Hows this spot look for an air filter?

 

looks fine to me.

ever try that pulley?

 

Does it clear the hood or are you going to go with a cowl piece?

 

my 2" cowl hood barely rests on the filter tip. Its cool.

 

My Harwood hood fit great, but it even wears funny at the top of the firewall. Is it a fiber hood or steel?

 

fiberglass.

 

MMMMMMM Shiny.

 

Hood pins or reinforced hood ring with latch? Painted underside?

 

You may also have a bit of a vacume /boost leak there.

 

stock hood latch. not painted anywhere.

huh? boost leak where?

 

cause your blower isnt connected to your carb hat yet.....

 

Oh, I have yet to figure out how to get my surge valve in their yet..

 

I was just playing with ya, can you get exauset tubing u bends and make your own ducting? Or mock it up with abs from home depot, and take it to a exaust shop to fabrocate?

 

I think a peice of 3" pipe at 120degrees or so should do the trick, then i have to cut a hole in it and weld the surge valve in place.

 

What is the difference between a surge valve and a blow off valve (for turbo)?

 

not much.

 

They both are used to vent the excess air out of the discharge tube so you do not get compressor surge.

A surge (bypass) valve recirculates the compressed air back into the intake, a bov releases it into the atmosphere.

I think a bypass is more than a BOV that recirculates though. You can vent a bypass to the atmosphere and that doesn't make it a blowoff valve. It remains open by vacuum. When the vacuum goes away, then the valve closes. That's not exactly how a BOV works, as it's not opened all the time.

HAI setup. Why not make it better?

 

if you have suggestions, I am open.

 

If yur charcoal cannister is gone, run the tubing out there, to pull cooler air in from under there.

Relocate the battery if the other side is easier to get to.

A TPI filter tubing Y-pipe won't work?

 

Ok, let me lay out the scenerio for you, From the back of the procharger, the intake tubing is 4" diameter on this model. A tpi Elbow would be a restriction. I had to relocate my brake lines just to make the 90degree off the 'charger. I cannot wrap 4" pipe back over my charge pipe, hood clearance just wont allow it, and I cannot go around the 'charger on the right either, master cylinder clearly in the way, I tried going under the procharger, but between the framerail and charger is only about 3" if that.

 

Could you go straight back, through the firewall, just to the right of the wiper motor,and fit your filter in the cowl area?

Just trying to think of a way to get cooler air.

 

RA hood style filter, to use the Cowl Induction hood as a true cowl induction?

Across the engine, between the TB & Dizzy, 90 deg turn forward, then to the battery tray?

 

I've looked into the RA filter, but the outlet it still too small. i cant run anything farther back to the firewall, my proportioning valve and linelock, along with brake lines in general are in the way, brake booster too.

 

+1

maybe use their cobra head elbow and a 45* elbow to place the filter behind the hat closer to the cowl opening.

 

When you see my car sunday (maybe) you can take a better look for me.
