Unconventional IS200 intake
Unconventional IS200 intake
This is my first post but I have been lurking and searching for a couple of weeks, before signing up (after a nice PM from a member on here through LOC).
Anyway, I WILL make a mod / maintenance thread for my car but for now I have a question.
I have searched high and low and there is no great detail to fitting a home made cone filter with silicone 90 degree bend and stainless pipe, BUT on the passenger side of the engine. I think I have only seen one pic but I am wondering what to do as the ECU housing seems to be in the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Here's the pic's of the induction kits that i did
There's a couple of options that don't go over the manifold! and both gave about the same intake temps :thumbup1:
long intake kit..

You can use any filter you want on these, as long as it fits on the end of the pipework,(60-65mm) the longer kit is probably better if you go for a bigger style filter, as the short one needs a narrow one to go above the alternator, but should still cost about the same as all you'll do is cut the stainless tube at longer lengths
Another thing i cant do is see how to fasten it to the car so the long one doesn't move! (due to not having a car to try it on) but i'm sure when its fitted you'll be able to see what you can do with it :thumbup:
The stainless tube i used came from B&Q, they do 60mm stainless steel table legs at a metre long, for around £10, just need to cut it to the length you need
This is an old post of mine mate but gives you some ideas :thumbup1:

I always prefer a short ram over a longer intake....especially with 63mm diameter...HOWEVER thanks for confirming that intake temps are pretty much the same.
Mind if I ask how long your stainless pipe was for the short kit, just so I can have it cut at the workshop (i don't have a cutter at home).
I have got my eye on an A'PEXi air filter but will see what I get.
Cheers.
Will do a 'Jay's car' thread just so I don't have loads of threads cluttered everywhere.
Thanks.

Edit, if you click on the pics mate you can enlarge them and most of the measurements are there :thumbup1:

Think its about 280mm long mate for the short kit? :thumbup1:

I see you are in Dartford. I live next to Lakeside.

16-03-2018, 01:46 PM #7oh what a joy. MAF sensors are great, but irritating when it comes to mapping with bolt on forced induction (I have turbo'd a few cars).

It's the IS300 which have MAP

16-03-2018, 01:48 PM #8Yes mate, in Dartford, and we have a couple of people who live locally, like Essex etc
