Better setup, HMT style
Well ive been reworking my setup for a little while working out some of the inefficiencies. the first step was removing a massive kink in my charge piping
before http://x11.putfile.com/3/7219000283-thumb.jpg after http://x11.putfile.com/3/7219010969-thumb.jpg Next thing i did was get rid of the motorcycle/radiator hose intake i had on the turbo for something better. Its made from a home depot reducer, intake piping from the ricer section of autozone, and a massive K&N filter. Still need to rig up a shield to protect it from water, but other then that it works really nicly. http://x11.putfile.com/3/7218591466-thumb.jpg http://x11.putfile.com/3/7218584015-thumb.jpg |

Re: Better setup, HMT style
alright fabbed up the shield, used some rubber mat and some duck tape i had laying around. The duck tape was used because the rubber mat was blue and i didnt want some random blue square in my fender

Re: Better setup, HMT style
that filter location is useless... it doeosnt need to be there. the ic will make the air coler then the air ur bringing in anyway. this is why i dont run filters... the air u bring in will heat up anyway cuz the turbo is hot as ----, so u try to bring in cold air, the turbo re-heats it, the intercooler drops the heat, then u get colder air..... move that filter, shorten the pipe n just stick the filter on the turbo its self.

Re: Better setup, HMT style
I'm not a fan of no filter at all, but i would move that filter. It will still get 100% soaked when you drive in the rain, I guarantee it. I would just stick some fine mesh on the turbo or route it inside the engine bay.

Re: Better setup, HMT style
alright guys to many people who know better then i do are telling me its a bad location so i went ahead and moved it.

Re: Better setup, HMT style
thats a good spot, gets good air. buut like i said for the reason of them being useless, now its gonna get kinida heatsoaked since its basically next to the turbo n manifold. better location tho. it'll still get sorta wet while driving in rain but so will everything else.

Re: Better setup, HMT style
ill take a pic later i made a heat sheild for it, had some sheet metal laying around

Re: Better setup, HMT style
That accordian tube thing isn't entirely nescessary unless you need it to get the filter to fit on the turbo. You might notice a little bit faster spool up or louder spool up if you just put the filter directly on the turbo.

Re: Better setup, HMT style
here is the shield i fabbed up, works great the filter is barly even warm after running the car for a while, and my old motorcycle filter that was right off the turbo, had actually burned my knuckle before.
