kcw 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Evening guys and galsI'm looking for a bit of advice or pictures of your air filters, I'm having my chassis legs smoothed and repainted so I don't want them to be hidden by a big old air filter, so where are yours and are there any trick places I could hide it? Airbox down by the subframe to protect it fro any water?Hit me with some ideas guys, thanksKen Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 had mine down behind the bumper but that was with a vortech so had to be there but its thought ..... Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeh but how would I get it there from behind the block to there without going over the chassis legs? Was gonna run my boost pipes under the sump so dunno how much space there will be there. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 best have a small boost pipe then lol Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 There's about a 2.5" space at the NS of the sump could run a boost pipe from the turbo through there without any clearance issues, unless you were already hitting your sump that is. Link to post Share on other sites
sharky_70 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 the red car is a VRT believe it or not, although i think its running a kinetic or C2 stage 1 kit which isnt intercooled and running very low boostthis obv isnt turbod but shows the intake nice and hidden. dunno how much heat it would take in though and obv you'd have a prob with the brake servo and cylinder, pot etc Link to post Share on other sites

gavinvr6 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 holy shit, that red one is smooooooooth. the black one must get serious heat soak though. come to think of it the red one dont look to clever either, my guess is trailor tarts. but either way some very nice work gone into em Link to post Share on other sites

kcw 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Red one is actually intercooled its between the gearbox and the subframe off the top of my head. Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 i have an idea but it aint easy..... Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 you can tuck in to the wing behind the struts. but you will need to vent the wing and nothing will be standard. and I am making assumptions on your fire wall if your gong th whole hog. If you can keep an oval to the cross sectional shapes then you can still get good performance and flow through them.I know this works on a mk 2 Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I had thought of that I was hoping to keep the scuttle as I don't wanna ditch the heater matrix wipers etc. Was thinking inside the scuttle at the drivers side and run a narrow cold air feed through the tops of the wings to it.You got a pic of what you mean on mk2s?

Phat VR6 3 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 make the inlet go into the chassie leg it self. Flexy piping inside with a filter at the end :-p Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not a bad idea Bodge, would it weaken the leg much cutting a big old hole out it? Link to post Share on other sites
