Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti

[Bidja]

Hi John. The filter is a 150 long pod filter. i have recently swapped the filter that came with it for a new K&N and found that the K&N was about 2mm to big to fit through the hole!!! I ended up using a hammer to panel beat the outer edge of the pod until i got my 2mm back and the pod went into the box! I was flabbergasted that this airbox did not fit a standard sized K&N Filter straight in. for the sake of a couple of mm it was ridiculous. I dont know what brand of washable filter is supplied but it was slightly smaller than the K&N.

There is surprisingly a reasonable amount of room around the filter. the filter is mounted to the lid which is on a slight angle making plenty of room in the box. The box is 4" in and 4" out and the induction noise from my car is off its TiTs!!. Really loud and Turns Heads.

The forward facing Ram Head came with the Snork and is basically the same as a safari head but in 4" Looks Sik and works Great. the induction Noise in the cab is very manageable by comparison to a rear facing. Love it.

Thanks Darren, guess having the filter @ angle will encourage the air to flow around pod (this is good). What minimum distance (clearance) do you recon between the filter pod base and the bottom of can?
Have read of a 30mm min design clearance rule between the filter outside faces and its box/can inside profile (for effective flow/filtration).

Sounds like she is drawing real well. Interesting, with my procharge stage 3 h/f turbo (max B 26psi) 3" induction to turbo (IC stock size) got spool sound/real hoot, now with JT cooler 600x300x76mm core the induction is quiet as, does draw of course but no spool sound of note. Pulls well, just need to mod further.
