Intakes for the X1? (petrol/gas)
I've searched online for a bit, and I can't seem to find any specific intake kits for the X1. Companies such as Injen, K&N, etc. do offer filter replacements that supposedly fits the X1. So anyways, just wondering if anyone here knows of an CAI kit for petrol/gas version of X1? Thanks!

Cros reference the part no for the airbox on realoem.com with other models ie 1 series i think will be fine and then find the k&n/BMC filter for that car. Thats what i did and found both k&n and bmc makes filters for the X1(abeit diesel)

Yeah, most of the ones I found are for Diesel, I guess since they are the popular choice for X1 in Europe. Sucks that no one has came out with an intake kit for the gas/petrol engine.

The air intake on our x1 is right at the kidney grill. The only thing I might consider is the air mass flow increase might be beneficial. But thats just to help the engine to get a less restrictive air flow. |

Or you can always buy this: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-16...20-engine.aspx
Which will put you closer to N55 (35i) HP/TQ. I would prob. do a drop in filter, unless someone out there has some good numbers to backup a CAI. The intake is to the right, and uses the kidney's to drive in air. I would take a look at how large the intake is; and maybe try to increase the size. If you want to make things even more detailed, you can try to smooth out any inconsistencies in the plastic. Last edited by mabrahams; 07-09-2012 at 11:11 AM.. |
