KCEP82 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi guysI've got a ep82 starlet gt and I'm having problems fitting an air filter/induction, the car has had air con removed and apparently a bigger turbo when I brought the car it had no air filter so I brought a universal kit and silicon pipe to fit on turbo but there is no room for the pipe to fit in there? Help and ideas please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cushion Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah its pretty tight as the oil filter gets in the way. I let the oil filter push the silicone hose in a bit but wasn't sure if it was safe so I've meshed the turbo instead, sounds much better when spooling/boosting. Plus, I'm running a TD04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Mesh is far from ideal mate.only takes a small bit of crap to go in ure Intake and ure screwed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cushion Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 What would you recommend i do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Re-fit a filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yea I thought mesh but again dust can't get in, a engine performance builders has ordered a kit for it and they are putting a small aux belt on it and moving alternator up and pas pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Silicone 90 deg bend reducer, alloy 90deg bed, and then filter in front of rad? Not sure if Monster Motorsport are still going but they used to do a relocation kit compromising of the above. Edited June 29, 2014 by Bluebear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's the one. Been using it for 2 years now and no issues. The silicone bend is still up against the filter but not wedged in there like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh ok they've ordered a air filter kit from demon tweets not sure what though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You need to measure the size of the inlet on your turbo before ordering anything. No good ordering one for a Starlet, if your car is fitted with a larger turbo. The kit will be for a CT9, not what you have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yea they realised that when the first kit arrived they ordered another one, the inlet on my turbo is 54mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tanveer21 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Monster Motorsport have loads of stock of the relocation kits, popped down to pick up a gauge the other week and saw relocation kits piled up 6 foot high Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Mine is 54mm as well, I ended up just making my own with some bits of silicon, a joiner and a ITG air filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devs313 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Mine is 54mm as well, I ended up just making my own with some bits of silicon, a joiner and a ITG air filter. Need something like this for my TD04. Where did you get the silicon and joiner from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thats perfect timd.i like that. Further out front the better obviously. Nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You should be able to get everything from ebay.. I wanted it all in black and I couldn't find a straight joiner for cheap anywhere. I had to have something on for mapping so I stumped up the cash money for delivery from SFS which was more than the hose! Here's what I bought 54mm 90 degree bend 54mm SFS joiner 55 to 60mm silicon joiner ITG Filter It's tight, and I have a remote oil filter setup as well! You will have to cut the hose yourself, there are plenty of tutorials out there for that, I just used a jubilee clip as a guide. It wasn't perfect, but more than good enough.

KCEP82 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 They used a samco hose for the inlet on the turbo and a piper cross filter on the end and the put on a longer aux belt and moved the power steering pump up it brilliant but the chatter is quieter now when I let off boost What turbo have you got TimD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It's a Tongs Hybrid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 That's what a engine builder told me I've got a hybrid turbo are they anything special Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 If it's a Tongs then they're pretty sort after. It's just a hybrid turbo to me though, so not sacred, I'll be changing mine for something slightly bigger at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
