Sprogley Motorsport PRO Z20 80mm Direct Route Intake Kit
Sprogley Motorsport 80mm Direct Route intake kit for the Vauxhall Z20LEx Engine.
Please Note the following:
- Please allow up to 4 weeks for dispatch. JS Silicone is made to order. Thank you for understanding.
- This intake does not have a breather port. We offer an SM spec Airtec Motorsport breather kit (pictured) to suit this intake, or a Ramair 16mm breather filter if you already have a catch can fitted.
We are very pleased to bring you the SM PRO direct route intake kit for the Z20LEx engines! This includes cars such as the Astra H VXR and Sri Turbo, the Astra G GSI and the Zafira VXR.
Kit includes
SM 80mm direct route intake pipe (brushed ally or satin black aluminium elbow, range of JS performance upgraded silicone hoses)
Ramair Proram oversized 114mm performance air filter
SM integral 80mm MAF housing and velocity stack filter base
Stainless Jubilee Clips
Kit will fit the following vehicles
- Vauxhall Astra H VXR
- Vauxhall Astra H SRI 2.0T (with 90mm MAF conversion)
- Vauxhall Zafira VXR
- Vauxhall Astra G GSI (with 80mm MAF conversion)
- Other Z20LEx vehicles (not 100% confirmed)
We also have a 90mm Hybrid version of this intake for Ko4/6 Hybrid set ups.
This kit is everything you need to upgrade the intake on your Z20 Turbo Vauxhall. After owning these cars for years ourselves, and having experienced a few different styles of intakes, we have ended up coming up with our own design that we believe to be the best of both worlds.
Our intake pipe is half aluminium and half silicone. This allows you to get the kit to fit correctly to your turbo, without sitting too high and hitting the bonnet, or having a less than ideal silicone join to the turbo inlet pipe. You end up with a perfect fitting intake pipe that works great with an open cone filter.
The aluminium elbow not only looks great, in either a brushed or satin black finish, but it also enhances sound as well as helping to protect from heat. We may offer a VHT crinkle black coating to this part in the future for an additional cost (see pictures).
We have provided what we believe to be an excellent choice of air filters. You have the option of a Ramair foam filter or the Ramair PRORAM, ramairs answer to the AEM. The Ramair foam filter has been around for many years and is a go-to choice for many car enthusiasts. The Proram however, is what we deem to be the best cone filter on the market. We personally use these on our own cars, having made the swap from the highly regarded AEM filter. We will soon offer the Proram in a massive 195mm x 200mm size, for all the sound and all the performance! These do however sit very snugly in the engine bay. This is subject to further development.
You can of course also spec your intake pipe with no filter at all!
Why not take your intake set up one step further and add our enlarged air feed, or couple it up with our V2 3" Fog Delete Ducts, for the ultimate performance set up for your Vauxhall!

Instructions
Failing to correctly install our MAF housings can cause damage such as cracking/splitting. These MAF housings have been tested thoroughly, both by ourselves and independently. They are more than strong enough for their purpose, and will only break if not installed correctly. We WILL NOT replace or refund any MAF housing that has clearly been damaged due to incorrect installation (see returns policy, section 1.6), so please read the following instructions and take care during installation.
Please ensure your car is calibrated to run the chosen MAF housing size (80mm, 90mm etc). Failing to do so can cause the car to run poorly and can potentially cause serious damage.
Screwing the MAF sensor into the housing
When installing the screws into our MAF housing, it is essential to take care to avoid cracking the sensor boss. The screw thread needs to be cut inside the hole. This can be done by gently turning the screw in 2 turns, followed by turning back out 1 turn. We have installed countless sensors into our MAF housings this way, and never once caused the housing to split.
Connecting your silicone pipe to the MAF housing
Due to the rough surface and tight tolerance of the 3D printed part, silicone pipes grip onto the housing very well, without any clamping force from a jubilee clip. We have deliberately made the fit very snug for this reason. The jubilee clip is simply a safety measure to ensure the MAF housing can't possibly slip out of the silicone pipe. Because of this, the jubilee clip only needs nipping up. It is important to remember that the air inside your intake is a vacuum, not positive pressure. By gently nipping the jubilee clip up, you will not damage the MAF housing. If the jubilee clip is aggressively over-tightened, it will cause the MAF housing to crack. This amount of pressure is completely unnecessary.
Please take care during the installation.
