Stock Location Inlets w/ Most Clearance for Belt system

Oembmw · 04-26-2022, 08:44 PM

Looking for a stock location inlet kit (1.75) that has the most clearance for the belt system.

I have seen many N54s with inlets that touched the belt system. Or they had to secure the inlet with a zip tie to keep it off the belts.

Thank You!

no issues with my VSRF. They have a step to help move them away from the pulleys

I was saving those for my imaginary set of Game Finishers lol.

Might just have to pull the trigger on those.

Ive seen people cut up their stock front inlet and reinstall it to keep it as a guard to in between the silicone inlet & the belts to keep it off of them

I have VRSF 1.75 on my car. You need to zip tie it to the fan shroud and the charge pipe to make sure it does not hit the belt or pulleys. It takes 5 minutes to do and is cheap insurance.
