Just wondered how to swap the big air box to a air filter/pod? I have seen a few mini's with it in but not to sure if it is as easy as it sounds!

Do you mean fitting a KnN filter?

[TheJack]

Yeah!

You'd be better to fit a stage one kit, http://minispares.co...ge one kit.aspx

This replaces the inlet manifold and full exhaust system... 20% increase in power after a rolling road session

I have been looking at one of them, posted on forums about swapping the exhaust and manifold, I looked at the half stage one and then you just add the exhaust which I found handy! Only problem is where to go for a rolling road session, I know Mini Sports do them but that is all the way up North!

What region are you in? Then google :)

Somerset do they tune at any rolling road or is it just to see the difference in power?

[Tamworthbay]

They will set the carb up so its running right. Will help with power but also stop the engine from lunching itself if the fuelling is way off after the parts swap.

[TheJack]

Ah right, so I can go to any rolling road and they will do it?

You can but best to check on here if anyone else has been. Some are more mini friendly/ capable than others.

The first one seems alright and it is the closest!

 

I will have a look!
