Hi All, have had a look for a k&n filter assy for Mini and cant seem to find one on the site.
Do we have one available that will fit a 1.5 inch SU?
thanks
Diesel

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

I think the belief is that the K&N filters are great - but for a mini, the pod ones are not. The best you can do is replace the stock filter with one of the replacement K&N's like this: http://minisport.com.au/mini-kn-air-cle ... 11a2-carby

I've heard that the reason for this may be due to the siamesed design on the mini head creating a pulsing airflow, and that the stock elbow in the carby helps relieve that. Also helps if you drill out several large holes on the outside edge of the air filter assembly.

Having said all this, I have a K&N cone filter on my mini as it came with my stage 1 kit. It's been a great filter, but I did need to re-oil it after 20,000km.

I have a 1 1/2 SU with a Performance air filter assembly (including K & N Element) purchased from Link Automotive in Mitcham.

It was about the same price as official K & N assembly but has a different top and bottom plate with a nice built-in bellmouth.
Worth a look if you are after a genuine K & N.

cheers guys, trying to get hold of what Vizard was quoting?

Should have thought outside the box here, why would I search for Leyland Mini?
cheers Mick

Can't find anything from Vizard, but have a look here:

If you want a summary, just look at the conclusion at the bottom. The cone filter made less power in their testing.

If you go for a cone or pancake, you'll get better results with a stub stack added. I think Drmini makes them

There is a few different KN filters at minispares uk. Cone, pancake and original style ones..

nice looking work Dr with the stubstacks.
reckon I will get the 19mm drill out and get the K&N element to suit the original housing.
