Snorkle Mounted Air Filters.

[jaztaz]

Looking to free up some room in the engine bay & wanted to mount a filter to the top of my 4" stainless snorkle. It's on a comp truck so will need to be of a good quality. Any pics or part nos, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jaz.

Start by going to the Unifilter website and downloading a PDF on their pod filters.

Found this fella. Reckon it would be suitable?

I will make a shield for it to keep the rain/weather off.

Still open to other ideas though....

Pod's aren't great, I'd look at mounting a filter box on the roof or behind the cab - donaldson make a whole range so you might find something suitably compact. I reckon the powercore units look the goods - though they do get pretty big with higher flow rates, i suppose you'll just have to decide what an acceptable amount of pressure drop is!

Street or track application?

I ran a k&n on top of my 4" snorkel. It was tapered, I can find the part no if you want

It will be both as it gets driven around regularly.

I found a K&N RD1460 that looks like it will do the job, just worried about the filtration qualities it has.

K&N's will stop large rocks from getting into your motor. Don't expect much more and you won't be dissapointed.

Ive had a K&N in my wagon for 5 years, had one on top of the snorkel in the race car for 2-3 years and i never had to pull an engine down cause it had dirt in it. There are plenty of people who run them. I think its all in the maintenance of them, I used to clean the race car one every night (i had two so one was drying all day then swap at night) and the one in the wagon gets cleaned when i get to it (probably need to do it more often).

I'm hoping to keep the airbox I have but once I get the intercooler in there I may need to run the snorkle mounted type.

I want to run either a 450/500/600 x 300 x 76 top mounted & when I turn the compressor housing I reckon I will be running short of room.
