Re: Air filter
Factory Toyota air filter in the factory cold air airbox setup.
Cannot remember when exactly but about 10 years ago the factory filter changed from paper to the current material. Airflow is significantly better than it was.

Re: Air filter
I was lucky in that I bought mine 20 years ago before it got molested by a 12 year old.

Re: Air filter
Blitz SUS on mine.
Stock setup on a Turbo is restrictive, decent aftermarket is dyno proven to make a bit more power.

Re: Air filter
I'll look into it after I've sorted my sills out till then I'm screwed. Had skirts off enough to see that it's pretty bad.

Re: Air filter
Stock with a standard paper element will be fine if you have more pressing things to sort.

Re: Air filter
I made my own, it was based around sealing the bottom of a woodsport snorkel and having all the air pulled through that.

Re: Air filter
Nice to see someone doing it properly, too often those snorkels are just for show and ruin engine bay airflow!chaos19810 wrote: ↑26/10/18 19:34 I made my own, it was based around sealing the bottom of a woodsport snorkel and having all the air pulled through that.

Re: Air filter
The original Toms snorkel was actually NOT connected directly to the air filter, although it was positioned directly underneath it to receive all the cold air.Kyyanno wrote: ↑01/11/18 13:18Nice to see someone doing it properly, too often those snorkels are just for show and ruin engine bay airflow!chaos19810 wrote: ↑26/10/18 19:34 I made my own, it was based around sealing the bottom of a woodsport snorkel and having all the air pulled through that.
