Title: mk1 airbox conversion - are these rare?
Post by: Gambit on 09 February 2005, 09:34

basically it replaces the whole airbox - u just bolt on your fuel regulator to the top of it. supposedly allows you to run a cone filter and cold air ducting.

any thoughts on them??

i have an induction kit underneath the metering head doing away with all of the box, performance gains on a standard engine are hardly noticeable, there is a rasp towards the higher revs thats about all.

Any 240/740 with kjet from the early to late 80's. Might be able to get some if anyone is interested, but will have to look into it.
