Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - ginge191 - 08-07-2013 Fitting a 'shroom filter to the GTI but wondering what people are using to extend the inlet from the TB. 90* silicone? flexy pipe? basically, the 'shroom fouls on the pipework so needs to be put towards the bottom of the bay; the usual space? I believe it's a 76mm inlet? any help would be awesome. RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - Midnightclub - 08-07-2013 In all seriousness, if you aren't fussed about intake noise, put it in the standard air box? That way you don't need to worry about sucking up a pond through it either.. Done it on mine and its more responsive over the stock filter RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - ginge191 - 08-07-2013 Havnt got the stock setup Got chucked out I believe! RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - Curt - 08-07-2013 IMO, the filter set up on my old GTi was the best I heard. PiperX filter, straight on the body. Didn't need anything else. I couldn't care less about heat soak as it sounded amazing... I'm guessing it fouls because it's wide as opposed to a normal size? If so I'd get a small straight silicone coupler and a metal joiner just to make it clear Re: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - Puggie - 08-07-2013 90º bend 80mm to 70mm reducer k&n apollo closed induction kit My filter is located half way between chassis leg and bumper Re: RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - vlj - 08-07-2013 (08-07-2013, 11:07 AM)Curt Wrote: IMO, the filter set up on my old GTi was the best I heard.

It only fouls because they've got the stock flexy that the icv feed goes into, so it can be bolted straight onto the TB then breather filter on the feed so you can ditch off the OEM pipe RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - ginge191 - 08-07-2013 90º bend - assuming that's a silicone piece to come off the TB? 70mm reducer - solid pipe to adapt the air filter? i know the filter has adapters with it; not sure what size as she insists on keeping it "in" her car Re: RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - vlj - 08-07-2013 (08-07-2013, 11:16 AM)ginge191 Wrote: 90º bend - assuming that's a silicone piece to come off the TB? There will be an adapter to fit 75/6mm in it for sure RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - ginge191 - 08-07-2013 awesome; you got and spare pipe to join the silicone and filter? don't fancy spending out for a piece of small pipe RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - cwspellowe - 08-07-2013 If you're going to bother fitting an aftermarket filter you need as long and smooth an inlet tract as possible, and 3" pipe. Personally if the mouth of the filter is less than 76mm I wouldn't bother with it. I saw 10bhp difference at a rolling road just by fitting a filter a little on the small side, followed by a massive k&n filter. If you insist though, silicone joiner, 90degree large radius ally pipe, then a joiner to fit the cone.

TB - 90* silicone - metal coupler - filter. these would suffice? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blue-Silicone-Hose-Elbow-90-Degree-76mm-/170653312865?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bbbae761 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APS-Metal-Aluminium-Alloy-Hose-Joiner-Connector-Pipe-76mm-Long-1-5mm-Thick-/360592207573?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&var=&hash=item53f4f86ed5 And it's for Eli; she wants this on asap; the filter on at the moment is diabolical in fairness. The filter itself is a decent size RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - cwspellowe - 08-07-2013 Yeah I'm just thinking of the mouth of the filter, i spent months researching perfect inlets for the gti which lead to me chopping the bonnet up, although now it's more for show than anything. What you say will suffice, just try if you can to keep and bends as smooth and large radius'd as you can, really helps with midrange torque. Whacking it straight onto the throttle body destroys airflow. RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - ginge191 - 08-07-2013 will do cheers! The mouth of the filter has a bunch of adapters, so i'm sure something will fit. /bodged RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - cully - 08-07-2013 http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-13188-post-288491.html#pid288491 goes onto the std airbox but you get the idea as the3 std airpipe feed with the icv feed i couldnt get 76mm flexible silicon hose ebay 18mm ash breather filter ebay RE: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - Dum-Dum - 08-07-2013 If you use a different induction kit it will go straight on a 6 throttle body. Might be easier than faffing with pipes. Re: Inlet extension for air filter; GTi6 - what do you use? - Puggie - 08-07-2013 80mm to 70mm reducer 90º ali bend i swear to god i put a picture up :/ |
