Diy air filter jobby

[terrybullwon]

The air box had to go! :mischeif: So ripped it out in minutes, weights alot and takes up lots of room, but on the plus side it has a little bit of insert moulded plastic wedged into it, so that came in use, now on order is a bit quikshift racing cone fillter, and cold air feeds are going to come from the towing eye and head light when i find some smaller gauage pipe, "Daddy" will get that here is some pictures......

Iv'e just had an alloy pipe set made that I am going to polish up to do that job works a treat and a good price too. I am changing from the K&N to a Ram air filter though as I think the filter I have is restricting air flow at the moment (it's not big enough)

would the pipe not collapse/flatten out when the turbo is spooled up? I'm all for re-locating the filter but sure u'd need something more rigid?????

[terrybullwon]

Dad is a MD of a company called vikoma internation, so he gets what he likes the pipe is heat resistant to high spec and is very ridgid, with steel rings spiriling through, the pipe costs?????? expensive i think.

You'll get a lot less air through that long pipe than you will through the airbox IMHO.

length = resistance

@Terry -what filter are you using and where have you put it? You must have a filter, you don't want to start sucking wasps in to your turbo believe me (I found a dead wasp mashed in to the filter element recently!)...

It is a good idea to try and get a good feed of cold air in to the intake generally though, I know quite a few of us here have tinkered with DIY attempts, myself included!

Do they work? The filter is in the post!!!! should be here today

The quickshift fillter is on, first impresions. EXCELLENT!!! When you put your foot down it sounds as if you are sucking up every thing infront of you women, children, dogs, ****** little saxo's etc. Then when you take your foot of the gas you get a massive whoooooossssh

Going to put a probe in the area so that i can get a temp reading of the air going into the fillter :mischeif:
