Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I looked at these cylindrical filters and nearly bought one when I got my K&N, as I thought they would flow more air due to greater surface area, but ended up going for a cone after a bit of reading and realising the restrictions there would be on space regarding a 6" filter lol. This extract explains best what I came to understand about filter shape if it helps anyone...... "Assuming both filters have the same surface area and same filter media, the cone will outflow the cylinder. The reason for this is because the air coming through the cone flows through straighter wheras the air coming into the cylinder shaped filter has to make a sharp 90 degree bend. This causes several problems. First, most of the air tends to come in the closest to where the air intake tube is clamped to the filter. Little or no air comes in at the opposite end. This effectively reduces the usable surface area of the cylinder filter (hence: why the more expensive filters are cone shaped). Second, the 90 degree bend the incoming air has to make after passing through the filter media of the cylinder causes the air to hug tight to the intake tube wall. This creates uneven air flow/turbulance. This also increases friction which reduces air flow. The slower air in the middle of the intake tube and the faster air closer to the wall of the tube induce turbulence which further reduces air flow. The cone filter all but eliminates the sharp transition the air has to make after passing through the filter media. This allows for near 100% air volume through the air intake tube with little or no turbulance. All of the cone filter has equal air velocity/volume passing through it from end to end due to the tapered shape. In other words, a cone filter with 90 square inches of filter surface will outflow a cylinder filter with 110 square inches of filter media. These surface area numbers are from a 6"diameter by 6" long cylinder (110 square inches) and a 6"lg by 6" base diamer cone (90 square inches)."

Kaan W Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Interesting, I can understand though regarding the air has to make sharper turns but once it goes through the turbo I can't see it making a difference. It would certainly be interesting to dyno a car with both cone and straight filters of the same surface area and see what kind of difference it makes. I've never really thought about it to be honest but it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Just what I read when I researched it mate. I think the theories on air flow are correct, but I think power differences between the two would be very small, if any, and would probably not be noticeable on a dyno.

Kaan W Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Alot of unwanted wire stripped from the engine loom, Lee has tidied it up a bit and also some new connectors have been ordered from Toyota as a few were in a bad way. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=192065&d=1412235460 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=192066&d=1412235478 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) First picture of the finished billet timing belt covers, they should be with me pretty soon then I'll give them a good polish up I don't know about you guys but I think they look pretty cool. They will be making more of these if anyone is interested. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=192098&d=1412284125 Edited October 2, 2014 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm starting to fear a little about this car thats its so nice and will not be used because you dont want to get it dirty or some little punk doing something to it , from what i know of you it doesnt seem like you would not use it but as said i'm starting to worry a little , as all the others have said i cant wait to see this car its amazing how you have turnt it around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't by my gopro for the fun of it Awesome Kaan. I'm in for one. How fast can you get these made? Cheers Luc, now the first one is made the rest can be machined within a few hours I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 A picture of them fitted, these are available in a anodized finish too. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=192112&d=1412321442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Cheers Luc, now the first one is made the rest can be machined within a few hours I would have thought. Once you've done the prototype it doesn't really get any easier, they look nicely done but that's pretty much down to the machine, can you get any photos of the back side, i'd like to see that more than the outer face Edited October 3, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Are these the OCD works billet covers ? They look very nicely made. Just out of interest how much power do these add ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
