1.

We will start by removing the intake duct. Remove the 2 x 10mm nuts as circled.

3. Disconnect the MAF sensor and remove the rubber holder from the airbox.

2. Release the front of the duct by pushing in the clip on the airbox.

4. Loosen the hose clamp around the tube at the back of the airbox and remove the 10mmbolt as circled.

5. The airbox can now be lifted out of the engine bay. Also remove the bolt at the base of thebattery tray as circled. This will be required to secure the intake later.

6. Remove MAF Sensor from the airbox by removing the 2 torx screws holding it in. The photoshows the pre-LCI version. The process is the same for the LCI model.

7. Insert the MF sensor into the new tube and secure with the 2 x supplied torx scews. DO NOT
use the OEM screws for this. LCI version shown in next step.

8. Here is the LCI version of the MAF tube and sensor – secure with the new supplied screws.

9. Assemble the MAF tube to the filter housing using the silicon coupler and 2 hose clamps.
The tube must be inserted into the silicon as shown here. It is VERY IMPORTANT to get thesensor direction correct. You can see the arrow on the sensor indicating flow direction.

11. Rotate the MAF tube so that it is positioned as shown relative to the Eventuri Badge on
the housing. Tighten the hose clamp around the filter housing. Leave the other one loose fornow.

10. Similarly here is the LCI version. Assemble the MAF tube to the filter housing using thesilicon coupler and 2 hose clamps. The tube must be inserted into the silicon as shown here. It isVERY IMPORTANT to get the sensor direction correct. You can see the arrow on the sensor
indicating flow direction.

12. Insert the carbon duct into place – the 2 threaded studs should go through the holes in thebase of the duct – see the next photos.

Installation Instructions : F5X MINI Cooper S/JCW: Page 4

13. The threaded studs should go through the holes as shown – there is another one on theother side of the duct. Do not secure them yet.

14. Push the filter housing and MAF tube into the stock intake tube.

.

15. At the base of the bracket on the housing there is a mounting locator (circled) – push this
into the rubber grommet indicated by the arrow. You will need to lift the duct to allow thefilter housing to be lowered into place.
.

16. Once inserted the bracket should sit like this. Do not secure yet.
.

17. Align the duct and housing so that the rubber seal is covering the filter housing all the way
around.

18. Once the duct and housing are aligned – secure the bracket with the bolt removed
in step 5.

.

19. Re-connect the MAF sensor – ensure is fully clipped back into the sensor. Now tighten theremaining hose clamps.
.

20. Now secure the duct with the 2 x M6 nuts.

21. Take the 2 rubber strips provided. These will protect the carbon duct against thebonnet.

22. Remove the adhesive backing from the strips and apply them as shown by the red linesunder the bonnet. The next photo shows how they should look once applied.

23. The rubber strips should look like this.

24. Now we will remove the bonnet scoop. Start by removing the torx screw shown.
.

25. The scoop is held in place by 6 clips. You can compress the ends of the clips which are accessible
and lift the scoop out. The next photo shows the back of the removed scoop and the locations of theclips.

26. Here is the back of the scoop and the clip locations.

.

27. With the scoop removed – the clip locations can be seen on the bonnet ready for thecarbon scoop.

28. Check the back of the carbon scoop – if you have an M5 screw pre-installed as shown thenremove it. If not - simply continue to the next step.

29. Take the supplied sealing strip and remove the backing to expose the adhesive.
.

31. Close up of one side of the location for the strip. Make sure to avoid covering the holes.

30. Stick the sealing strip to the scoop area marked in red. It should go between the 2 holes oneach side. See next photo. Do not cover the holes.

32. Carefully lower the carbon scoop into position – make sure the 6 clips are alreadyinstalled on the back of the scoop.
.

34. Once clipped into place – secure the scoop by screwing the torx screw removed in step
24. IF your scoop came pre-assembled with a new screw in this position from step 28 – use
the new screw to secure the scoop.

33. Once the clips are in position firmly push the scoop down in all 6 clip positions and ensure
they click into place.
