And before anyone says it i dont really what to go de filtered

2 meters of flexi pipe should do the trick, behind the engine and over the gearbox

Ok cheers so do you think have a 90deg bend off the turbo and the onto the flexi pipe?

Also would i want 1 or 2 ply?

[silverzx]

I still need to get some of this...!

>_<

TD04 inlet size anyone?

[ginge191]

I had a nice setup before on my old DT before I defiltered it. Had a U bend from the turbo, with a 90* bend to bring the filter to the front of the car

I'll try find some pics of you want?

Yeah pics would be ideal if you can find some cheers

You don't need any bends as this stuff if flexible

Straight off the turbo and then wherever you want

Still have the standard tmic pipe on mine, works fine but occasionally it causes a bit of vibration through the pedals

cheers guys, i think its off a mondeo or a transit? jenk made the kit, sold it to chris90 and now its ended up with me! thats the reason why i got it really, like things to be oem!

[lee52]

so are u not running a fan or is it mounted behind rad

[Mitch]

I don't have one, car never really goes above 80, if it does, heater on flat out an windows down

Can't be running much boost then...

Clearly not. Asking for trouble not running a fan on a boosted xud

Not necessarily, depends what turbo, what fuelling, how it's driven.. I run manual fans and don't need them unless sat in traffic on a hot day. When you're doing over 30mph you don't need the fans anyway.

[Jimbo]

But theres always gonna be a time your sat in traffic. For the effort of fitting the fmic just wack a fan and switch in

21 psi on a T2, previously 28 psi on a k14, the car doesn't get hot, no matter how much death it's given, gets to 80 and that's it, so I don't really see the need for the fan?

I got the intercooler pipes all fitted today and i dont know where to have an air filter and how to run the pipes. Anyone got any ideas?

[Tom]

^^^ love that! Looks like such a clean set up!

[Dum-Dum]

That is an awesome looking set up but the top pipe is gonna hit the bonnet.

Id run a pipe above the right hand boost pipe and then out to the air filrer or even have it behind the battery with some ducting.

Yeah i think your right. I have cut a bit off the pump to get the pipe down a bit but i will have to have a think and sort something out.

Have to have more of a think/look about the air filter but i was thinking about trying to get it run down the right hand side

Have you thought about trying the tmic pipe? It's said to be restrictive but it's got to be better than hot and non filtered air surely?

[Frosty]

I have fort about it but i havent tried it and i think the intercooler pipes might be in the way. I will see how i get on before i try it

[Frosty]

I have decided to make the air filter pipe work out of the air ducting. Will be similar to what ricky had on his d turbo. I am now stuck on what air filter to use. I dont have a massive amout of room but now the size of the air filter make much difference?

[zx_volcane]

You still debating this lol?

Get it on You'll want as big an air filter as you can fit

[Frosty]

[Frosty]

And as for an air filter think i might just go for a cone filter like this and see how it fits
