Fiesta ST Intake Thread

[Grizzlebees]

Seriously. I was stoked to see an intake for the 2016, until I saw the pic. Truth be told, I just wanna hear the turbo/BOV, so it's all vanity for me anyway, but damn, $200 for a MAF section and cone filter? That's cold-blooded.

So I broke down and bought one. I just wish it had come with a shoehorn to get my foot outta my mouth. $200 was a bit much, but I can hear the turbo and BOV now! It sounds awesome, I don't think I'll ever turn my radio on again. I'll try and talk my buddy into bringing his GoPro over to make a video so ya'll can hear it.

So, there's 3 different drop in air filters on the market. I assume they are all exactly the same, just manufactured by different companies? Is that correct? There's very little literature on any of them, and especially little comparing the 3.

From what I've read you're correct. The Cobb and Green Filter drop ins are both made by Green Filter if I remember right. I'm not sure if they are better than the K&N, but I noticed more folks seemed to go with the Green Filter.

So if you have a 2016, supposedly mishimoto is coming out with a pcv adapter so we can use existing intakes and also MAP keeps harping about how their 2016 fix is in and they are just manufacturing them. I'm waiting on them specifically because I already purchased their old intake not knowing about the 2016 change

After the concept adapter that Mishimoto posted it seemed like a no-brainer that MAP and all other pre-16' CAI makers should have planned it this way as well; for newcomers just include the adapter with the intake purchase. That said it would be easier for us to buy an adapter from MAP than exchange the entire thing.

Anyone seen this yet? I'm not sure how legit it is, I didn't see this product on Injen's website. I would be super sad in the pants if other companies went this route to avoid dealing with the new plug dealy thing on the 2016 intakes.

Like I've said before, if they make it people will buy. Damn shame if you ask me.

Has anyone got a Graham Goode Racing Induction kit (GGF5000)?

I have just bought one off my mate who has had it on his car for about 6 months, few questions..

Would this directly fit onto my standard engine. This is my first engine modification.

How are they to run daily, reliability ect.

Im not really looking for performance from the intake, just the noise more than anything. Realistically, what will the power increase be?

Thanks guys!

I can't speak for the GG in particular but any intake will net you barely noticeable gains (other than sound), if anything a slight uptick in throttle response.

But foremost, invest in a tune.

I was expecting that, the site claims 10hp, really cant see that being the case. Im just buying it for the noise.

Are these "POD" K&N Filters safe? Dont want my car getting grit in the engine...

 

[StormGaits]

I doubt you can go very wrong with a brand like K&N or Green (what I have); those types of filters are engineered knowing there's little to no protection between them and the open bay compared to your airbox filter.

There's actually only 2. Because COBB literally uses the Green Filter. I bought the COBB panel filter, and it says "greenfilterusa.com" on the panel. Besides the colour, it's the same product.

Mountune's MP215 intake kit uses K&N.

Hey guys, so now that I'm closing in on 1000kms on my FiST I'm wanting to do an intake for my first mod (besides my dead pedal lol). What kind of improvements, audible or performance wise, have you noticed with the mountune Full Induction set vs the others?

Be careful if you have a 2016. That intake is not compatible. In fact, really no intake worth buying currently works with the 2016. You'd be wise to just wait for the Mishimoto 2016 intake pre-sale to go live and buy that if you really want an intake for a 2016.

 

[WPG-FiST]

I bought a 2015 on inventory clearout! I'm mostly looking for a balance between performance and being able to hear the turbo/blowoff as the cops in my city are cracking down on BOVs on cruise nights this summer... So something that keeps it cool and makes it easier to hear those beautiful sounds is all I want!

Won't affect noise much. Mountune's intake retains the closed box, so it will probably work better than a pod filter intake, but you don't get the sound.

Installed the CP-E CAI and wanted to give my opinion.

1. Very pretty stuff
2. Very nice packaging
3. $16.00 for silk pre-filter?
4. Very poor design on the hood bar latch.
5. After driving all day, the box feels relatively cool except on the battery side. That was a lot warmer,
The pipe going from the box to the turbo, very hot. So not sure I am understanding the whole Cold Air portion.
6. Nothing included in box to secure pre-filter.
7. Very closely matched the color of the car (Race Red)
8. Not sure if the price matches the performance. More investigation is required.

 

[jayrod1980]

The real premise of a CAI on a turbo car is more air volume. It's probably not much cooler. Even with the stock intake, my DHM can get the air at or near ambient at WOT. An intake for me just gives me More turbo noise and possibly some small gains at lower RPM due to less air restriction.

I also have the CPE intake and checked today to see the temperature of the piping. The box, pipe from the box, and pipe to the turbo were all about the same - a little warm (definitely not hot). To give some background to this, it was 82 degrees and this was after driving home in rush hour traffic where the ECT was reading 215 and the ACT was reading 115. Did you check to make sure that the pipe from the box is not touching the engine? I know others (and myself) had this issue when installing (see CPE intake thread) the intake. It takes a little bit of convincing, but you can definitely get it so its not touching the engine. Mine isn't touching the engine and the pipe never gets hot. If it is, that may be contributing to the temperature of the pipe.

Thank you that was very useful I will check that. I also have a laser thermometer. Hot and warm are probably relative here. I may be seriously over reacting vs my expectations. As I continue to get used to the this stage 1 tune and what the car is doing I am also learning how to use the access port to monitor the iat and the charge temp and find that when moving I am only off 3 degrees from
Ambient so the fmic must be doing its job. It's funny when I read your post I thought your iat was 215 and had a moment. You and everyone around you would have been dead

I'm in the car driving all day like 8-12 hours some highway some city so I am cooking on it all day I will sit with the Ac on for about 10 minutes without moving the car. I guess I shouldnt worry because it was working before why would it not work now it's not like the blower in the other car.

Thanks for the info I will check that.

I'm starting to understand that premise more on this car and this setup. I am glad to hear how the DHM is working I was curious with part of it being blocked would it cause a problem. I do hear a little more noise but the recir bov we have a rubber tune about 6" long over it blowing into atmos so it keeps that quiet and I really don't hear the air ox but I do hear the turbo a little more. Dyn085 seems to thing the CAi doesn't do anything based on his logging but to me it seemed the throttle response smoothed out a little bit. But maybe that was just me. I screwed up bad. I should have dynoed the car after every upgrade and gotten a stock dyno run but I got impulsive and just installed everything. Later this week I'm going to step up to stage 2 Cobb off the shelf and we wil see how that feels from stage 1 and I will redyno at the same place.

Well with a cold air intake, the only possible benefit is that you start out with air that's potentially cooler, so more oxygen. However, in a turbo car, you suck the air in and then it passes through the turbo. Once it does that, it's pretty hot! Then of course it goes through the hot side charge pipe, then intercooler, where it cools down (as long as it's not the crappy stock cooler), then though the cold side charge pipe to manifold to engine.
