Making my 1.6 Driver Roar????

[infectascape]

Hey ... been looking through threads on here, cant find much info on this. Is there any cheap mods I can do to the engine to get a real roaring sound.


I wanna put a Twin Weber Carb on it ... but due to my limited knowledge I have no clue on what version to get. Version mean what sort of model or type. Do I need like an inlet manifold aswell??? Can I fit a K & N Bolt on filter on top of this, if so ... what model do I need.

Also, what would be better, a panel filter or bolt on ... to get a bigger roaring sound .... not worried too much on performance ... as long as I get the roar! hahah along with good fuel economy ....

Cheers in advance!

The roar i think you want is induction noise so your best bet is a bolt on 'cone' filter.

It should be noted that;

1. Your fuel economy will suffer a little. (mainly due to you putting your foot fully down more often to get the sound.)

2. Your performance MAY suffer due to hot engine bay air getting into the intake.

3. Slow moving cars with loud induction kits are a bit chav. 

And yes this from a man with both a K&N 57i and 17's......

So what about those rich people that fork out sh!t loads on scoobys to get that roar ... are they chavs too???

Scoobys are not slow moving......

pannel filter, drilled airbox, full stainless exhaust. all should make a difference

Scoobys roar like f**k if they move slow .... thats what I ment.


Erm .... in my Max Power Haynes Manual it says dont drill the air box unless you have an injection engine ... I have a carb ....

Ah i meant cars with small engines....    Scoobys/Skylines sound cool but have over 200bhp to play with, sub 2L engines with nothing special done to them sound like they're trying too hard imo.

Ahhh, I've decided just to put a panel filter on to see how I go with that, I've already got a full stainless steel exhaust ...... What about this Twin Weber carb .... what type do I need to put in?

People don't spend loads on making scoobies roar, it's the configuration of the engine that does that, as they are a flat four, not a generic 4 pot.
