Default Very Small Air Filters for a T34

Got Soy's exhaust manifold and will need a very small air filter like he had. Turbo mounts behind the passenger headlight so not much room.

Looked in his feature and you can't see it and it doesn't tell you what make it is.

Suggestions as to which one to put on and where to get it from please

And HKS mushroom filters are wank, may as well not run a filter.

Aside from it not filtering much less than big rocks, I cant see one of that size being all that unrestrictive either.

You know your Jap stuff. Suggest one please. It has to be small though.

I got a couple of little K&Ns off ebay - designed for a Streetfighter (I think that's a motorbike) but the correct diameter for my XR4x4 air intakes and I'm hoping they will flow enough air.

Have a look on the K&N website for loads of different filter sizes.

I got that filter from HKS (well a HKS dealer in UK) it was the only thing that would fit in the tiny space you are left with.... Its not car specific it was a universal 1.... 150mm external and summit like 60mm turbo diameter...

HKS is the only small one.

But small means poo in general, even the HKS one only flows as much as it does for the size as it dont actually filter fuck all
Idve been interested to put a vac gauge on SOYs inlet, id not be suprised if the filter wasnt ideal, but best that'l fit there...

Dave, why not get a nice alloy pipe cut and welded so it comes out of the turbo and bends back downwards allowing a decent filter to be used ( that is if there is enough room to get a nice diameter bend?? When i had soys car, it had only the engine and box in with the manifold in the boot so i couldn't see the space
