Hi

K&N list an intake performance kit for the 924 2.0 turbo but I am wondering if this kit would be suitable for a 2.0 non-turbo? Can anyone confirm that it would fit?

Many thanks
Scott

Won't help very much. The CIS fuel distributor and throttle body are bigger restrictions.

You'd be better off providing cool, fresh air to the stock intake snorkel.

many thanks for the honest advice mate, I appreciate it. There seems plenty of room to add a cold air induction snorkel and maybe even make a hole in the front nose. Cool, another addition to the long list of "to-do's"

By chance has anybody built a cold air induction system for the 2.0 non-turb and have any pointers?

thanks all - I only bought my first 924 3 weeks ago and I am growing a healthy addiction to it already

Some of the 944 folks have installed a NACA duct into the headlight bucket cover and then sealed off the area behind the headlight.

I cut ally have one that has been modified already, it looks pretty simple to do if you're willing to mess with a cutting saw and fiberglass work.

Another thought is to simply run a hose down through the area behind the headlight bucket with a snorkel on the end open the air inlet near the radiator.

This might help:

Way overpriced, but other early Audi and VW TB's will fit as a cheaper upgrade (or perhaps if you're handy with metal fab, you could build an adapter to use a more common round TB)

apologies for the double post

I noticed thay the "Porsche 924 VW Rabbit Scirocco TB300 Weber throttle body" allows for an extra long throttle shaft allowing micro-switch actuation of Nitrous Oxide and/or water injection. Would a stock setup handle a small amount of NoS or would it jusy go BANG

You can those parts at an auto parts store for a lot less then the price of a K&N kit. They will be another brand though, it's not like your buying a chrome metal intake, or even a hard plastic housing.
