How is everyones air filter set up?

[__B3NNY__]

You must be getting so much heatsoak with the filter there, you havent even got a cold air feed going into the end of the viper!!!! My idea would be to run a cold air feed from the wing/front of bumper into the end of the filter like a viper should be set up. If the filter is 100mm or smaller in diamater it will fit in the wing you just have to move the battery forward. My cold air feed is 100mm it is tight but it fits.

the base of viper is about 150mm and the intake hole where cold air feed would go is 76mm!

[donovan2123]

il will try home base 2moro! what size ducting do u have im guna put inductiong kit close to battery as possibale so its close to wing then cold air feed down wing might even pop out fog light cover duno if that will look silly thou

 

[__B3NNY__]

My ducting is 100mm but your proberly better off going for 75/80mm if the apperture is around that size. You might be better off going to smith and low off hollow way in cowley i expect there have a much bigger vairity and cheaper too.

air filter sorted i think brought ducting from smith and low oxford! is that a good set up now????

2nd picture is in the grill jabbed next to radiator so it wnt move! went out in car to let car heat up then touched induction kit which was very cool and touched pipe which luck warm further up pipe wer its touching radiator

car accelerates alot more thing i noticed thou is that i have lost the roar! could this be down to incuction kit being for from intake!

 

[David_smith_909]

put your filter back where it was and run the ducting down from the other side of the filter into your wing.......

if its only wedged in, it will come loose ........

 

[__B3NNY__]

Indeed filter was fine where it was just needed the ducting running down to the wing, Move the battery forward aswell so the ducting isnt crushed and out of shape. Your getting there

SPT makes a comeback

however the initial hose off the TB looks too expensive to be classed as SPT

 

[donovan2123]

is filter alright where it is now though????ducting isnt crushed just angle of picture

 

[__B3NNY__]

it looks ok its where most open coned filters end up, but it doesnt look very secure and could bounce about and dislodge itself from the ducting, It was more secure in the 1st place, Move it back mate and just run the ducting to the wing. thats what i would do anyway.

[donovan2123]

would that course heat soak putting it back!!! the fact that filter is closer to engine! also its secure i have zipped tied hoses which are connected to induction side to secure

you have got a cold air field and your filter is 'sheilded' ...... think logical mate....

move it back .........

 

[donovan2123]

will it make a difference moving it??? like i said it is pretty secure!!
