@IamScotticusand @32eachtime that’s correct a Twin Cam Big Valve. Well $16k is out of the budget, I’d need to sell one of the 7’s and that would be difficult to do.
-
@IamScotticus I’m loving that S4, looks just like mine! I can tell that’s a BV under the bonnet! If you ever decide to part ways, and I know that’s unlikely, but I’d be interested. Very nice.

Love the neon 7, that’s a great find.

@IamScotticus, that’s are really nice airbox, thanks for sharing it. I think it I need to change my setup! I also appreciate the link on the S4 development. I had not previously seen it. This Forum is truly amazing!
-
@wdb, that’s an interesting thought. The S4 manual show a box type unit, but with an air inlet in the front of the unit, which is different than the pancake style installed. I need to see how much space exists between the filter and Bonnet to see what I can fit. Thanks for your insight.

@MV8thanks for your thoughts. I may try to repurpose a round and see what luck I have shaping a filter. I’m also going try and straighten and reseal where needed as you recommended. I was a little concerned with the bent areas, but overall the other side is much better.

@JohnChthanks for the recommendation to the OZ Club, I’ve also found the NZ Club, so maybe one of the will recognize it. @mrmustang the KN Tech was my first try. I agree it certainly looks like a KN filter, but they didn’t have any details. I never thought it would be a challenge finding a filter, but worst case I’ll install a couple of low profile KN. Thanks both for your help.

Thanks for your feedback and insight @JohnCh, I agree the others may work out. I’ll also look at the ITG. I was hoping someone would recognize it. part of the issue may be the car was originally made in NZ (Steel Bro) so it might have been a somewhat custom part. Thanks again

I’m on the hunt for an air filter for my S4. It’s a BV TC running Dellorto DHLA carbs. I’ve been unsuccessful finding a replacement, and thought it was a K&N based on the sticker, but no joy there. The assembly covers both carbs showing measurements, and installed on the car. I don’t want to cut into the Bonnet. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@wdb nice illustration, I’m not a FB person, so I it’s unknown to me. I appreciate you sharing it! Have a great ‘25.

Perfect weather made a 7 cruise mandatory today. Really just delightful, and such great cars but you all know that!

Hey @slowdude thanks for that. I’m assuming the heater is 1500w, I’ll have to try that and see how it works. I know it’s undersized, but hey, anything would help.
-
Hey @Marek thanks for that information. I had contemplated doing that, but based on my garage size it was larger than needed. I’ll probably go with a small electrIc heater to keep it workable in winter. How’s your Rotus going?
-
Thanks @JohnCh, I appreciate your feedback. Looks like a standard heater will do the job. The unit you have isn’t available any longer but I’ve found others that are similar.

I realize this is an old topic. I’m looking to install an electric, ceiling mounted garage heater, about 5K KW for a 600 +/- sf garage. I’m curious if people installed explosion proof units in their garages, or standard units. Any thoughts from the community are appreciated!
