Drivetrain CAI for R56 (home made)

CAI for R56 (home made)
Until someone comes out with something better, here is what I have done in the meantime. I used a K&N universal filter 3" opening. I also removed the hood scoop plate to open it up, but I left the factory intake hose in place.
This mod is not for everyone. You can here the blow off valve "phssst" sound very loud when you let off the gas. Personally I like it. It is certianly easy enough to change back to normal in 15 minutes.

Looks good Mike, where did you get the idea? lol You are on the cutting edge. I hope it doesn't help you too much when we race.

Looks great .
Did you remove the black fake grille on the hood scoop and the black heat thingy under the hood? Is that what you mean.

In the first pic, what is that orange thing that sits ontop of the accordian How many miles have you put on the car with it so far? Also, do you have the part number from K&N and/or the length of the filter itself? I might have to call them direct and get this, I love the sound of the BOV going off
Congrats on being the first and taking the plunge!

Looks good Mike! I've been playing with a CAI idea, but couldn't nail down a design yet. The filter looks to have a velocity stack base, yes? The idea is very simple yet effective, just clamp a filter to the mass-air flow meter! I'd love to get the K&N part number you used and do some datalogging on it on my own MINI, if you're willing to share the # with us.
Cheers,
Ryan

Thats good thing, I hate light flashing...a front picture with the plastic removed would be nice, did you use any mesh...I would have to paint the inside of the scoop black I think I remember when I changed to CF I could see the blue, yours is grey so looks good w/o doing much.
Thank you for the response.

Thanks for the quick response on this Mike, did you happen to find that part number? If not, I'm just going to go to the local speed shop and order a universal K&N with a 3" inlet and 5" overall length. I actually went to their site (K&N) and thought I found your filter, but it was a K&N that didn't taper like yours, it was the same size at the top and bottom. I guess that would work but I'm just going to look for what you've got anyways. BTW, I'm sure my wife isn't going to like the sound of the BOV either, oh well

Damn, I should've waited because I went to the local speed shop this afternoon, told the guy I needed a universal K&N that has a 3" inlet and a total of 5" length and the part number I got was RU-3580. The price was $35.00 plus tax. I guess I'll see how it goes tomorrow.
