I would like to know if the N18 k&n intake would fit on a 2010 factory Jcw?
If it won't why won't it fit?

 

There was a change in the connection tube near the turbo inlet. 692004TTK has the full tube and connection for the N14 down near the turbo inlet. Think you are talking about 692004TTK vs 69-2023TS ( they lost the long tube ) . Should fit based off what I have seen but I don't know anyone who has done it. I dont know how close the N18 69-2023TS box base comes to the old N14 HPFP. Good luck.


We do have the ECS CF intake that fits all N14 and N18 engines.

It won't as the bottom half of the N18 airbox and the N14 airbox are different and the holes won't line up.
Now you may be able to redrill the K&N intake and make it fit. Or post your N14 bottom half up for trade for the N18 bottom half. I know people are looking for those N14 bottom halfs to install the JCW intake on the N18. Heck I would trade you an N18 bottom if I still have one here.

Now as much as I like selling MINI parts the reality is intakes don't make power on the turbo MINIs. If they make any power it's like 3hp. We've done plenty of trial and error over the years trying to gain as much power as possible for the track car, but intakes just don't provide it. If you want HP there are many other places that money is better spent.
