Kamotors New intake kits+ posssible turbo CAI

[kamotors]

Doesn't look like the filter has that much surface area compared to others. Especially with the dome shaped thing at the end.

that picture doesnt really do it justice, the filter is 6.5 inches across and 5" tall. I'll cut it up and show some better pictures it should have more surface area than stock filter. Its a bit on the stubby side so it looks smaller than it is. The entire canister is actually 7" across compared to my current kit which is about 5.5" and the done straightens turbulent air entering the canister.

N/A possibility

I think for the turbo setup if the canister is 7" diameter at the widest point of the filter it should stay 7" diameter at the inlet to, if that works fitment wise. That way you dont have any ristriction similar to running the filter uncovered in the engine bay. This is just a thought and seems like it could work in my head.

I think I may go with a completely different style filter for the turbo setup. I may go with one of those cone filters with the inverted cone in the tip. the reason to use a shield is because it gets a lot of air flow in the front valance and gets dirty very quick without one.

Im not saying get rid of the sheild comlletely just keep it the same diameter over the whole filter instead of following the cone shape. Also ive seen the turbo suck the rubber peice that joins the inverted filter right off and destroy the turbo. So you may not want to use that style of filter.

oh snap^ that doesn't sound good.

I think I've found the filter setup I will use. It will use a velocity stack and filter setup, no shield. It will use a 6" wide velocity stack and then the Filter will install onto that. This is actually how the COBB short ram intake on my subaru works.

Interesting.
Do you have a picture of that setup?
I need to figure out a intake setup for my turbo car so you have my interest in this if you can make one with a 4" outlet.

here is the cobb setup

I've order about 3 different air filters today so I'll have updates soon. I've bought some spectres,velocity stacks,K&N X-stream and other random goodies. If the velocity stack doenst fit I will likely go with a K&N x-stream filter for the turbo intake kit. the price will obviousally go up like $70 but that's the price to pay for a quality intake kit.

so I designed a good turbo CAI system, it fits with no cutting to the car as long as you car does NOT have A/C. you just have to reposition the horn and either run a fog blank or no fog at all.

got some black shields

two filters?

[kamotors]

I can use just about any style filter, I just design the plumbing and use what air filter is suitable I've decided a larger filter is needed for a turbo car, from my calculations the canister style flows around 700cfm which isnt bad but the K&N X-stream that I'm using in my turbo E30 flows over 1000cfm I believe.

It would be cool to see a side-by-side comparo and some flow numbers for your new kit vs. your cf kit.

I did a filter vs no filter and gained around 30tq. I think 5'' long in 4''.
Find one with the inverted cone if you can.

that K&N is the x-stream kind where the lid of the filter is also a filter
