Is it really that bad? Any suggestions...for a broke college student that cant afford a pipe and filter.

 

Im curious too..how the hell do you run a filter on a 60-1? Do I need some kind of 4' elbow and coupling or what? I dont even think that **** will fit...

 

well...do you want to replace your turbo, and motor.

 

well i dont have a filter, im daily driven for about the last 2-3 months. of couse i spend like 20bucks on my turbo and want a B16 soon (it will get a filter)....

 

put a filter on it.

you ever cleaned your stock air filter at all? notice any little rocks.

Those rocks = bye bye turbo/engine

Spendy $20 on a filter or spend $6k on a new engine/turbo setup. your chioce

very true...but anyone know where I can get a pipe to lead from my turbo so I can put a filter on it???

 

sand and blades spinning at 100,000+rpms, do a lot of damage!

 

yo, i have a 4 inch inlet, and really no room to put a filter there between the turbo and the framerail, is there a really (really) thin filter with a 4 inch inlet thats available? or do i have to use a pipe with a filter, any help would be great, thanks

 

if you cant get a filter for it you can use a lil wire mesh(like the pasta strainer)the put like a piece of cloth over that then another piece of mesh over that. Just in case u dont have room for a filter

 

where can you buy the filter piping?
i bought drag piping, but i guess it doesn't come with the air filter piping.

 

Just get a 180° mandrel bent section of pipe that's the same diameter as your inducer. Then get a filter that will flow as much or more CFMs as the turbo will, and make sure it has the same diameter as the pipe.

Example- T3. 2.5" inducer diameter. You'd get a 180° mandrel bent u 2.5" pipe and a cone filter with a 2.5" throat that will flow at least 350 CFM. Then some 2.5" sillycone couplers and hose clamps, cut the u pipe to fit the bends you need; badda bing, badda boom, done.

 

i used screen from a screen door. cut out a square and through it on the end of the turbo w/ a clamp. when i went to the track, i took it off and ran bare. works fine.

 

Home depot.

 

I use a K&N cone filter with a 4" inlet for my 60-1. It's only 3 inches tall and fits perfect.

 

dryer tubing should work, the flexible kind.

 

I bought a 4" exhaust mandrel bend elbow, T-bolt clamps and 4" coolant hose from Napa and made my intake for my 60-1. Oh yeah, I also ordered the K&N from them as well.
