K&N Induction kit question

Post by Jezziebx16v »

Right, i have bought a K&N kit from the worst place possable :lol: and it is aledgedly for the round entry type AFM found on the later Ph2 cars. Now i have looked at this and as i have the square type entry AFM on my car i dont know whether it's the right kit for my Brother's car or not.

Anyone able to help with this ? the obvious thing to do is have a look at Adam's car but i can't till the weekend and if it is wrong i want to get it back in the post.

Thanks Jez

you can ge top hat adapters to change it from round to square im sure i've seen them in demon tweaks would be cheaper than buying another filter for your bx !

So it is the right looking thing for a round entry then?

I have a top hat adapter thing for my car as it is square entry but this kit photo'd is for a Jreg Bx.

My car has a K&N but I dont know what kind of entry it is? I know when I fitted it in 1999 it was a doddle.

ive got a flat panel K&N in mine so that doesn't help much, but in all honest they are pretty easy to adapt to any shape/size hole. Looking at it, and comparing the many i've seen on 205's it looks about the right size, you have to unbolt the AFM from the airbox to fit it though, and i think if your going to be driving the car it helps to have a second support for the AFM, they bounce around a bit otherwise!

Jez, the hole looks a little small to me. What diameter is it?

As mentioned you'll need a sq. to round adapter from somewhere like demon tweeks.

Dont think i have explained this very well, the kit i have pictured is supposed to be for a round entry AFM which is what i want, to fit a 91 J 16v. It just don't look right to me, it looks like it's mean't to fit straight onto an inlet pipe rather than the AFM?.

Yes, for the BX AFM you need a adaptor like this:

Thats from demon-tweeks, but they are a bit pricy, no?

£30.55

Green Cotton has this adaptors (top hat) too, and they are cheaper, but i don't know whats the model for the BX.

If the internal diameter of the filter is 65-70 mm, it should be ok based on the adptor sizing. TBH all the AFMs I've seen require the top hat style adaptor for aftermarket cone type filters. Maybe J plates are different.

hi there,
if you do need to get an adaptor for this then dont pay 30 quid for it as you can just make one for about 3 quid like it did. works great.

Jez to answer ypur question yes that kit is for a round entry AFM as used on the very late BX 16valve.
It is the same type of kit I sold to TNS who made a top hat adaptor to fit the cone to his valver.

When I used to have one the rubber on the bottom of the cone was square to allow it to fit the afm.
