Hey all,

i come from the land down under and seek some advice regarding what parts are needed to convert my stock R56 Cooper S airbox over to a JCW cone filter version, my dealer claims i need to replace the box, 3 pipes, the airflow sensor and a bracket all = $$$$$, but going by the discussion on several forums it seems to be a lot easier. but i am yet to find the exact list of items i need to do the conversion.

Im aware our cars are most likely different, but i'd like to have a list that i can present to my dealers to show him he is wrong.

Thanks guys.

 

Take a look at this link:

All you should need is the airbox, filter and a gasket as shown. It is completely DIY.

 

You need the following:
p/n 13720429380.............JCW Airbox with paper filter (stage I)
p/n 13530433064.............base gasket

That's all...good luck

Sounds like your MINI dealer needs to get in line for the company drug test. it's only a couple of parts as shown above.

 

Especially considering he said you need the air flow sensor, Aus R56 Mini does not run a MAF. The JCW airbox has a plasic adapter where the MAF would fit.
