Pod filters and K-jet

[Oneofthegreats]

All Mk2's 8V's & 16V's had the fuel system/airbox assembly & what not fitted on the RHS. Mk1's had it on the LHS incl. the Scirocco's

id say u will prob get more perfomace out of a drilled box with a k&n filter...an mx5 loves the pod they gain like 10-15 hp just for a filter.. th pod would look pretty cool though

Do you have dyno figures ?

We lost a second a lap with the race car around wakefield using a pod filter vs stock airbox .

nothing like it, since the K-jet system is a totally different FI system with a non circular hole to fit a pod filter to.

And as for performance gains/losses, I'm really not too fussed, if I had the same performance and it sounded better I'd be happy. That said naturally I would like to avoid a performance loss.

I have the k-jet setup running my 16v, no swiss cheese on my box i've cut the bottom out of the box altogether leaveing a few bits on there to secure it down and running a K&N panel liter and i pretty pos that i've gain a little in the performance and a lot in the induction dep but it's just the right note.

Having said that i believe that you would if anythink gain more from a panel filter with the bottom cut out vs a pod as the would be absolutley no restrictions and at the same time you leaving the look std, you can vent some cold air up to the bottom of the filter via two flexible pipes from somewhere in behind your bumper.

Well that's what i've done it was simple looks neat and tucked away and the induction works great i've tested it with me trusty old leaf blower from about 2m away from the front of the car and heaps of fresh air being vented up to the filter.
just an idea,
'm sure others would have done the same as i have many years earlier.

Just to add a little bit more those cast alloy inuction boxes would be great for a turbo k-jet setup.

Cheers Dave
