OK, I've seen on previous posts how traxxas-modifier sucessfully modified the K&N (BM1199) by trimming it down to fit the T135. This got me thinking about my Nouvo.
So this is as far as I have got with my research...
The cut out original nouvo airfilter can accomadate a filter 92mm X 132mm and upto 33mm deep. Sadly I have been informed the smallest you can cut down the BM1199 is 100mm X 130mm, 8 mm to wide. There is no way 8mm could be cut out of the original filter housing so the BM 1199 will not be an option.
The story continues..
K&N have the 43-9074 (deisgned to fit a STIHL TS400 STONE CUTTER !!)
http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... od=43-9074
The dimensions are Outside Length: 5.354 in (136 mm)
Outside Width: 3.504 in (89 mm)
but to be honest the intake area is so small I'm not conviced it will be of any benefit. Any Ideas ?
However, then I found the 33-2238
http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... od=33-2238
The dimensions are Outside Length: 5.188 in (132 mm)
Outside Width: 4.438 in (113 mm). This looks like it has a more suitable intake filter area but I can't tell from the picture if the width could be cut down from 113mm to 92mm to fit the Nuovo. Does anyone have any better pics of this filter ?
So guys I'm trowing this one out there to see what your ideas and thoughts are on finding a performance airfilter that will fit the Nouvo. :idea:
