ITG Megaflow JC40 element only wanted - new or used (but in good order), for a friend's throttle body - as his filter is showing signs of breaking down. with or without backplate (as he can use his existing)

OK, I need a JC 40 filter (not a 50) 142 x 379 x 100 size wise!

Dont you need to specify the depth - I think JC50 is the backplate size?

I will check with Chris, thanks Matthew

I mentioned it because I have a used ITG filter for my 90mm rampipes (JC50)

Thanks Mr Aves - appreciate the feedback, Chris is going to measure-up today and let me know.

 

Anyone know any good value suppliers mail order of these filters?

I can give you a contact at ITG for one to be made to order if that would help. I had a new one made over winter for my old SLR/KV6 TB for which the air filter is no longer available.

[SUPERLIGHT91]

That would be handy too Tom thanks

 

Chris might be wise to consider an air box for it, and integrate a filter to that.

 

picture of the install is herehere and you can see where the foam is breaking down a bit.

... that way, if he goes air box fresh air could be ducted from the nose, as I don't think there is a cut out for the air filter in the bonnet and it might benefit form a it of a mod on this if you can't get the filters any more anyway. - we'll see how much ITG charge for a custom filter element first, before changing it all for something else. Thanks

Please double-check, but I think ITG's JC50 and Pipercross' PX600 share the same backplate. In that case, you can use a Pipercross box filter if it turns out cheaper than ITG. Here's one such source of PX600 filters:

Excellent thanks I will get Chris to investigate.

 

I am currently looking into whether they made a ducted air box for the Jenvy throttle bodies (I'm sure they did for the Elise).

As in the Bernard Scouse/Auto-Teknix box?

Thanks that airbox is probably the way forward long-term and comes in red :) a bit more than just replacing the ITG filter element - but as that is £100+ these days, it could be an investment as replacement elements are only £35 or you can stick a cleanable cone filter on the end - neat. thanks Mankee - ideally need to find someone with a used one up for grabs :)
