Rhyscar Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 Been getting into modelling the airbox. Isn't as large as I initially thought so not too worried about 3D printing it now - its also got a good selection of curves and shapes to keep it strong. I've decided to add a sheetmetal alloy frame to the outside to provide a little extra support, but otherwise I'm confident in the strength it'll have. Next step is to slice off the first 2 trumpets and do a test-print to check for clearances The trumpets turned out pretty well. They aren't 100% perpendicular to ITB face, but pretty damn close. Making them perfect was an exponential amount more modelling work, so this will do. Trumpet approx 120-125mm long and goes from 49mm at base out to 63mm before the bellmouth. I'm going to be honest, it was pretty difficult to model a digressing profile swept through an arch... Bellmouth has 20-25mm clearance in the tightest spots to the outer airbox walls. A little more would be nice, but struggling for physical space. I put some bulges in the base to help give a little extra clearance - hopefully while avoiding the alternator post & throttle cable which is pretty closeby. Perhaps I should reduce the taper on the trumpet and bellmouth size to create a bit more clearance? Airbox capacity just over 13L, so not as big as I'd like, but ramming air into it through the grill should make up for it. After a bit more deep diving I'm little worried about the 1.6L Peugeot 206 filter size - it's slightly smaller than a standard 2zz filter. K&N should be less pressure drop than factory, however, I'm also wanting as many doorts as possible. Unfortunately, I can't find anything off-the-shelf in a similar profile (95mm) but longer (>450mm). Another option is making my own filter from uni filter foam - would catch the bugs at least! Anyway off to the shed to solve the irritatingly-difficult-to-solve unlock reverse in my 6 speed gearbox. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 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. https://www.repco.co.nz/parts-service/filtration/air-filters/k-n-performance-air-filter-33-2193/p/A1269832?rgfeed=true&cid=google-shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsc24BhDPARIsAFXqAB1pM7TxCwegKJMgkEs4hOjCtq_VJ0QGd-1Uymoj8q0MXa8xR7-WTRMaAiFIEALw_wcB 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 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 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Can you make two of these work? https://nzairfilter.co.nz/panel-filter/33-2931.html Maybe one of these? https://www.repco.co.nz/parts-service/filtration/air-filters/k-n-performance-air-filter-33-2193/p/A1269832 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
