A couple that I have done

On that final picture...

Where is the air filter leading back to? How have you modded the carb to allow that to fit? - looks like an extra chamber of sorts?

Is there much difference performance wise from the positioning of that filter with it being able to catch more of the cold air than before?

What have you put in there?

looks like a Rover K-Series from a Lotus? 1.8?

And...and have you supercharged it?!

You are truly a rich, insane genius.

I'd post my engine bay, but its gross.

Hi

The carb is not modded at all, bolted to the back of the carb is a modified maesto (or was in montego??) carb inlet that had the inlet neck cut off and relocated at a slightly different angle.

If you get one, cut it into bits and tape it back together untill its in the right shape and then take it to a fabrication company that has the gubbins to weld alloy. then you have a nice custom inlet.

The polished inlet tube is just a bit of boost pipe thats readily available from ebay, as was the filter and the silicone bend.

The whole kit cost me £40 to produce max.

There was a great improvement in mid to high range torque as I was not sucking in hot air from over the exhaust and it also seemed to stop the needle freezing up in winter.

A cheap mod that was something a little different.

It was done a couple of years back now but I still get asked about it, Maybe I should make another and have it moulded in fibre glass or carbon and market them as a kit?

What do people think?

I'd be very interested in one if you go that route. Cost dependant of course.
Cheers.....Dave

This is the finished kit.

If there is enough interest I will make an inlet and have a limited run of copies made for people who want them.
I'm not looking to proffit so all costs would be shared by each unit 9more ordered the cheaper they will be)
Let me know guys
