hi im wondering what sort of size cone filters are necessary for a car running 350-400bhp its for a mk2 escort im building with a cosworth engine, im making an airbox to house a cone filter under the inner wing so space may be limited, im looking for minimum and optimal sizings so i have an idea of what i can get to fit my needs
thanks in advance

 

bttt....

 

I use a small ITG cone filter on my cortina t34 390bhp, i sometimes run with out the filter and can not feel or see any diffrence if its on or off so from that i assume its big enugh.

 

thanks mate, do you have any pictures or a link for one for sale?
cheers

 

Ive got one of the group a K&N filters on mine.

 

 

nice looking engine bay there glenn, those k&n's look a fair size i may struggle with one of those you wouldn't know how long it is and how wide at its widest point would you glenn?

 

Thanks matey. Its about 8 cm.s wide and about 12 cm long. Thats from the start of the filter to the end of the trumpet in the boost pipe.

I had to cut the boost pipe down for the fiter to fit.

 

This is a pic from when i used to have the pipercross fitted.

 

cheers glenn i may well have enough room for the k&n after all thanks for your help mate

 

I used the conical option I attached mine to the turbo with a short straight silicon connector it doesn't stick out any further forward than the cam pulleys, I will take a picture for you tomorrow.
