"james2"  , does the original wider £9.99 air filter you get with the kit fit in the gap where u have or have u got to buy a different thinner cone to squeeze it in?

I found a second hand /new never fitted one on ebay £35  you need one thats not straight ,offset so it looks straight .Your is to wide on the neck or base and would point towards the wheel arch. Mine a JR french filter. I looked it up on there site and i think its rated upto 250 bhp, but i cant read french

ah ok , so the standard one is too big to cut it down and you need a cone with a kick on it so it looks straight.

think ive got you now , lucky you replied because i had almost bought a thinner strain cone filter which wouldnt have worked lol

[james2]

mine above look on there site ,it tells you the size of mine and angle of neck. 

[Gary022]

found a 20 degree angled k and n filter for £31 , think ill just get that.

hopefully that does the trick once i cut down the pipe.


now all i need to work out is what im doing with what i think is the oil breather.

[james2]

It looks small ,need to find one that can handle 200bhp, or more if your modding your car.The tiny filters for the pipe you pointed out on you picture. I dont have one on my engine.

[Gary022]

bit late now seeing as ive bought it lol , its 18mm thinner in width than yours but 12mm longer in length so if size is anything to go buy i hope its pretty close.

[Gary022]

Final Part of the install to work out is the nipple on the cold pipe and the hose.

ive worked out the small filter fits on the old oil breather but that doesnt explain what the silicone hose is for or the nipple.

any ideas lads before i start the install?

Just off the phone to k and n after I realised this morning it's made for snowmobiles. Turns out if my car is non turbo it handles 190 odd but if I'm turboed it can work up to 300 odd bhp so it should work out alright
