Phil Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Whats yours solutions folks? i seen a neat rubber band with mesh on ebay before.... but they are about any more. Anyone know of anything suitable? My topmounted turbo basically heads straight for the psteering pump/ and i want my PAS to stay, and ive no desire to start into sorting a Electronic PAS setup. Phil
glanzadude Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Just do what I did mesh up the turbo easy job and sounds super cool lol Just do what I did mesh up the turbo easy job and sounds super cool lol

Phil Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Are you a man or mouse? Fuck the pas off Haha, im a man who has spoke to enough folk without PAS in starlets that i have decided its necessary to continue enjoying driving my starlet for fun. its not a track/sprint car only, and i cant be dealing with no PAS (at least not without a non PAS rack) which would have even longer travel lock to lock. a good mesh solution is what im after. and i may go sausage splasher again, but if anyone knows or supplies a good solution id love to hear of it. i know that solutions were sold on ebay inside the last 6months. Phil
weeman Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I did this to mine Phil going to finish it off with a cool box around the filter
_shaun_ Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 yea to be honest i forgot to reconnect my electric pas pump after i rewired my fuse box and it was a cunt to drive around in. its back on now and makes the car so much more enjoyable. i seen the things your talking about i was looking for one for mine before i ditched the pas but they didnt do one big enough for my turbo. from memory they where only state side. id your adamant on keeping the mechanical pas id say just grab a seive and go for that.
Phil Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Neat lads, but I'm a lot tighter than that to the PAS Hopefully those little mesh rings appear back on eBayPhil
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 heres mine, similar to weeman'sThats beautiful fella
Phil Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) this is my issue. now clearly i didnt take this pic to show the problem, so not a great angle, but its close, real close. I may have to go down the electronic PAS route as per shauns suggestion... http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/89820-swapping-out-the-stock-pas-pump-for-something-neater/ Phil Edited April 16, 2015 by Phil
Phil Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Maybe i could do this >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTAqVXgkLso (use an KN/GREEN/whatever air filter element and wrap it round a trumpet? Phil
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 That could work but it would be quite restrictive as you only have a tiny surface area compaired to the actual filter, it would sure filter better than mesh tho!
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 have you got any better picks of the room you have to offer? I may have a suggestion!

ROTABOOST Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I have the same issue Phil, just rebuilt mine and done the turbo etc at the same time, although I think mine may be even tighter . I've run a gauze before over a td04 and I can't say I was happy when I pulled my intercooler cold side off and it was gritty in the pipe! Fine for keeping out leaves etc but dust is just a free for all. Like you I want the keep my power steering too. Only thought I had is building a mount for the pas pump to bolt where the AC compressor originally lived but not had a chance to get it on the ramp for a look yet.

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Well it's nearly 12 so thats only 6h late lol
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Have you got room for a filter to go in the front behined the bumper?
