I have had a good long read in all sections and searched for the answer before someone shouts at me, but I couldnt really find anything conclusive..

I cant see a long length of pipe causing a problem. Most modern cars have a long cold air feed from the front to the air box. I am no expert though.

Don't think it really makes all that much difference in a mini, the flow of cool air to the back of the engine bay whilst driving is enough, the rad fan chucks about a bit of air if not 100% in the cowling too. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

This is my quandry. End of the day I am not trying to set any records, I just dont want to impede my performance by not running the pipe to the front like the above photo.. |

the air would not have time to warm up with the long pipe |

Possibly easier to duct cold air to the filter via a smaller pipe than would be used for the filter, if that's the sort of thing you're after? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I would always try and get the air from the cool air coming through the grill. It might not be a massive performance advantage, but if you can get a few degrease colder air its added safety to stop the engine melting. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

If the intake is colder it will run leaner. Keep an eye on your afrs |
