the problem on this Turbo kit are the brakes for sure.
They´d have to be modified too. With this lots of money you could buy a (e)GT i ithink.

[ragt20]

yes you could very easily buy an eGT but you still won't have the same power gains

[[NSM] P10]

Well that might be right but a friend of mine owns a P10eGT (still stock engine) and we won a little "race" on the A4 against a Vauxhal Astra GSi (around 160PS).
Best was: Our P10 had to do that with 4passenges, the Astra with one person only...

That was quite impressive for me

[ragt20]

yep I don't doubt that at all cause, these cars are pretty good even with relatively simple mods....

at the end of the day depends what you're after and how much money you got to burn

[PrimeSi]

as much as i want a turbo, i will wait till i can get a GT, this car i will just tinker with and see what can be done. I went to Trax today, fantastic but needs a Primera stand.

[ragt20]

Hey I was there to today...some very nice cars....did ya see some of the Primeras at the NTOC section.....though I had come in my uncles GTi-R

[PrimeSi]

I messed them, mined you i got there late. Did see lots of GTRs and my friend had her 2.0L Fiesta there. If you got some good pics show them on your web site.

Ps: ragt20, hope you don’t mined me advertising you web site
