how much does a 1600tp baja suck??
got a line on a good & cheap donaldson off a 40hp stationary motor.
its rated to 67cubic foot/min.
the question is; will a std 1600tp top this out & starve for air??
i'm hopin that if it works on a 40hp stat motor, the old baja wont worry it.

Well a 1600tp, at 5000rpm, and running at 100% volumetric efficiency, will use 141cfm of air (by my calcs anyway).
Obviously your not gunna get 100% volumetric efficiency, but how bad your gunna get is another thing. 67cfm/141cfm = 47%. So I would say it will
restrict it at higher rpm.
Donaldson's should be cheap, no-one wants them. I got two sitting in my shed that I wouldn't use cos they cause weird flat spots and really
aren't a very good air filter.

Well
Donaldson's are great heheh, you need a 6" donaldson for a 1600TP. Not a 4" which is what you have.
Wes's hates them... but I think they are the best bolt on solution out there for an offroad VW.
That being said I don't have them on my buggy but a great deal of time went into my setup and most wouldn't be bothered.
Anyway the other option is to use the old factory VW oil air cleaner, they work fine as well.
The big advantage of a donaldson is that it gets the filter up an and out of the dust.

anyone serious about protecting their engine uses a K&N filter set-up. Mount it out of the dust and mud, and make deflector plates in need be.
Then when you go offroading put a foam sock over the K&N for that extra level of protection. It also means the K&N doesn't require as
much cleaning.
My filter set-up.

RICE ??
Who are you calling RICER ?? Wasn't me who spent many many hours polishing stuff "bling bling " :o:o
Back to cleaners, I actually run 3 K&N's. 1 for each IDF and 1 for my case. All three sit up the rear out of everything. The IDF's have
stainless steel (un polished hehe) box's on top with 3" outlets which are plumbed into the bass on the filter tree using some 3" rubber
fles with stainless wire ribs.
Do they work ?? HELL YES !!, after a trip to Stadie, I can back with maybe 3 grains of sand on them, everything else was clean. Pulled the IDF's
down and found nothing ( as expected ) Drained the oil and nothing once again.
I can now happily drench the entire engine and it doesn't miss a beat.
Even drives over Subaru's without spluttering.

I thought your Baja was one big rain deflector :P:P
My buggy don't need one, I just leave it in the shed if it looks liek rain
I actually do have a hat for it, so should be fine. MK2 is a little different.
