Anyone fitted a Cold Air Intake?

Just interested in anyone that has had one fitted and what make (K&N ... Cheap E-bay) fitted the stock intake system.

Mostly interested in the 1.0L turbo engine.

I know they fit these to the Platinum Cup cars. They are stock off the street 1.25 litre models though and given they put out 73 kW, I think they must have a modified ECU to produce more torque at the top end of the rev range (though I am sure the K&N intake and the modified exhaust help). They certainly sound good at any rate.

You might not remember but 4 months ago my car got written off, still waiting for the new one, car showrooms only opened today.

Saying that, I will get my car either tomorrow or Wednesday.

There is a car on the website that suggests it has a cold air intake on a Picanto, in the “Top Photos/Showcase” section:
Ichinahui's 2018 Kia Picanto GT Line T-gdi


Might be worth messaging Ichinahui, I’ll wait until I get my car first.

I only post this as there are few shots of the air intake, looks like a generic Ebay item.

Looks like it has a piggyback chip too. I would think that setup would allow to hotter air unless there is a bigger intercooler!

I now have my GT Line S 1.0L turbo ... I giggled all the way home driving it.

Yea, look up "Race Chip" for the box: Performance chips – Chip tuning by RaceChip for Kia Picanto (JA) 1.0 T-GDi (74KW) | RaceChip

Not sure what air intake they fitted as the intake is on the other side of the engine to what they have fitted, so probably not a generic Ebay intake.

Side Note: Still set to US gallon.

I emailed them last night. They do the S version here in AU for $295 which is 88kW/ 210Nm. But they did not give any info on the intake.

I think I will go that just for fun as that should be a noticeable increase
