Mina Gallery Performance Intake Kit for Jaguar S-Type
#21
RE: Mina Gallery Performance Intake Kit for Jaguar S-Type
Great Idea.
From the XKR/XJR using a wider tube without the sound proofing tubes and ribbed section does already give more horses, not sure how much but it wil help on a str, but it will certainly do something.
Another thing that might help a bit is to make a bigger and nicer flowing curved connection to the TB. The aluminium piece right now is already not bad, but it can be improved.
Looking forward to this,
Andre.

The two main problems with the Jaguar Intake are (as far as performance restrictions) - the paper element filter, and the baffles and silencer ports.
Replace the stock filter with a K+N panel filter, and remove the baffles in the airbox.
Then replace the section between the throttle body and the MAF, that has all those ports to eliminate noise, and you have just about as good an intake as it gets on these cars. The airbox pulls air from the fender well - and the surface area of a replacement k&n panel filter is fine. Actually the mina piece between the throttle body and the MAF would work - maybe wrapped in some exhaust header heat wrap.
You'll hear a bit of a growl too, if that's what you're into.
If you just care about performance - that's going to be the best, without plumbing directly into the fender well and basically putting an air filter behind a fog light. Which is asking to hydrolock an engine under the wrong circumstances.

So does anyone know if you can do this, essentially turning the Mina intake into an "elbow" leaving the stock airbox? Would I need a coupler of some sort?

Not really feasable, I will be doing another run of elbows soon, I have been in and out, with my health. but now that Im stable and getting everything in order. I will be doing more product development and Im still working on getting those pesky NORMA fittings. that have haunted me in my slumber.
