Air Filter

[Guest Radical]

We are building a 2b with a 2.0 litre pinto with a standard carb. We haven't got much of a gap between the top of the carb and the bonnet, so not much room for an air filter. Has anyone else had this problem and what sort of filter would you reccomend. Thanks.

Try the search facility - there has been no end of discussion on the subject!

There’s no easy way round this problem as pancake filters are worse than useless as they waste that much power as to be a total waste of time. The only really successful answer is to ditch the manifold and downdraft carb and go for a sidedraft setup that way you can use a filter or filters that wont strangle the engine.

Sorry Chris, but I can't agree with that one. There is plenty of room for a pipercross or similar on top of a 32/36 or similar Weber twin ...

Looks nice too!

[Guest chris brown]

Sorry Richard that is the best I have seen so stand corrected.

 

Can’t get it right all the time but once would be nice. I still think sidedrafts are better

Round at Nightracers (Ron) house tonight with Craig to see how his build is getting on he showed us a new product at Argos which might be of interest to some.

I have the same as enforcer but more domed, it will find it's own level due to it being sponge.

 

Ebay!!!

 

£20 ish with mounting plate.

Bill, are you suggesting Radical gets himself down to Argos so he can have one of those sticking up through his bonnet?

I doubt it but he may be able to fit it on a hose similar to Bill has done, depends if he can find a "solid" 90 degree rubber bend, the turn isn't a problem with the injection.

 

We managed to get a short one of that style under Drew's bonnet though but see the one on mine below, Piper which worked well & fitted with clearance, Demon Thieves do them but cheaper elsewhere...

Depends if you are prepared to pay for a good'un.

 

Rally Design sell RAMAIR filters which work very well...this one is 45mm tall

I've got a RAMAIR filter but it's a too tall, be sure to get a small one

Ther is a link someware but i cant find it. However you can fit an adaptor on the carb with the air intake pointing forwards, add a pipe to the front and put your filter on that. Added benifit of cool air
