Filter size

[fq-craigus]

I am just wondering if anyone knows the diameter of the air intake needed for the 8 fq. I have 2 maf adaptors (dnt no what size) and last night I impulse bought (eBay too addictive) a hks reloaded mushroom with 85mm inlet pipe just under 3.5 inch is this the right size to feed the car air to be fair I managed to nab it last seconds for 13 quid so no love lost if its wrong I'll flog it for more but it's 200mm outside size

They need to fit your adapters so only you can tell us that

 

[fq-craigus]

Well the adaptor is irrelevant as I have found already I put a filter on and it just couldnt feed the car enough air, I wanted to know if the filter I have got is the right size. It's ok if you don't know lee someone else might

Just measure ur turbo air inlet side it's prob about 2 inch ish

 

[fq-craigus]

So a bigger filter would be ok yh? Nt want the same prob as before after all our work Steve lol

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

Lol come on craig that was a cheap arse filter that was prob made of sponge and didn't let any air through it

 

[fq-craigus]

That was a quality pipercross filter haha

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

Lol it said pipper crose think it's a copy?

I'm got a pipercross filter filter on my 8... 4inch outlet to fit the hks mag adapter..

 

[fq-craigus]

Yh the one I put on just wasn't up to the job think the outlet was 3'' but like said the filtering matirial just wasn't adequate

 

[JTandAT]

Thought mounting flanges of most maf adapters for the evo were 102mm/ 4 inch not 85mm?

 

[fq-craigus]

Pass, I have looked on the net but can't find the info, I just cant be bothered to pull the car apart and measure it so I'll just try and fit it when it arrives and go from there. Cheers mate

You could run no filter and have the same effect as the hks

Was it an old pipercross filter? No better than the hks then lol..got one of the new ones and it seems good..thicker sponge than the hks so it actually stops dirt getting though..

Yh it's an older pipercross.

The hks one is the mushroom one, reloaded, same as a few people on here have you had a bad time with em mate?

 

[Dirtmatt]

Haha that don't sound much good

The reloaded is said to be better and my evo came with the hks on it. They let a lot of air in but also dirt, can see it in the intake pipe.. Not really ideal and the cold air feed didn't help lol.

Did you buy it new??

 

[B6lee]

I heard the hks re loaded lets alot of dirt through. Get a good sound from it though

 

[fq-craigus]

Yh I bought it new mate fitted it on the other day, it's quite a thick sponge to have dirt get through it I'm quite surprised. Does sound the business
