Default Cable to Hydro Drag 3 Turbo B18C1 CRX...Air Filter Options?

Just finished up a Cable to Hydro conversion in my CRX and now, I have no way of putting an air filter on. Any ideas of what I can do to filter the air without having to do anything crazy? All inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. Here are some pictures.

Looks like a screen is your only option. It will work fine though, but as mentioned above, I wouldn't drive in inclement weather.

any chance of flipping the turbo to put the compressor on the drivers side and making a new downpipe?

I'm pretty sure if he flipped the turbo, the exhaust housing would hit the radiator.

i would recommend a multi layer approach

1. medium mesh screen

2. flat oiled foam covering mesh
-- use this: http://unifilter.com/online%20....html P/N BF-4 & UFF-100

3. coarse mesh screen covering foam

4. hose clamp to secure all 3

or you could try modifying one of these

are you able to shim that clutch cable bracket to move it slightly out of the way?

Are you serious?

There is no way a Screen will filter out as much as a Foam Filter will.

I have also seen Dyno Graphs where a filter made more power then a screen!
