post pics of your baja or buggy air filter set ups and explain why you use it over other methods... have to make one for my buggys webber carby... who here just uses a pod filter with no housing? what are the issues regarding rain/water??

am thinking of running some tubing to the back of the body or above the rear guard to an airbox...

show us what you got...

..pod filter on top of carb??

airbox on back of body?

airbox on rear guard??

airbox on top of carby... wrx style bonnet scoop grafted on top?

you can draw straight lines in paint too you know !!!

cheers

hahaha.... i have trouble drawing straight lines on a notepad let alone freehand on paint!!! hahaha

I've got a snorkel and a uni-filter, works well, but they don't like getting too wet.

click on the geocities link below to see some pics.

I had a donaldson filtre on my manx, removed it and fitted a pod filtre, the induction noise was cool for a while but ended up getting on my nerves. Also they are useless offroad, they clog up with dust quick, if it rains they get water in them blah blah blah..... just to say I now again have the donaldon back on with a sand trap pre cleaner.

Don't know how mine is going to go yet, its almost ready for the road! Has a basic roundey-silvery filtery thing on it, nothing flash, although the mechanic says the guy who built the car didn't put it on properley and it was just rocking around in the breeze! From memory I think it was a 'Borg' brand?

As for performance in the wet, I hope not to find out for a while, as I have no roof etc. The filter is partially under the body of the car...if I get to the stage where I have water ingestion problems in the filter, I as driver will already be soaking wet, the seats and carpet will be stuffed, and I'll be cranky!

Crappy pic I know....

Gee, not much room... I've seen an old 1970s Holden six cylinder air cleaner housing rigged up; the tube to the carb was mounted on the original intake 'snorkel' and the engine breathed through the original carby hole. ie: The airflow went 'backwards' to the original Holden design. Cheap, strong housing and $10 aircleaners that were big enough to feed big power; therefore no restriction and plenty of dust retention capability.

now thats different! cheap, strong, ugly but different! :P:P

Donaldson all the way. Plus mine's plastic so no rust like the old one that came with it.

I've a Donaldson sitting on the back-you should be able to see it in my avatar-It's plumbed in for 2 carbs on a type 4 and it's worked well for years. Once had a pod filter on a type 1 years back but I think with the amount of shit and sand that gets thrown up under the bodywork it wouldn't have lasted long before getting stuffed. You could always go the way of the Haflinger 4x4 which had a little 2 stroke engine at the back but was plumbed in to an air intake right at the front!

yeah ancient bugger... i'll have to go buy myself a donaldson and i wanna mount it like yours, above the carby in my case....

anyone got a donaldson for sale?

.


Here's mine..
















Donaldson on a custom made bracket welded to the engine cage..
I won't use anything else ever again for off roading...
Be sure and mount it up high, to give it every chance of getting clean air..
If no one has one here for sale, try the 4wd wreckers.. they'll have lots...
