ti vs NK airbox


Recommended Posts

I'm coming to this group for help.  I'm looking to find a ti airbox like shown below:

I'm pretty sure this is a true ti airbox.  In the picture, both the front and back air intakes on the end caps come off the top of the end cap. 

 

I've had two different people try to sell me an NK airbox.  The difference in the NK airbox is that the air intake on the front end cap comes off the bottom of the end cap instead of the top.  See below:

The NK airbox is not my first choice but I was wondering if it will work on my 72 with dual 40 DCOEs?

Aren't the two caps identical? I'm not sure but when I get home after Christmas I will check mine.

If they are, then you can swap them around to make the intake be at the top or the bottom.

I believe the NK airbox does not have the cut away that was needed for the ti booster.

I don't think the end caps are identical - meaning not sure if you can just flip them over to use them on opposite sides.  The clips may not line up.

This has be come a tough search.  I've had 2 reputable parts sources and 1 private party tell me they have a ti airbox.  I got pictures of all 3 only to see that all 3 there were really NK airboxes. 

 

Anyone on in this group know of a reliable source for a real ti airbox?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
