Project 440-Air Intake Filter

I don't think there would be problems with fuel atomisation, because in an injector engine the correct amount of fuel is injected to the 'corresponding' air amount. The main problem with the full cold air intake in winter, is high fuel consumption. And of course, if the engine runs a lot on a rich mixture, then there might be lubrication problems too.

Rite then Cheers everyone Ill buy one and Sitck it on. the guy at halfords obviously had no idea what he was talking about Pics soon!

i have done this to every car i have ever owned. from experience something sealed with cold air ducting works best. if u extend the intake pipe too much and relocate the filter to a colder area u tend to lose initial throttle response. open cone filters like most induction kits seem good only for sucking in hot air and extra noise. the likes of the BMC sealed intake or if your pockets arent that deep the halfords equivalent will do perfectly. alternately if ur a real cheapskate buying a universal cone filter (preferably with a shield around it, not for heat reduction, for water protection) and extending the intake pipework into a corner behind the front bumper or down about level with the bottom of the sump and pointing downwards works tho u should be careful not to drive thru big puddles. i believe some of the anericak tuner companies have created a bypass valve that is supposed to stop water from being taken into the engine should the filter be submerged. the low positioned filter may sound bad but from experience i have never had any issues with water getting into the engine and all i did was pay attention when driving and not go speeding thru puddles or trying to ford small rivers lol

Rite then its on!!! I have put a couple of pics up. to critizie its setup! Is it in rite place? Will this Affect Fuel economy or performance? What can i do (on the cheap- im a student) to improve it? Cheers Next up....lowering springs

I forgot.... Here are the pics!!!!
