Where can ITB airfilters be purchased?

[NIZLAH]

Hey I'm looking for alternatives to running velocity stacks/trumpets with uni filters over them...

I would like to run something similar to these ------>
1409

Although these look more as if they are normal style filters attached to a piece of pipe (or similar) which has been attached to the throttle bodies.
I'm specifically after (if they can be had somewhere) a filter with a bell mouth on the inside that has a flange that bolts straight up to the silver-top ITB's.
I remember seeing something similar quite a few years ago in a hot4s mag that featured a Toyota echo with quads....

I know there are some on eBay US, but the price is BS for what they are IMO....

I also came across these which look interesting but unfortunately they are not in production yet I believe... http://www.destructionwarehouse.com/airfilters.html

I have looked through K&N's online catalog and couldn't really find what I was after... Was maybe thinking of going to a motorcycle shop and seeing what they have in the way of filters?

You can get the uni filter ones from Kaizen most of the time. Ebay has them too. I got no idea about the others. Just try repco and look through all the books from speco thomas etc and you might get lucky. I guess you could try a carb tuning place if theres anywhere still around. Theyd know for sure. You see most carbs with filters like those. I dunno about those invisible ones, they may give a better airflow down the stack, but the filter area is greatly reduced over a normal uni filter. Theyd need more frequent cleaning and would need to be pretty free breathing to work effectively. Cheers Niz.

I was about to mention Uni Filters, I got mine at Auto barn.

But you don't want 'em. So I can't help you..

How much money you willing to spend? Jubride do these

which I think are porn, but insanely exxy at around 450au, not including shipping and what not :S
Certainly an option though if your budget allows.

[NIZLAH]

I already have trumpets and uni filters, but don't want to run them.....

The Kid ---> they are the ones I mentioned that were on eBay US... way too much coin for what it is IMO

Matt ---> yeah those destruction tuning ones look like a cool concept, and I'm surprised I haven't seen similar before, but as you said they don't have much in the way of filtration material and would no doubt need constant cleaning.. I do like the idea though...

[Rian]

the ones on destruction warehouse look like flyscreen.

You interested in selling your current turmpets and socks?

Yeah quite possibly... just have to find the right alternative first before I make up my mind....

Have a look at them, I think thats what you're after.
They have rubber bellmouths inside them and you just put them onto a straight piece of pipe.
I imagine you can get them anywhere that sells K&N stuff, be a special order though

[sonsta]

they have plenty of different stuff

[DRFTR86]

[sonsta]

[NIZLAH]

lmao... sonsta, you said it for me.. but yeh, I dont got the stacks or filters anymore, julzy snapped them up already....

[ae71neo]

There an american company that has a kit. I lost all my bookmarks so i cant remember the site. I believe they might be on club4ag.com. Called pacific something or other. They have the stack k&n style filter arrangement. Really cant think of the name though...

[Ksevn-T]

I was going to suggest motorbike supplies...try a wrecker first for the various styles....Fil

[NIZLAH]

FFS I don't want socks.... did I not make that clear enough?....... anyway I know what Im going to use now, I just have to work out which size to go with as no doubt they will have to be ordered in from where ever I get them from.. I'm going to have to get some flanges with about 30mm of pipe or so made up also to suit the silver-top quads...

Anyone have anything like that lying about? been pretty wishful now.. lol

yeah been looking at them also.. I really like the look of the 4 individual K&N filters though... looks really clean, and different than most set ups - and they have the bell mouths...
I found a uni filter that has bell mouths also but not sure if it can be had in Oz as it wasn't on there Australian website, only the U.s one.

[NIZLAH]

slight update on this....

Through supercheap the K&N bellmouth filters (3.5" round by 4" high/long) are $74 each -- WTF, it gets better though.
Through Repco they are $138 each, WTF WTF WTF.
Dont even want to know what autobarn wants for them...............

No fucking way I'm prepared to pay so much for some tiny ass air filter.

I found some filters the same style as the K&N's (minus the bellmouth inside) on ebay for like $15 each..... surely there is some more alternatives out there besides what has been mentioned already....

More surface area = win.

[NIZLAH]

yeah, although how do these attach to the 4 ITB's ? is there any way of using a bell mouth stack or what not...
It looks as if it would easily hit the brake booster and another thing is I wouldn't be able to run the heat shielding that I have planned...

to add though, I was looking at a similar set-up with a K&N set-up, the top of the filter comes off so you can run trumpets inside through a base plate.. I don't really like the look of it though, its like V8 style.

i fitted the T3 velocity stacks inside the ITG filter. the filter is not in contact with the velocity stack bellmouth inlet at all.

here is my write up on this setup: http://www.dorikaze.net/showthread.php?t=21271

[NIZLAH]

cool so they work the same as the alternative K&N set up I referred to...
In an ADM car though the booster is going to defiantly be in the way with that set-up

[NIZLAH]

update - I found an alternative place that can get the K&N's for $59 (much more reasonable and I'm prepared to pay that much (just)) so I have them on order...
Awesome............

[pkjai]

Revolution Racegear...

[blair]
