Mini Cooper Owners Have Option of New K&N Air Induction System

29 May 2007

BMW has changed the look of the 2007 Mini Cooper. It has grown slightly in size from the first generation to meet safety requirements. It also has more rounded contours at the rear..

Air Induction for Mini Cooper and One

K&N Engineering has developed an Air Induction System (57A-6033) for 2007 and 2008 Mini Cooper and Mini One and 2009, 2010 and 2011 Mini Cooper 1.6L and Mini Cooper Clubman 1.6L with the manual transmission. It is designed with the Apollo, a closed system designed to eliminate hot air problems and provide the benefits of an open cone filter and standard airbox in one unit.

The Apollo mounts directly into the cold air inlet to retrieve cooler outside air, which means better performance. Other hardware is included to connect the system to the throttle body.

All adaptors for the K&N Cold Air Induction Systems are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicone or reinforced nylon to ensure longevity. It takes 90 minutes or less to install this kit with simple hand tools.

Applications are as follows:

2011 MINI COOPER CLUBMAN 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.
2011 MINI COOPER 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.
2010 MINI COOPER CLUBMAN 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.
2010 MINI COOPER 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.
2009 MINI COOPER CLUBMAN 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.
2009 MINI COOPER 1.6L L4 F/I - Manual Trans.

Carlsbad Teen Makes Podium in Gatorz Karting Cup Rotax Max Challenge Series

25 May 2007

Jacob Pearlman (JP) earned his second podium finish in the Rotax Max Challenge Series at Willow Springs Raceway Kart Track in Rosamond, California.

The kart track at Willow Springs is a challenging .625 mile, 11 turn circuit. “It is predominately left turns with a great deal of grip,” said Jacob Pearlman’s father Richard Pearlman. “The track tends to eat up tires quickly. Finding and maintaining a fast set up during race day is a real challenge.”

The 14-year-old from Carlsbad, California was not as fast as he thought he would be and struggled to get the kart dialed in. In the pits the temperature hit more than 100 degrees. JP’s crew continued to work on getting his DPK/Birel M-31 prepared for the 30 lap final.

In the midday heat JP had a great start and immediately moved up to 4th. He moved his way up to 2nd, but it did not last long. Lou Pagano and Cameron Jocelyn passed on the next lap and JP dropped back to 4th. “My son returned the favor on Pagano, taking back 3rd place with a tight pass on the following lap,” said Pearlman. “Jacob and Pagano spent the next 22 laps fighting for the final spot on the podium. Jacob refused to give up the spot and slowly edged away to take the last spot on the podium.”

The Pearlman Family uses K&N Products. “To get to Willow Springs Raceway we have to traverse several steep grades to elevations approaching 5000 feet and temperatures at 100 degrees,” said Richard Pearlman. “Towing a 5000 pound racing trailer under these conditions can be very hard on our GMC Yukon tow vehicle. Our K&N Cold Air Induction System is critical to ensuring that we have the extra horsepower and reliability needed to make it to any track on our race schedule.”

JP will return to racing on June 9th at Moran Raceway with the Tri-C Karters. The teen will spend the next two weeks getting ready for his freshman final exams along with some on-track testing to prepare for his summer racing schedule.

Cadillac and Saturn Owners Get High Flow Rates with K&N Cartridge Oil Filter

25 May 2007

The Saturn L Series was based on the European Opel Vectra, but modified for the U.S. market. The Catera was also produced from an Opel design and was intended as a different kind of Cadillac. It was made without a V8 engine.

Aprilia V-Twin Racer Wins First Round of AMA Supermoto Unlimited Class

24 May 2007

Round one of the AMA National Championship occurred in St. Louis over the weekend. There was a new competitor in the series, the Factory Aprilia Rip It Energy Fuel Racing Team.

Ben Carlson wins AMA Supermoto Unlimited class at St. Louis

Factory Aprilia racer Ben Carlson made his debut on the Aprilia SXV 550 and won the AMA Supermoto Unlimited class. This was the first American victory for the V-twin racer.

Carlson qualified on the pole with team owner Darryl Atkins one row behind on the grid. After 12 laps, Carlson held off the competition using the SXV 550’s horsepower. “The long front straight and sweeping first corner suited the Aprilla,” said Atkins. “But it was not a cake walk. The level of competition has steadily increased over the years in the large displacement class. Carlson, however, proved his talent on the front straight by stretching his lead. By mid race he started to gap the field and won by over ten seconds.”

“I am so fired up that we took a win in our first round,” said West Bend, Wisconsin native Carlson. “The team gave me a great bike and we made very few changes to the set-up over the weekend. Darryl’s development work last year is paying off now, and it’s a huge bonus that he is a teammate.”

Atkins finished in fifth place. “We had ideal machines for this track,” he said. “The chassis really worked for us and we finally had a course where the bikes could really run.”

Team Factory Aprilla uses K&N products on its bikes. “We use K&N Air and Oil Filters,” said Atkins. “We tested with K&N prior to the event and our bikes ran better. It feels like we gained 2 plus horsepower on the track.”

The next round of the AMA Supermoto Championship will be at Englishtown, New Jersey on June 3rd.
