Universal air filters

Just curious, is that your expansion tank there right where the LHD E36s have the brake master cylinder? You went for a fluidyne radiator?

It seemed to be working well when I travel in M'asia. Quite smooth. I have been doing this since August last year. I call this my mini supercharger
joon;457786 said:My advice would be to remove the fan.. it will NOT improve airflow.. it's a huge obstruction, it will not add any improvement and it only adds turbulence, don't believe all the 'cyclone' intake bullshit... it would be better to construct a scoop or duct to channel outside air into the intake area, this is the way the race cars do it.. the F1 cars do it.. if properly constructed it can generate positive pressure on the intake at high speed

Since you're at it.....I am sure you have seen R2D's brilliant work on the 2 air scoops attached right behind the kidney grills.....
So, what's your take on that? How much improvement (in your opinion) should one expect in a relatively affordable simple mod like the R2D scoops?
I'm a tech Noob.....
Just for discussion....
