Just mount the barrel filter just in front of the heater... Duct the air round in a single smooth radius to the filter housing then onwards to the inlet manifold throttle body assembly.


Andrew,
This very much mirrors my own current thoughts. I looked hard at the BMC and then switched to ITG's Maxogen. At the moment, we're still looking at the siting/routing issues . One thing for sure, I need to take out what is in effect a nasty right angled bend at the air filter body.
I'll put up a post as I go along
regards,
G


If you get the chance, use a 70mm intake through the inner wing to access the high pressure zone under the wing. The runner lenth will help smooth out any buffeting and provide a cold, positively charged feed to the engine.... just make sure it's sited well in comparison to the wheel (spray) maybe fabricate a protective shield.
