IDF40's centre mount air filter
I am considering making a centre air filter set up for my dual 40's.
The engine is 1600 capacity and I am running 28 vents.
It appears that there is a lot of turbo induction material about and it would be easy to make a system from 3" dia pipe work.
I have a feeling that with 3"pipe work I may have air velocity trouble?
Is there a maximum size I should be looking at or will 3" intake tubing be OK?

I would think that the 3" would be ample
I used CB Turbo Tops and they are 2"
Have a look at the CSP one
Futue te ipsum!!!

I made this et up on a 1775 with a engle100 cam, the pipe size was 2.5 inch, an over kill really when you consider the standard air clearer inlet
size, this worked very well and made a good improvement

Have a look at Alfa boxer style engine set up.
Fan housing maybe a problem but could give you some ideas
They fit with some mods to T4 in a 914
67 T1 BJ IRS
61 T1 Karmann Cab
