Air Intake Upgrade

Put a new air filter in because old one was quite disgusting. Man what a difference. Purrs like a kitten. Improving other aspects of intake system surely would have a beneficial effect. Especially of turbo lifetime and on combustion.

Can somebody with one of those cylindrical air filter boxes do me a favour? Not sure if the defender and 200tdi D1 are the same box. But basically could someone give me dinensions of the housing. As is total length, diameter, intake outtake stub diameters and location (distance) of the outtake stub along the cylinder.

That would be a great help.

200tdi disco, out is in the end of the cylinder, intake in about halfway on the side. Can get some measurements later

i contacted donaldson as they have some housings too and enquired about some of them and they replied with this. not sure about the numbers they quoted as i haven't done any calculations but their customer service seems exceptional.

"Hi,
FYI, a 2.5L engine at 3,000rpm will have an air flow requirement of around 210cfm.
With that said the smallest XRB housing we do is the 08 model which is capable of flowing 265cfm at 6 inches.

XRB housing
P/N B080080 list $185.89+Gst 2 in stock

I have attached a print for your reference.

As for alternative housing options, you could look at using one of our PCD PowerCore housings.

I hope this helps!"

"Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for this information. That is what i call exceptional customer service.

I hate to be a bother, but do you also have specification drawings for the PCD powercore housing you mentioned? What sort of airflow do these get and also what are the filtration numbers like? As in the particle sizes that the filters take out and %.

It mentions it as being light duty, is this what a normal 4wd air filtration system would be? Would it be suitable for off-road applications?

Thank you again,"

"Hi,
The attached is our powercore brochure with air ratings, the ones that would work well for your vehicle, is the PCD’S which as near the back of the brochure. There are two that would work for your vehicle D090114 and D090115. 4WD drive is considered light duty just take a look at to filtration system that comes fitted. Powercore is designed to hold more dirt that standard air system"

See pdf attachment. if it doesn't work, i can send to whoever is interested.
