Shortened Inlet Hose

Could anybody tell me if I have the shortened inlet hose,its looks small,but the air filter is resting against the battery and its not getting that much fresh air

Cheers

Yes that's a shorter inlet hose, as the cone filter often gets all the way to the inner wing.

 

Here's my conversion of 4 years ago:

 

Quite a difference! But it'll get plenty of fresh air there behind the headlight.

 

However: it could be crud on the outside, but your hose doesn't look in good nick: slightly perished and cracked from those pics.

 

Interesting relocation of your washer bottle. And (slightly off topic), have you used an 8v thermostat cover there instead of the plastic Mi one please?

I didnt personally do the conversion,but i believe its the 8v thermostat cover.

I want to put a bigger air filter on it atm,but there's no way it will fit

Why? What do you hope to achieve with a bigger filter?

 

Stew (Baker Bushes and Mounts) does a nice silicone hose for the Mi16. And if you dare ask me who he is and how to get in touch, I'm gonna come around and eat your f***ing eyes

You wont achieve any more power with a bigger filter tbh.
