JST Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 do you want the induction kit or just a K&N filter which is the way most go - for those that want to fit K&Ns that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangemach5 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 As JST says, you would be better off fitting a k&n type element in the original airbox, cone filters are far too noisey and can get very annoying!!! The answer to you question is no, the 300 tdi has the compressor side of the turbo pointing towards the rear of the engine, whereas the 200 turbo is the other way around with the compressor housing facing the front.

tblandy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 For A Land Rover??? anyway all an under bonnet induction 'kit' will do under the hood is draw warm air which is opposite to what you want, your better off with a K&N Pannel filter and a smoothed air box, or make your self an induction kit down to the front headlight with a cold air feed, that way youl get a nice turbo noise aswell.

q-rover Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 What he actually wants to do is forget all idea's about K+N filters and just stick with the standard paper filter that actually works. IE filters the ****e out of the air before going in the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 This is wrong in so many ways. Stick with standard. Not only does it actually filter the air but it also doesn't cost you lots of money or cause people to laugh if they look under your bonnet.

muddy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I stuck one on my new disco just while i was testing the engine as the standard filter was carp, I just used abit of 70mm pipe as a joiner.

Kev Baldwin Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It's a Land Rover. Live with it. Fitting an expenisve air filter aint going to make it any faster or improve BHP no matter what the advert says. Save your money. FWIW. Bowler uses paper filters for all of its desert racers.

nicksmelly Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I had a new K&N filter on my Range Rover. When I took it off to clean and oil it, the pipework was full of fine dust... loads of it.. so I cleaned it all out and went back to a paper filter. A year later when I was changing the filter I checked the pipework and it was clean, if not a little oily. I chucked the K&N in the bin, thats the best place for them.

Have some science to go with that. Just because the filter itself won't fall apart for 1,000,000 miles doesn't mean it's actually doing anything useful.
