Sausage Air Filters On Jenveys

[pee vee 1]

Hi all,.

been looking about and i need to know

 

Has anyone had any trouble using one of these style air filters, on a 205 MI16.

im using Jenveys with 90mm trumpets, so the filter will have to be 110mm internal height at least

 

 

 

 

Can you still shut the bonnet ok?? LOL

 

i need to know before i go and spend loads of money on one.

 

Anything special i need to do to fit it??

 

thanks!

Bit of a tight squeeze but doable. I had to remove the slam panel at the front and use bonnet pins but its on a rally car so not the end of the world. I think the curved filters rather than teh square edged one in the pic probably fit slightly better

Why not mount a motorbike filter on the end of the trumpets? Much better for space and even looks better. PX500 from memory (it's been a while). I ran one on my old (Pre SF) TH bodies. That was tight for space!

how did you get the backing plate to stick to the trumpets all the way up there!? lol

that will be a bit dodge when the inside of the filter is too close to the trumpet lip, the foam will easily be torn away by the suction power. I am currently running socks but the clearance between trumpet lip and back of sock is only about 20mm, if i drive it to work daily the socks can only last for 1.5 - 2 years. I had the front bit of the sock (the circle part) torn and stuck inside the throttle body obstructing the butterfly once.

Not sure what you mean by "dodge" - it had 25mm+ clearance from lip to inside of the filter. I used Sikaflex I think to stick the backplate to the trumpets, ideally it'd have been tigged to them.
