BrummieZS is on a distinguished road
Track project 180

So I had some spare time today so I decided to look at installing an induction kit.

Looking at the cramped engine bay on the ZS I decided there was little room for a filter and I don't want to cause heat soak by putting a cone filter directly behind the rad.

So I thought I would construct my own cold air induction kit by using the original airbox and a pipercross induction kit I had lying around.

Here are the pics of my creation:

Firstly I removed the original airbox and then cut out part of the top section so it could house the cone filter.







Then I cleaned out the oil and muck out of the out airbox and re-installed in back in the car.



This is the induction kit I'm fitting.





I played with the connections and trial fitted a couple of times before tightening everything up and finally fitting an oil breather.





I then took it out in the pouring rain for a test drive and I must say I am very impressed so far with the results and it's making some lovely sounds
