Suprash Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I need to make an air filter, due to my NA-T setup, I cant fit a cone filter on a section of pipe as my dizzy is right in the way about an inch in front of the turbo. So I was thinking about making a filter up myself. Something like a sheet of filter paper sandwich'd between two pieces of mesh and placing that straight over the turbo inlet. Thing is, I cant find filter paper anywhere ? Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get hold of such a thing or does anyone else have any other idea's ?

Guest dannyboy107 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Would a 4 runner dizzy not give you enough space to run a normal cone filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reid Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I think ITG should be able to sell you the filter material on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 ITG won't supply the materials, they could make me a filter but can't supply. Should I be worried about surface area of the filter, which will only be as big as the turbo opening ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 4 runner distributor is the way around that, hows the build going then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dannyboy107 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 4runner dizzy cap (cap for the toyota 4runner) is abit shorter than the supra only thing to watch out for it making sure you plug the right leads to the rights places, not too hard thou and can save alot of hassle.

Suprash Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Well I found this pic on google images whilst searching 4runner, so I guess this will be the shorter 4runner dizzy, which it looks like I could then get a bit 45 degree pipe coming off the turbo for the filter then....
