Pipercross Launch New Fiesta Zetec HFIC Kit
Induction maestro Pipercross has launched a superb new High Flow Intake Chamber (HFIC) kit for the perennial Fiesta Zetec S – and it promises an additional 6 BHP and 3 lbft of torque straight ‘out of the box’!
The beautifully made kit – hand fabricated here in the UK – has been designed to a direct fit to the factor set-up, replacing the entire bottom half of the OEM airbox with a powder-coated aluminium chamber, complete with high-performance Pipercross filter element. The filter itself will flow between 35-40% more air than the factory filter, whilst still being able to filter to a finer level, protecting the engine from the ingress of any foreign particles. The filter element can also be re-cleaned and re-oiled regularly and is guaranteed for life.
With a significantly larger lower intake in addition to a sizeable side intake, the kit can also force more air into the engine’s induction system, augmenting the filters already superior performance – hence the impressive figures obtained during independent testing sessions.
The kit is priced at just £119.99 including Vat and is the perfect first modification for any road or track based Fezzer.

‘If you’ve ever wanted to run on our track, this has to be the cheapest way to do it!’ laughed Santa Pod’s general manager, David Lloyd Jones. ‘As the Fast Show fell on the day of Sport Relief’s official day, we thought this would be a fun way to try and raise a little extra money for them – and allow our guests to jog off their lunch! We’ve also got the Eurosport and Motors TV camera crews here covering the event, so as well as doing your bit for charity, who knows? You might end up on the telly as well!’
The new Venom induction kit uses ground breaking new construction and material choices to give their best ever air-flow yet in a sealed intake design. This latest kit comes complete with OEM Style ‘hard piping’ with engine heat shields and MAF aperture, plus all accessories needed for a quick and easy fitment. The filter inside is easily removable for cleaning and maintenance, while the ingenious ‘click-together’ design makes for light weight. Essential for track and race applications.
The filter inside uses a unique multi-laminated open cell polyurethane foam construction, meaning the Venom can actually filter down to a much finer rate than the OEM part, preventing any foreign particles from entering the induction tract and protecting the engine. This same construction means that the filter can also go longer between service intervals than even leading cotton-gauze filters, before needing to be cleaned.
