air intake pipes s2 3b

[Erikb]

Thanks Carlo, but I think I will go for the ITG foam filter, on my previous car I also had a Pippercross foam filter. It was really hugh but worked fine for my previous car.

For my s2 I will will make a heath shield and run a cold air feed (a flexible aluminium hose with at the end a funnel) from the front of the car to the filter. Ofcourse you will always have it heatening up when you stand still.

Can you just connect the ITG filter to the MAF sensor or do you need something between the MAF and the filter ( I thought I read something about this).

thanks again

I should have one extra #18 for 3B somewhere

[Erikb]

Thanks porkkis, but I think when I sum all the parts which I need the total amount will be much higher then when I buy a ITG filter make a heat shield and fit a cold air feed to the filter

[Erikb]

When I replace the filter I also want to clean the MAF sensor. I know the best solution to use is IPA I found some companies on the internet which sell sprays or complete jerrycans 1/5/20 ltr. What is the best to use the spray or just the liquide?

Or is it possible to buy another solutions which also works fine and can be bought just about everywhere

thanks,

I just looked at the ITG airfilters, I thought the people that bought the filter are using the JC60 series. underneath, on the website of ITG, I see a list with all the bhp figures. In the future I would like to drive with a chipped RS2 set up. Is it smart to buy directly a filter that can provide power till 380 ps. Is this also suitable for my a standard 3b car?

Ok, its a tight fit I believe, but it fits if I look at the picture. Can this one be runned on a stock s2 3b? Do you have a small piece of pipe fitted between the MAF sensor and the ITG filter?

[martinjs]

i dont see why it cant be used on a stock engine, but it depends what sort of power you are aiming for, as to which size filter to use
yes ive got a short piece of hose connecting the filter to maf

[Erikb]

for the moment I dont want to go further the chipped RS2 set up, I believe this will be around 370 PS?.

When there is 5 cm between MAF and the filter this will be enough I think?

Mine is connected straight to the MAF. I've read somewhere that it shouldn't be as it can cause too much vibration and break the MAF wire but I haven't had any problems with it.

I'd get the filter and maf as close together as possible, mine are actually touching, i doubt you will have room otherwise with the JC60/80 anyway

[Erikb]

What did you guys pay for the ITG JC60/80 filter, I have to pay 100 euro in the Netherlands.

[s2avant]

Mine cost about £45 including the oil. I got a discount because I got it direct from ITG and sorted out the MD with some bits for his B5 S4.

100 euros is around £70. You'd probably pay the same if you got one from the UK and had it posted.

I cleaned the MAF and fitted the ITG filter, It is running fine. But I miss the normall push in the back when I pass the 3500 revs. Do you guys experienced the same ?.

It feels a bit quicker in higher revs, but a bit less powerfull in lower revs.

[s2avant]

I have found mine feels less powerful at lower revs but does seem to pull more strongly at higher revs. It feels slower of the mark but is a lot more eager to go when at high speed.

As for the push in the back, I've got used to mine so it doesn't feel that fast anymore. My girlfriend assures me it is as quick as ever. Unfortunatley getting used to the performance is the most expensive thing that can happen
