air filter
any help /ideas welcome
my 1800 zetec in a 7 type car has a k&n filter on it but the filter is placed infront of the cam gear cover but behind the radiator so my engine
must be gettin warm air . i am willing to buy new filter and ducting etc but where do i put it to get cold air as not much room in front of rad or
under bonnet full stop.
what have you all done.
cheers josh

You could run the Filter to outside the bonnet completely, and have it poking out on the opposite side to the exhaust, nice cold air and potential for
a ram air effect at high speed.
Just an idea.

big wasa i think it is the standard induction just with a k&n filter.
im a bit of a cheat and bought the luego ex demo so did not build the car . the box is an mt75 and sump im sure is the standard 1800 zetec one .if you
want to come over you are very welcome anytime.
cheers josh
ethomas i think thats a very good idea but may look abit funny (who knows).

Ram air is using a scoop to force air into the system at a higher pressure at speed. It will not turn your car into a turbo, but can help at high
speed. I would not mount a standaard Zirbox outside a car, but an induction kit mounted under an aluminium scoop could look nice.
Cheers,

just another question.
i see when you buy an induction kit you specify which car it goes on , why is this.

Just so that you get the right mounting kit. Alot of aftermarket filters are the same for similar cars, but just have a different base plate or
moutning points so they fit in that paticular car.
