Hi guys!

This is my new air induction kit, I was try to buy the pipercross kit, but in Spain it's so difficult.
And finally I buy the K&N filter.
This is the first filter sold in my state by a Mini.
The sound is very impressive when the engine up between 2.500 to 5.000 rpm (I always say at my friends, a V8 Mini).
I feel it more quickly in acceleration and response, but not yet I have verified with a chrono the differences with respect to the original one.
Only have a problem, in my opinion, the kit have too many pieces (7) to ensamble and fit the filter.

I'm going to drive...

Olà,

Looks nice ... muy bonita.

How is the temperature? do you have an increase?
Because it seems that the filter is pretty close to the engine...
How much did you pay it?

BTW ... buenvenido .. welcome at mini2

Hola Yui!

Your K&N filter looks nice, although the "kit" looks a bit different than the one I bought in Mexico. I love the roar it produces, but I am also worried about the hot air it picks from the engine area. I will soon install a heat shield to alleviate this problem a bit...

Anyway, ¡Felicidades Camarada!

How is the kit for curing the slight "stumble" of the engine? Does it get rid of some of the hesitation around 3K rpm? I'm dying to get a hold of a kit but I can't decide between all the choices (K&N, MonsterMini, MiniMania, Pipercross, HKS, etc). Let us know how it feels 'seat-of-the-pants' to you.

This is the JCW-Carbon-Airfilter. It makes a very low V8 like noise when accelerating from 1000 RPM upto a screaming V8 when you approch 5000 RPM ... very very impressive.

No increase in temerature noticable. This filter was especially designed for the Mini One and Cooper.

Hi everyone !

Yes, I have a little increase of temperature but always below the half of the "temp gauge".
I think put any isolator between the engine and the filter, maybe this thing reduce the temperature in this espace.

I pay 132 euro, mounted by me.

Really I feel a little hesitation around the 3k rpm but this isn't any problem at time to advance the cars.
