Will this fit my 2000 model apy engine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280439907756

if you have ESP yes it will fit if you dont have ESP then it wont

 

[m444ty p]

thanks i do have esp

 

[Haglos]

how can you tell

 

[m444ty p]

there is a big button in my car with esp on it.

 

[Haglos]

lol i know that but what is the difference in the pipes mine is an apy 2000 with esp as well

 

[m444ty p]

sorry i havent got a clue

 

[jonny87]

question, why would it matter if you had esp or not?

 

[Westy]

Because the ESP tip has an extra hose running off it and the none ESP tip doesn't.

Sure it can be blocked or modified to fit the none ESP ones

Possible, I'm not sure.

the non esp version is a different design its not just the extra hose, think the esp version has to be a certain shape to clear parts but not sure, however i do no the esp models will fit and non esp models dont, do a search as some one modified a non esp to be able to fit a tip from an esp model

 

[jonny87]

oooo ok then
mine is a non esp, well i have no esp button so thats my guess!!

so you could fit an esp tip to a non esp car, with modifications?

You want my opinion, it won't fit, not with out some additional fettling. No one made a TIP for the APY engine, I still have a blue TIP sitting in my boot after 12months, cos all the bit's don't line up.

it will go straight on if you have esp, i have done it :thumbsup:

 

[s3_kev]

this is a non esp model having a tip modified to fit, so it can be done but if you have esp you simply just replace the original tip with silicone jobbie

Thought i could be done

You just have to think outside the box to make things fit.

I can remember when i used to mess around with Fords and people said that i couldn't fit a dry sump system to a FWD Zetec, Well i did it with a little bit of engineering.

Pics of your engine bay please. :sign_pics:

How about if you bought the Forge one? I can't see any other options for the Forge TIP on their site. It looks like they make just 1 TIP for the S3?

 

[1animal1]

this has been covered a few months back by another member, Forge agreed to make one IIRC but it was subject to minimum order and they wanted around the £130-£140 mark

nice find mate, missed that one
perhaps if we got a few of us together they would do a discount?
£130 is a tad steep, would pay it if i really had to though!

 

[DJ_Troopa]

Was checking out that site from the user on here from DPM Performance and found it cheaper!...

[jonny87]

still alot though considering you can get one for an esp model for half that price, doesnt make sense to me

 

[s3_kev]

that is one for an esp model they dont make one for non-esp!

 

[m444ty p]

going to order the ebay one
