dream3R's R Project

Straight to 3rd then lol

Not that bad but it's fun How does you open cone work for you? Assuming it is as per your piccy there.

[M-R-P]

The stainless filter went a while ago, it looked good and sounded nice but as soon as it got damp, it rusted (stainless my arse lol) it's got a cheap fleabay twincone filter on it now.

TBH (bearing in mind I don't check things like AITs etc) the only filter I've found that makes any kind of difference to performance was a Blitz Sonic shielded cone filter and that pile of crap cost me 18 whp on back to back runs (yeah - an 18whp drop in power with it on!)

I'm having fun shoe horning my mahoosive K&N in-to the airbox so am contemplating running it straight on-to the RS4 MAF housing for the time being....

[M-R-P]

As long as you can get clean airflow to it, it should be usable. I took the rubber seal off the windscreen scuttle panel to allow better airflow through the top of the engine bay. However - that allows hot air from the bay to enter the cabin via the vent in the scuttle panel. Not fun in the summer lol.

[Dream3r]

I'm going to bore out the airbox as much as possible at th e weekend then try and get the hoses fitted. Fun, fun

Problem is I made a 90 mm id neck and the audi maf isn't made 90mm id on the filter side, it's just anything (90 mm +/-) as they use panel filters. I can't get a jubilee clip around it as the screw holder is in the way, I'll tickle it to see if it works. Then the filter is slightly off centre, making the 4 ply piping difficult. Might have to resort to some ducting.

Not had an update for a while.

I've had a chance to do a little mapping and logging amidst the madness that Jan normally brings me.

60-100 is measured at around 5.3/4 seconds with the new turbo, staying in 3rd, not bad for an 1.7 ton R! I think my previous best was 5.9 with the KKK. This was in third, fourth I expect the figures to be better still but I can't think I ever measured fourth with the KKK in that manner, or at least I'd have to look through ooodles of log files to find it.

I've also further fine tuned the injectors, which I'm happy with the results, lambda 1 at idle with no stutter and very smooth part throttle around town and I'm still within 1% of factory fuel trims on my old greens. Happy

I'll keep this updated if anyone is interested. Must get the RS4 maf fitted and a suitable filter found....

Let's hope the turbo holds up for the long term, since I'm the first one in the UK to try it

ITG do an enclosed 102mm cone. Only issue is creating a cold feed to fit onto it.

I'm definitely keeping stock airbox, bored out.

Please keep us posted!! Good work

Will do!

In that case the 102mm ITG I use comes in either a straight cylinder shape or conical.

[Dream3r]

Any links mate?

[Wobbly Dave]

I got mine from camskill - other suppliers are available

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m35b0s3496...on_Airbox_Kits

This is the cylinder I bought.

http://itgfilters.net/collections/it...ucts/15jc60-99

Do you plan to use 102mm all the way to the turbo or are you reducing it after the MAF?

There are other places I found too

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ITG-Maxoge...item3a9b42fe32

http://www.itgairfilters.com/company...ubutors_UK.asp

(this includes HLM - although I realise you are probably less likely to order from Hamish).

[Wobbly Dave]

ps if you wanted an enclosed airbox to go with the JC60/99 then this is the one to have (the only one it fits in)

Thanks mate, I'll take a gander this week, I appreciate it.

Spoke to ITG's sales dept. Only airbox with 102mm OD neck is the aluminium ones. Which is just as well as the carbon ones are not cheap and would make me probably make some lame excuse and stick one on the plastic.

[Dream3r]

Thanks, Pipercross I'm also looking at.

CaR needs some maintenance work done now so it may slow progress, PCV needs done amongst another CV boot by the sounds of it.

jst pt a 90mm sock filter in the airbox john

[Dream3r]

Having trouble finding one that fits mate. the K&N I bought doesn't.

I will sound lovely open but I want to retain the stock air box.
