air filter help

[SevyjackSR]

So I've got N/A fitting a glanza inlet manifold and maybe throttle body or keep the existing one I need to know what size hose/tube I need/will be best and what size diameter air filter I can put on thinking about getting a mushroom one and removing panel filter and airbox, any recommendations on the make of filter and anyother tips

Thanks

If you install a air filter straight off the throttle body and locate it near the passenger topmount, your car won't have as much torque as a standard intake setup.

A few on here have tested it and got better results with a stock intake system (I think one also changed the intake pipe to a paseo one?)

iirc the throttlebody is a 50mm one on a n/a? I'm sure someone will be able to verify what size though.

you can get a k+n panel filter drops into standard airbox I have one in mine less restrictive

I dont recommend removing standard airboxes. They are designed properly and flowed before manufacture. Only time i would change it if it was coming out the bumper to ram cold air in. Panel filter is good

Ah right sounds good so I won't remove it just get a Penel filter can you recommend the best make? And what's this about relocating to bumper to get colder intake what's the easiest way to do that ?

Thanks for help

You could get a panel filter this would be ideal. Having cone filters do look better imo, however are surrounded by the heat of the engine. Which is a little restrictive due to you wanting cold air. I have a Apexi cone on my red n/a and have the part of thr air box which leads from the bumper to the filter to, bring in cold air( check my red build thread). This works really well and has the air sensor connected still

As for locating the cone filter, the reason is, the cold air enters at the front of the vehicle, the closer it is to the front the more cold air, as said with it by the bulkhead it has the warmth of the engine. The easiest way to relocate it is to get a elbow and a long bit of pipe, which will direct it to the front bumper and help for air flow.

Hope that helps buddy!

Ive never done a relocation onto my bumper on a n/a starlet. But ill soon be doing it on my glanza. Im going to remove one of the fogs and have it in there. Just waiting for the winter to go by
