do they mass produce turbo filters for a 2000 Civic SI ??.. this is what is covering my turbo right now.. do they mass produce them for my car, or do i have to get it custom.. another question is it even needed??? or is what i have fine??

thanks!

 

anyone??.. i'm talking about a piping with the filter.. that goes under or over the radiator

 

Whoa, custom make the piping if need be......but get a filter on that thing ASAP. You'll wish you had if that turbine gets intimate with a rock or something. Plus dirt is quite bad.

 

yes they do make one, drag makes one u can call up urbanimport.com i think thats where i got mine for about 125

 

I'm a fan of DIY, so... naturally i would suggest you just order a mandrel "u" bend and cut it, weld it up or take it to a muff shop and have them weld it depending how you want the bend. i'm sure its well under $125.

 

yeah, get a filter for that thing and try to fab up your own arm.
the fit in my engine bay was very very tight. so i had to get
some rubber hosing which never melted surprisingly from home
depot and threw on the filter on the other side

 

yeah i was thinking of getting a rubber housing with a filter on it.. but i was scared it would melt.. i think i'll do that till i get the piping for it thanks

 

bump.. cause my NA stock S2K can whoop his ***...haha,

jk'in radford, shoulda asked me first.. ida told you to just get a piece of mandrel bent pipe

kteller.com might have something, just guessing

It seems like common sense to me that you would just have to measure the inlet size for the turbo and order a filter with the same size flange....

 

I would definately get a filter on there ASAP... you don't know how much dust and junk you are sucking through the tight clearances in your turbo and into your intake manifold...

I used a UNI motorcycle filter on my car, which I bought from a parts store... it's small enough to fit in the small space I have to work with and filters the air really well... my turbo response actually improved when I switched from a screen like you are running to this filter...

 

here is a better pic of my filter setup

 

pm ben at importparts.com, he can sell you the pipe your looking for

 

seems like the 90 with the filter at the top works well. this is how i have mine.

This is the route I went. Used a K&N rc-2330 filter. 2in inlet, 3in filter tapers - 2in. Little sucker, but it fits in there and I'm not screened anymore.

 

go to k&n website, they have tons of filter sizes, check your engine bay, picture the best location for filter and order from there.

 

yeah imma do a rubber housing .. till i get the mandrel piping done.. thanks everyone

 

"the material we use is an orange flexible hose with a steel liner. If you
knowhere you want your filter to go, just figure out the length and we
will get a piece of material cut to length for you. I think it is
22$/foot fyi. If you have any other questions feel free to email me
back. Thanks!"-geoff
