Hello,
Can anyone confirm with me that the NM Cold Air Intake will fit under the JCW Strut Brace on my 2013 R55S?
I know someone made a chart of this information but doesn't include the NM Intake.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
I have the JCW strut bar and a NM carbon fiber CAI on my R55S. There was absolutely no clearance issues. If you'd like, I can snap a pic tomorrow during the day.

 

Thanks for getting back to me Ramos and yes, a picture would be great!
Did you feel a noticable difference in your cars hp after the install of the CAI?
What year is your Clubman?

Jeff

 

Pardon my super late reply Jeff. My car is filthy but here are the pictures.
This is pic of the dirty engine bay.


This is a front view of the CAI and the JCW strut bar


And this is the view from behind, kinda like from the driver's side. Absolutely no clearance issues.


BTW, my R55 is an '09. I don't think any changes have occurred under the hood between then and now. Hope that helps. And once again, sorry for the long delay and dirty engine bay lol.

And yes, the difference is pretty noticeable. I love the whooshing sound of the turbo spooling up and the hiss from the recirc valve.

 

Hi Ramos,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I can't view the pics.

 

Hey guys
Not to high jack, but we are still talking struts
I have the brace on my new fJCW club '14
Only four weeks old, and I'm still learning

I need to find out what size metric Allen Wrench
And what size the nuts are that hold the bar in place, not to the tower!
I hate to need to purchase a full set of wrenches till I need a full set

Thanks

 

Sorry miss posted
Can't delete!
The reason I wanted the sizes is that I can't remove the intake filter cover to drop in a K&N filter
