Air Filter

[Jamest5r]

Had this lying around for a while so i thought i should give it a go....need a heat shield if anyone has one for sale and a bit off sorting to make more secure how have other's secured the filter and to where?

Cheers

i have removed the bottom half of the airbox, and adapted the original air duct to feed straight into the cone filter. i have not got round to finding or making a heatshield but nor have i noticed any "heat soak".

nor me . My fastest quarter mile time was done with a open cone filter, & that was sitting in the fire-up lane before doing the run which is when it should of affected it the most

drilled holes in my bonnet, and monitor air intake temp.

my temp will drop from 50c to just above outside temp within a mile of driving.

Cheers lads, not bothered about the heat soak if it even exists lol, just need to know how you have fixed the cone to stop it moving around i cant live with cable ties forever lol

I just made a heat shield out of perspex and mounted the maf onto it.

on mine iv cut the flexi bit out of the pipe work and had been joined with a straight metal piece holds the filter quite securely plus it wedged by the dizzy cap.

Didnt like the long pipe so made the run abit shorter.

looks a lot better Rnash & got rid of a nasty restrictive 180degree corner in the process

if you cut out the corrugated flex section out of the intake pipe just before the turbo & replace it with a metal joining pipe it moves the top corner further back so got more room for the filter canister, plus it gets corrugated section causes turbulence disturbing the air flow
