Ok here's my turbo and i can't fit a filter. Well i can fit a 90 degree bend but it gets smashed to like 1 inch and i think when im boosting it just sucks the coupler even closer making a big restriction( would you agree or no... So im wondering my turbo is not close to the ground and probably hard for big chunks of crap to get it. I want to run no filter and no screen, i don't see the point of a screen it will still suck up dirt and screen = loss of power too.. Give me some ideas on what to do

 

you could probably make up a metal intake tube and get a filter on it, but i wouldent if it was my car.

 

umm.......i would figure out SOMETHING....i mean what if you are behind a truck and it's hauling sand..and a few grains get in there.....the cylinder walls are toast......just my 2 cents.....

Why wouldn't you? I think you have the best idea. Get a pipe in there and get it to bend someplace there is enough room for a filter. Filters are important.

 

heres some better pics. I could fit a nice 4" pipe but them i wouldn't have a heater, its the retarded heater core hose's. My current 90 degree inlet coupler is touching them and thats why my coupler is smased.


Would be it okay to just run no inlet for track propose. unless someone can find me some 4" piping that is grader then 90 degree

 

Have you been to ATP turbo? Maybe they have something you can use.

thats what im holding my hand a 4" to 4" 90 degree coupler

 

That thing looks looks bigger to me, I was looking at this one and it seemed like a tighter bend.

 

nvm thats the 3.5" to 4" man maybe i should get it

If you have to sacrifice heat, do so. Do you want no heat, or no engine/turbo? Even if the only option is to get a different manifold, do it. Whatever it takes to do so, run a filter.

 

yeah im going to figure something out tonight

 

Also, what kind of filter are you trying to run? I looked around K&N's website untill I found a filter that seemed like it would work for me. This is what I found and it works great, kinda hard to see the angle in the pic but you get the idea:

 

made it work heres a pic.

Looks Great!!

Im sure you feel alot more comfortable with a filter on there!!

how big is that coupling?

looks like it would work for something im trying to do...

can you measure from 1 side to the farther point of the 90....mi tryin to sqeeze it in about 6-7"...i might be able to shave some of the elbow down to get it to work
