Sumer bring it on. The Ace cafe will be great in the evenings.

Ok, thanks for answears.
I think I would go with that b gsr kit in future if possible. If I can get any to Finland

But what about these greenwister things and similars? are they crap or..?

btw, I asked about that bigger BMC carbon kit from one finnish supplier and he said that its for over 160hp motors, and price was nice 299e...

Not sure about the green twister kits but if you want something shipping to Finland from the UK I am happy to do it for you if you wire me the money for shipping...........

The standard Green filter kit is good, its easy to fit and not too expensive - you would also love the sound!!

Thanks man!.. Maybe that gsr kit would be the one..

Btw in this thread there was that there are two types of those green kits, wich type would fit my b? I attached a old picture from my engine bay..

Difficult to say for sure but looks to me like you have the external Air Flow Meter model. Is there a metal unit that looks like this on the end of the plastic tube that bends down the front of the engine? If so its got the external air flow meter........

Yep, there it was.. thanks..

NP, let us know what you go for.........

Yeah, I think I would go with that BMC kit. Seems that it would fit to b with battery on its own place, and I can get it from Finland..
And there is nice offer on one local suplier..
Have to wait for payday.. :slayer:

On BMC's website there are these testing reports, seems like it really gives couple more hp's.. :worship:

Good news, just as a matter of interest how much are they in Finland? Cost about £150-£180ish in the UK

Beware, you can't fit it like that (as shown on the BMC web site) if you've got the mass air sensor in it's own section of metal pipe.

You have to point it downwards and then have a pipe leading to the front to scoop up the nice cold air

Thats is one thing what I was thinking.. But what if I put that airsensor sameway as shown on LittleRedB's pic?



Is there room for that?

You have this kit installed? Could you put some piccies?

And one more question, maybe stupid one, but whats the meaning of that marked pipe on that pic?

That's a breather pipe which takes the slightly dirty air from the engine and recycles it to be burnt again. I've disconnected mine and will fit a catch tank. Docs already done it.

The CDA won't fit the way you describe as it's too long with the mass air sensor on the models like yours and mine.

I'll get some pictures when it gets light and I can find my camera but I think the Doc's already posted one a few posts back.

MadMatt is right, due to the length of the pipe/AFM the plastic elbow joint will hit the rad. Only way I could think of doing it for our models with the external air flow meter is to replace the original filter housing with the CDA or to get along to a SAMCO dealer and buy short sections of Silicone induction hose to create a bespoke fitting.

I am sure it's do-able but will require a bit of patience and quite a bit of new induction pipe.........

Ok, so that pipe is not necessary.. On that LittleRedB's pic there is only some kind of filter?..

You read my mind , I was just wathcing SAMCO's pipes on one site and if that one pipe is not necessary it gets my job easier..

EDIT There is complete kit to help installing induction kits, maybe going one of these with that BMC.

Not sure about the kit, could be worth it. You can do it without if you want. I'll try and get some pics as soon as I can find my flippin' camera!

I think you should install a catch tank if you remove the breather pipe, I believe that's a law in most of the EU.

You should fit a catch tank for the oil breather, its law if your local MOT station is diligent

I am interested in seeing how the CDA fits without re-working the under body layout, at the moment am happy to work with GSR to mod a kit specifically for the b but would be interested in seeing how the CDA fits (although that said I love the sound of the green kit)..........

So catch tank it is.. I found similar like LittleRedB has..

But never been with B so far..

Is there any news about that GSR kit?
Haven't really decide yet should I go with BMC kit + that installing kit.. :idea:

I have just dropped Peter (guy who owns GSR) a mail - I will let you know how I get on.....

BTW, have you guys disconnect that other hose too when adding catch tank?




And could someone tell me the diameter of b's intake hose, thinking of ordering those hoses now.. I'm kind of lazy today.. (and I have white B, kind of.. )

Mine was covered in ice, but no snow today!

I believe that the second pipe needs to be left were it is. My catch tank should arrive next week

As for pipe diameters, I can't remember off the top of my head. Let me know if you find a supplier because my current ducting isn't really the best (if you look at the photos I posted under the CDA thread) and I'd be interested in getting something a little better looking!
