Basically I put an induction kit in my car, but now when I accelerate past 70mph my car seems too go over the halway mark and overheat. Then when I slow down my temperature gauge drops to cold... Isn't it supposed to be the other way around ? Anyone have any solutions as too how too fix this problem ? Thankyou

there's alot of debate about open filters but all i know is the engine will suffer from heat soak, unless a cold air feed is fitted. Dont know if this is the main cause of overheating someone else might be able to help Razz

The first step is to revert to your original induction system and see if that fixes it. Until you do that you don't know if it definitely is the induction system that is making it overheat or a coincidental failure of head gasket, thermostat or header tank screw cap. Also check the coolant level - you could have damaged a hose while fitting the induction system.

If your induction is close to the exhaust then it will be sucking hot air straight into the engine possibly causing the over heat and sucking hot air will also reduce power even if it wasn't over heating. So many cone intakes reduce power simply because they are sucking hot air straight from the engine bay. Once running and for maximum power you want the air going into the engine to be as cold as possible.

That is the thing with the original design. It might be a bit restrictive and go through a few bends but at least it is sucking cold air.

i put the induction kit right where the original manufactures one was, and its just simply swapped a floppy pipe with a stiff one, with a cone on the end of it, do you think it is worth putting an cold air intake feed into the front grill ?

YES. Either that or use some ducting to relocate the filter to the top of the intake side, cut a hole where the bonnet vents are and duct straight to the filter. Or leave it as is, take out a fog and get the ducting in there!
If you cant cable tie it, it's well and truly f****d
