Can you use a cone filter on a 16V
« on: June 24, 2006, 06:30:44 PM »
I had a couple of diff air intake set-ups on my 8v kick. but my 16V has two sensors a mass airflow and air temp will the cone filter mess  with anything or should I just get a K&N put it in the box and forget about it. If any one has pics of 16V with cone filter send them my way..

There are a couple shots in the archive of people using a cone filter with the 16V, I can't find them at the moment though.

I ended up just going with a standard K&N to avoid water splash damage to the engine.  :)

Do a search for cone filter and my name.  It was discussed less than a month ago and I did my setup about 3 months ago.  I can also think of three of us with similar setups off of the top of my head.

One more thing is there to much HOT air getting sucked into the cone since it is the engine compartment and not sucking fresh air from out side

Some will tell you it's too much hot air but honestly I don't think so.  I left the ducting that runs up on the fender well in place so it's shooting cold air at the filter and meanwhile the filter is sucking in LOTS more air than the stock setup does.  Yes, it's hot/warm air but it's a much larger quantity of air.

The best all around setup for this (as to avoid water from rain or heavy off-roading to damage engine, as well as a great location for the filter to suck in cooler air.)
Buy the K&N drop in filter.
take out the bottom bucket from the air box.
take a hole saw and cut into any side of the bottom bucket.
then take a jigsaw and cut out the whole side, then do the same on the next side....continue doing this till all 4 walls of the bucket are cut out and all that is left are tha 4 corners (for support)
bolt the bottom bucket back into it's position on the fender.
drop in the K&N
close the top part of the air box back up
.....and ta-da, intake.
no monkeying around with the MAF or 02 sensors or anything....it's all stock.

I guess I'm missing something...how would that stop water from getting to the filter?  Sounds like you just completely opened up the bottom of the box. ???
