KN air velocity kit

Anybody have any experience with this system from 9xauto? KN filter + something else.Should bring out more Hp....too easy to be true?Works with 914-4 fuel injected 1.8 & 2.0. Sorry , that I donīt have a 914... 912E instead.With the original L-Jetronic. I just donīt believe that you could get so much out for fitting a system like that.If it would be true , why didnīt PORSCHE do that in the first place?The L-jetronic on 914 & 912E , is it the same?As they donīt say it would fit to 912E , they only mention 914.

Thank you ,

e k i

Give this a try

If I were you I'd give this idea a try:

It's only $4 in materials and has been said to work by an auto-x'er. Save your money for other things...get cheap performance where you can

Mueller asked them if they had dyno results to show the HP gain. Their reply was that he should go find a dyno and try it for himself.... Yeah, I believe their HP claims...

BTW, a guy on this past weekend's Roadglue tour had a cold-air intake from some form of Honda that he got at his local parts store. Fit the 1.7 intake nicely, from what I could see....

Oh guys , you are smart !!!Now you know why I asked. And saved me 99$ .... I just saw the ad , and I was wondering... what if?I have seen these things fitted to several ricecookers,lots of noise,nice looks , etc.But I was kind of sceptical,as I said if something like that would work, most likely PORSCHE would use it.

Thank you , each and everyone!

This post by JmuRiz got me think'n, so I went out and looked at my stock intake. The intake nose was pointed to the right front of the engine bay and I could deffinetly feel a difference in temp from one side to the other. I turned the intake nose to the left side where the cooler air is. I think I noted a difference but not positive.

A couple of pics here of the 1.7 with the "Honda intake" (bought from a FLAPS, unknown exactly what kind of Honda it is intended for).



This car was on last weekend's Roadglue run. If you have a 1.7 and don't like the oil bath air cleaner, this isn't the worst option in the world...
