What are you guys using? I've sourced some 3.5" piping, but what are you guys using for a coupling to the turbo and filter? What are you guys using for a filter?

Just curious, the biggest silicone couplers I can find are 3", and they're averaging $25/each which is outrageous. Anyone know if Napa has 3.5" radiator hose?

EDIT: Also, how much is it going to effect performance if I run a filter witha 3" opening?

 

take some pics id like to see how u make this

 

hahaha, I'd love to see how I'm gonna make it too... just can't justify running mesh screen on an SC61.

I'll take pics once this thing takes shape... I don't even have the turbo yet.

 

this will be wuite interesting actually. I myself am mindboggled in how he is going to make this work. I am hopefully bringing the turbo home to you this wknd as we discussed on the phone. if not this weekened we will figure out how to get it to you asap!

 

i've never seen a turbo with a 3.5" inlet??

 

I can get 4" Hose

Here's 4" inlet.









As far as what to use... this is a bad picture, but I recall Todd used part of a (domestic??) CAI to mount the filter off to the side a little. I think it was a piece off his old 5.0 before he turbo'd it. Here:

 

SC61 has a 3" inlet(E housing) unless you get a S housing then it will be 4".

 

lots of sizes here

You like some short women!

There is a K&N style for ford (I think its ford) that is 4 inch.. Im sure it would have enough surface area to supply air without a restriction.

 

haha man i have a turbo with a 5in inlet its a holset ht60 and i cant use it on my car haha its too big

 

I'm not sure where I got 3.5", after looking again DiRep is right.. mine's gonna be 3".

 

Problem solved lol
