Open cone

[ibiza20vt]

CoulD anyone link me to an open cone air filter they use on there fr or cupra 20vt ?
I'm aware the maf diameter is 70mm but I've been on the JR website and it's unclear which is best/correct. And also will the recirc valve be audible with this kind of filter .
Cheers

I have this - http://www.performance-filters.co.u...iza-iv-18-150-ps-20032008-570569_p1528612.htm

Pics of it on the car can be seen in readers ride thread. Cant tell you if it changed throttle reponse or anything cos I had the car remapped at the same time. Love the sound though!!

Don't mean to bump up an old(ish) thread but am looking into getting a open filter for mine and am confused as to what size to get!! Bill @ Badger5 has said a 70mm tip will be fine but have just read the above quoted comment and has thrown me off slightly! What would be the right size or does it not make a difference?!

Also, have read that some people have fitted a small filter over the SAI as well, is this recommended?

Thanks

I've bought an 80mm jetex and a reducer . Also looking to source a small filter for the sai

 

[ibiza20vt]

But the size is 70mm sorry

 

[Cupra_Jay]

So the size of the cone that goes over the MAF sensor is 70mm but your filter itself is 80mm? Is that right?

I'm after a BMC twin cone filter. Guessing this makes no difference what so ever?!

Basically the internal diameter of filter for a straight fit is 70mm however when I bought mine the 70mm was out of stock so I chose the 80mm and a reducer . Aslong as you buy a filter that's internal diameter is 70mm it will be a straight fit on the ko3/s cars its the ko4 vehicles with the 80mm maf

thanks very much mate!! cleared that right up for me!! ive got a green panel filter at present, would you recommend a open cone? i no i wont see power gains, just after a bit more noise and a ppffttsssh!

I found my drilled Airbox gave a better grunt compared to my open cone lol. But now I have a cold air induction with the filter I'n the wing getting direct air through the foglight. It's even less grunt but when it does drive bys it sounds pretty nuts. Now I have a Decat exhaust with non res I don't think I'd notice any grunt from the engine lol

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Yep, go for an open cone, you won't be disappointed!

 

[Cupra_Jay]

Yep, go for an open cone, you won't be disappointed!

Hopefully!!

Has anyone bought a open filter from eBay before?? Is there any difference to one of these compared to getting a BMC or Jetex filter??

 

[ibiza20vt]

I did wonder that but decided against it , first time you find out its **** you might have destroyed your engine . Better off paying 40-50 for a tried and tested one I'd say .

 

[Cupra_Jay]

Why would it damage the engine?? Presumably the filter isn't as good so lets more crap in!?

 

[ibiza20vt]

Well that would be my worry. Probably pretty unlikely but for the extra I'd rather have piece of mind .
