This is what we refer to as 'The rice burner' this is the ultimate cold air system for your Elise (or MGF) this features a huge Pipercross trumpeted filter enclosed within a cannister. This filter was originally designed and used on the Australian V8 Holden touring cars! So it has enough capacity for your 1.8 K series! The filter is attached to the throttle body with a silicon hose and the flexible cold air pipe and trumpet picks up air from the wing vent. Never mind all the other cold air kits, we've been there and done them all - this filter will produce the same if not more than any other kit on the market |

The Hurricane Induction system was originally developed on and for the Lotus Elise.
It combines the advantages of an open air filter (sports filter) and an airbox. Besides, the system is gas flowed from side air vent. All these combined features result in: - Lower flow resistance by using bigger ducting... - Direct cold air intake.. - Optimised flow, no turbulence.. - Very mature soundtrack Using the advantage of the sports filter and the cold air intake, power and torque gain is obvious! During the Hurricane airbox development, all components have been optimised by using high-tech aerodynamics systems. Turbulence has been ruled out, which results in a very steady clean and cool air supply. |
How to Clean Your Hurricane
It's recommended that induction kits like the hurricane with a cotton filter should be cleaned every 5-6k or every 6 months (more so if you drive in dusty environments)
1)Remove bent hose that connects it to the throttle body, this gives you room to work, next remove the big jubilee clip and pull out the green filter.
2)Next brush of debris, then soak with cleaner leave it a good 15 mins to work in, then rinse it well from the inside out only in clean warm water. If required apply more cleaner and do it again.
3)Wait for it to dry and then give it a fair but not excessive coat of dust retention spray on oil.
4)Refit reverse of removal.
Note: Cleaner solution and oil can be purchased from http://www.elise-shop.com and http://www.eliseparts.com or from Halfords - Green Cotton Cleaner kit. Remember that if the filter does become very dirty or blocked it will affect the performance of you car.

ITG Panel Filter S1 & S2 | |
Material: Foam | |
Price: £35.24 | |
Suppliers: PTP | |
Click here | |
Suitable for all models of the Mk1 and Mk2 Lotus Elise, this air filter simply fits into the standard air box. Three layers of foam combined with the arresting stickiness of the dust retaining oil gives a high level of filtration to protect the engine from all containments. Long after ordinary filters have blocked up and reduced the engine power Profilter keeps on performing. In normal road use, a Profilter will last at least four times as long as the equivalent standard filter. You will never have to clean a Profilter panel filter – EVER. |
ITG Panel Filter 111R and S2 Exige | |
Material: Foam | |
Price: £59.93 | |

The ITG panel filter achives a high level of filteration. This is achived by the three layers of foam combined with the arresting stickiness of the dust retaining oil. In normal road use a Profilter will last at least four times as long as the equivalent standard filter, the performance is unaffected by very large quantities of dirt arrested in the filter. Long after ordinary filters have blocked up and reduced the engine power caused by a loss of air flow into the engine, the Profilter will continue to allow greater air flow through into the engine. This means that the loss of pressure in the Profilter airflow will be exceptionally low. Because of these facts the waste is reduced so Profilter helps the environment as well as the engine. |

This filter and baseplate has been specically designed and developed as an aftermarket performance option to further enhance the Exige's already impressive power unit. The filter is made from a 3 layer foam over a stainless steel mesh cage, this is easily inserted into the existing housing. The red baseplate is then mounted to the throttle body and the housing is easily attached with concealed retained nut locators. The filter has undergone several months worth of extensive on car testing. It allows better airflow throughout the lifetime of the filter. This coupled with an improvement in air filtration over the original item ensures that only clean filtered air arrives into the engine, ensuring that the engine breathes at its optimum - ALL THE TIME. Its easily fitted, produces a marked long term improvement and is easy to clean and re-oil - so now you can just keep on driving. |

The Bill&Ben Induction system was originally developed on and for the Lotus Elise.
Initially developed by Dave Skeggs for an EliseTrophy car and since resurrected for a LC Speed Series spec car by Jez. It combines the advantages of an open air filter (sports filter) and an airbox. Besides, the system is gas flowed from side air vent. All these combined features result in: - Not spending much money… - Direct cold air intake.. - its orange.. - Very immature soundtrack Using the advantage of the sports filter and the cold air intake, power, bank balance and torque gain is obvious! During the Bill&Ben airbox development, all components have been slapped together with tiger seal by using heath robinson methods. Turbulence may happen, but life's never simple. |
How to Make Your Pikey Induction Kit
Buy a flowerpot (£1.26), Bucket (99p), reducer thing (£2.25) and tube of tiger seal or equivalent (£10) - cut a hole in the base of the flower pot (hole saw in a drill does the trick), cut a hole in the bucket then cut the entire base out. glue it all together with your k&n or whatever inside. if you want to get flashy make the bucket base removable from the flower pot to be able to get to the air filter at a later date. if you can't be bothered just make another one after you’ve hacked into the old one :)
