Thread: she kept her motor clean and had a modified box...

PhilipA, sounds like you don't have much room for modifications, I see your dilemma. I am going to fit a Donaldson filter and housing under the bonnet, I will have to cut the top of the inner guard to set the body low enough to clear the bonnet, the filter is around twice the size of the original, so should provide plenty of air, Regards Frank.

here I was starting a post with heterosexual innuendo...and then Philip starts talking about end entries being better and having his opened up at one stage...

I have a packaging problem in that I have a Thor manifold which brings the throttle body forward , so I cannot even have the MAF clamped to the barrel mouth. Not ideal but only thing possible.
I experimented with a Commodore panel filter but the problem with snorkels, 2nd batteries and panel filters in RRCs is that the air inlet is necessarily on the bottom to stop water flooding of the element, and there is nowhere to put a pipe/fitting in a RRC unless you relocate everything behind the filter.
And seeing it exhibits such a low restriction , I did not think any gain is worth the effort. it has been like this about 7 years now, and I have never had a blocked filter,despite extensive dusty work, as I am careful and fit unifilter socks when in the bulldust.
