Northern Banana Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 My cars a 98 SLR with a bonnet cut out for the ITG air filter. The filter sits quite a way back into the recess, and I was wondering what was required to actually get the filter protruding out of the bonnet cutout. Is it a case of a different filter or an extension to the throttle bodies? Main reason for the change is that most of the cold air flies past the filter carrying rain and flies (on their way to certain death) and deposits them on the pedal box cover. It was a Superlight before I got in! Car Pics Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Banana Posted June 12, 2003 Author Share Posted June 12, 2003 Ok was this a stupid question or does really no one know? It's OK to be rude if the question was daft, we are quite thick skinned up here in sheep shearing land! It was a Superlight before I got in!

John Howe Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I am assuming you have an oval ITG and are trying to bring the filter further out from the engine, simply to fill in the gap between the filter and the bonnent? If that is the case, pack out the filter from its back plate, using something like cardboard, until you have established how much spacing is required for your prefered position. Take the back plate to a welding shop and get them to cut an oval line say 40mm (all the way around) from the edge of the back plate, introduce a gusset to the thickness of your required extension and weld the three components together.

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 You could buy a deeper filter from ITG.

Chelspeed Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Put a scoop at the back of the cutout to turn and direct more air into the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Change the ram pipes to longer versions. Then add sock filters. JLZ7447 1.6K this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
