everyone bangs on about enclosed filter.
but im going to get a big cossie cone filter and make some piping up to get it near the slam panel, then make a heat sheild.
imo, this could work better than an enclosed kit.
what you think?

Scott^p · 30th December 2006, 00:03

could do the trick nicely depending ont eh heat shield, Tam has a decent air damn for his ax.

THough my procomp will do me nicely

bullit · 30th December 2006, 00:25

scott im sure i outbidded you on a procomp a while back
williams the slam panel will need hacking

Scott^p · 30th December 2006, 00:54

you probably did i did bid on 2 i think on ebay

bullit · 30th December 2006, 01:02

Scott^p · 30th December 2006, 01:13

williamsvts · 30th December 2006, 01:52

why will i need to hack slam panel? depends where i put it.

bullit · 30th December 2006, 01:55

there only a small gap isnt there

williamsvts · 30th December 2006, 01:57

i will have all the area where airbox was and in front of battery, plenty of room to fit a filter in.

I was thinking of doing something similar with mine, but moving the filter to the inside of the front bumper where the fogs go. I would need to run the pipework past the rad or take a section of the slam pannel away and feed the pipe through where the second fan is in the vts

williamsvts · 30th December 2006, 15:30

wouldnt it get wet down there though?

Dan · 30th December 2006, 16:39

Would be interesting to see how it would do.

argylefan1985 · 30th December 2006, 18:52

Im currently working on an idea along those lines, want to move mine down behind the fog lights with kinda like well... what can only be described as a housing for the cone, so it will be nearly an enclosed one.

hesslevtr · 30th December 2006, 19:01

cammedvtr has something like this

he has a heat shield but think it only fits when he has no headlight in

Scott^p · 30th December 2006, 19:04

At the end of the day All filters regardless of type, size, brand or location all suffer from the same problem . . .

Gettin enough COLD air to the filter.

Scoops are find in theroy but IMO (Ive had one so I would know) the scoop bolts flush to the slam panel and only draws cold air through Two Tiny holes in the slam panel, so although they are protected from heat soak they can not draw enough cold air untill upto speed and cold air is being forced into the scoop.

IMO a open cone with a decent cold air feed is better day to day. But thats only IMO.

Race inspirerd 'Cold Air Box' systems are truley the way forward for maximum power gains but space is always an issue.

The REAL power gains are not in the filter its self but more importantly in how the cold air is delivered to the filter which will unlock the most power.

:-) Rant over (Sorry)
