When I was looking for a filter idea for echo (and future purposes) 

I did a sort by price on the repco website, and did a click and collect on 1x of everything that cost less than $2 on clearance sale. 

You're welcome to borrow the magic box if it's helpful hahaha

You might be able to fit two of the Mercedes ones on top of each other if you want a long/skinny.

Thanks Dave and that is a brilliant idea for trying to figure out air filter sizes! I hadn’t come across that merc one yet.
 

Ideally I want one 600mm long and just under 100m high. 
 

My current method has been scouring through summit racing using the size filter to narrow my search 😆

Asking for a friend, did you end up getting a C60 for this and if so does it mount using the same brackets and mounts as the c56? I have a C66 and 2zr sitting in the driveway and I'm having silly ideas about putting it in my ae101 wagon

Yeah man, it sure does. I used the brackets from C56 and bolted them to the C60 and it bolts in. Even the drivers side mount is pretty close - just buy the little adapter plate from monkeywrench racing (I presume 2zr and 2zz will be very similar). 

There's also guy I chat with based in pukekohe/auckland? that's doing plug & play looms for 2zz to ae1xx chassis.

 

Headers/exhaust are the hardest part. Factory headers fit but generally suck. Headers made for MRS/MR2 2zz swaps work in the ae1xx chassis.

The airbox saga continues - one step at a time. 

So after printing the test piece, I made a bunch of adjustments to the design to maximise volume to from 13L to 19L, 2x porsche 928 K&N filters which gives it 50% more filter area than factory and generally improved the geometry around the trumpet bellmouth.

This was a big constraint - alternator and charging post. I managed to measure it all up and create clearance.

Increased clearance around trumpet to min of 30mm. Having a cutout for alternator also meant I could drop the base of the airbox by around 40mm.

Completed design

So I finished the design off and was like sweet lets print this bitch! But the size of this final part meant the price jumped from $6-800 up to $2500!! I also did some research/talking to Roman Dave I decided a powder-based material provided better final-part functionality than a filament-based print which probably increased price a bit. 

To an extent, the cost doesn't matter too much at this point as I'm already so deep in this project, but if anything was wrong with the design I'd be up for another $2500 which would hurt. So I decided to split the trumpets from the airbox so I could manufacture using different methods (print trumpets and carbon fibre from airbox due to size). Of course, this is where CAD sucks a bit because I needed to re-draw the whole thing to keep the geometry/features I wanted and not butcher the model too much. So another 10hrs of drawing and I'd split trumpets out, and added an interlocking flange on each trumpet for the airbox to mount to.

Strut brace design complete, just need to double check a few dimensions and then it's off to the printers. Tried to design in a few features that would be impossible to fabricate just because I can... Stoked with how the carbon/alloy combo will look when complete too.
