Small Air Filters
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi lads,
I am looking for a small filter like the one in the link. I have the k&n filter but its a bit big for what i have in my head.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Is it a panel filter your after then? I was going say I used to have a small green air filter on my old 106 that mite be ok.

There wont be a proper seal on the air filter, just wondering why a pannel filter not a cone style filter?? You can always inclose the cone like bmc, pipercross venom ect would be smaller and easyer to hide and prob higher rated for hp

Two words, "filtration" and "area".

This is what i am not sure on Tom, i was hoping someone could shed some light on it for me.

To get an idea look in some catalogues for K&N or ITG and see their filter sizes for various HP.

But a 500cc bike is making less than 100bhp (?), not the 200bhp odd of a decent spec TM.

As i am thinking of forcing the air through the filter will it make any difference.

No none at all, forget any kind of ram air effect, as soon as you reach any kind of revs and boost a small filter will become a bigger and bigger restriction.
If you need a custom panel made then ITG in Coventry will make one to your drawing, they should also be able to advise on how much air it will flow.

Thanks tom i will have to give them a call and see whats what.

Have you had any made there?

Yes, it is for my trackday Peugeot, measures approx 18" x 12"

Was it big money?

I can't remember now, but I don't think so.

Thanks for your help Tom.

I have an ITG filter for my S.C. injection setup. With S.C.s markup it was £58 so not the end of the world.
