K & N

[LivinLegend]

Just brought a K&N off ebay for £31.00 are there any guides out there to help me fit it?

If you have a mk1 its piss easy, undo the bolts holding the current one on, remove the hoses going to it, connect the breather hose to the K&N (about a 12mm pipe), and put teh K&N onto the throttle houseing (where the old one was), and tighten the jubilee clip, then just pise loads and loads of cold air to it.

how will i piss loads of cold air to it? i was thinking of putting a cold air feed from my fog light holder, and mesh over it

i would say you will nead atleast 2 50mm cold air feeds to it, 3 or 4 is better, just pipe cold air from a suitable location, front grill, fog lights, you could cut the centre bottem bit of the bumper out mesh it and run em all from there, but the prob is the K&N sits above the engine so it needs ALOT of cold air feeds, or you will LOOSE power. Teh other alternative is to purchase a valver bonnet, the vent blows straight onto the K&N
