As the title says, what inlet do I need to complete my set up? Also, do I need to change my needle?

Thank you for your help

any of the widly availbile heated inlet manifolds should work with your set up - you will probably need a need change but the only way to get that right is to get it rolling roaded - if you add something like a k+n performance air filter you will have basicly a stage one kit

thats an example of one that would work

Cheers.

I have just got a 2nd hand k&n filter - I've slowly bought a stage one kit. I'll get it on a rolling road soon then.

Can you buy new filters for the K&N filter?

basicly thier meant to be lifetime filters so u dont have to replace them- but its good to clean them every few years with a special oil they sell - im not sure how much it costs - but im sure demontweeks sells it - but it may be worth looking around for a new one as there not too expensive - i presume u have a cone one - i have an element one but cleaning them in principle is the same i believe

I thought that you know, they look sealed on. Yeah I have a cone one for HS4 carbs.

You don`t use the oil to clean them that is used after you have cleaned the filter to trap the dust particiles. You need to use K&N cleaning fluid first!
