1700 Supersprint Airfilter

[Oscar]

Does anyone have a single filter assembly instead of the dual K&N filters on their 1700 Supersprint?

 

I'm looking for a single foam style filter instead of altering my new bonnet to fit the dual K&Ns. Looks like the hole opening is a bit further forward on this bonnet than the last one.

 

I found ITG through google but am wondering if anyone has first hand experience and can make a recommendation.

 

Thanks

I purchased a pipercross foam filter from burton power in the UK to solve an issue with the K&N filters not fitting (~3/8 too far forward) after swaping from a X-flow to a BDA head. The pipercross works fine and arrived in just a few days. Item marker 3 on the following link.

I had a custom size ITG filter made several years ago to accommodate long horns. Although it was made in England, I delt with their importer in CA. Neither the lead time nor the price was excessive. I was happy with the transaction and the filter.

Do they make short horns for the webers? does it have a significant effect on drivability?

 

Here is a zoomed in pic. The rear most horns (not installed in this pic) dont leave a lot of clearance between the horn and bonnet (the car isn't home so I cant snap a quick pic of the clearance).

 

how much clearance do you need between the horn and filter?

 

Thanks

I used ITG on a few cars when in the UK and they were excellent filters. I purchased through Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe circuit and they have a good selection of ITGs to suit various trumpet lengths on their website.

 

To get the best location for the filters you may need to create your own back plate out of ali. or Carbon if you prefer!

I posted a pic of an engine with ITGs on this thread - http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=8783

Actually the easiest 'soft' option would be these - https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/itg-trumpet-sock-large-itg-sox-l

Thanks for the info and links Stig.

 

Hmm trumpet sock? I thought I saw a car on the forum with that. It does look like the easiest solution. I'll check ITG and the sock option. I mean if I have to move the hole on the bonnet so be it, but I'd much rather not if I could get a filter on there and not have it look goofy.

Sorry for the delay in posting the pictures, business travel got in the way.

Attached should be 3 views of the pipercross filter and backplate as attached to 45DCOEs on a BDA head.

Thanks for the pics. I hadn't noticed you posted them. That looks like it would work perfectly. how long are your horns? Do they touch the filter?

 

Thanks again.
