OK, so I have the 2.7 stroker set up.
What K&N air filter do I need? |

Get the K&N replacement panel filter, the induction kits are not worth the money, they suck air in from the engine bay, that is hot so you get less power.

This is a conversion from a 320/6.......so I dont have a stock air filter for an injection. |

How to get cold air into the intake then? i dont want to suck it in from down below because of the frequent flooding that Miami streets suffer. I dont want a cheesy hoodscoop. |

There should be 2 air intake ports on the front of the engine bay on the right. U and tap the air from there. |

How would you go from those holes to a filter? Which filter? I guess it would have to be inline so it sucks air only from the ports....and not the sorrounding hot air from the engine bay? Any ideas? |

On the 323, the air filter is a panel filter that sits in the airbox which fits in between the battery and the fuel distributer, this has a guided air hose that goes in between the two left hand headlights, if I can find a picture I will post one for you. This ensures the air intake is nice and high so you don't swallow any water. |

It would appear that his being a 2.7 stroked setup maybe different to the "standard" setup up?
Maybe MayanArch can up load his setup so that we can have a better idea instead of jumping the guns so to speak. |

I will get pics of that part of the engine bay.
That said, the battery has been relocated to the trunk. The Mass Air Sensor has been removed and I am using some electronic piece recommended by Ray. I have an Alpina front spoiler....but I dont think that gets in the way of what you guys are talking about. |
