Hi Pete,

have a a look at this I just found seems to be for a m3 rated for 420 Bhp but seems they do quite a lot of models including porsche but I was thinking something this kind of shape .

this measures up around 236mm height by 230 I think width but they must do all different types and shapes

Hi Daniel...I'm sure if it fits that it would be fine ....I haven't fitted a 'Porsche' recommended filter for many years, at least 15.... the only important part is that the filter has a 3" ID outlet as my pipework is all 3" and I don't want to reduce this...

cheers

Pete

I was thinking if this one fit in the gap, I would make a collar just shy of 3” and make a large washer around it and with and weld together so that you could cut a hole in the top and connect with bolts to the top of this one in the picture. Then you could weld a bracket onto the collar also as well as using it to connect your 3" ductinng.

i could draw you what I mean it would be very simple but if your just gonna go with a cone that you can find then fair enough but it wouldnt take much time if you have the tools.

If you fo come to that point and want some ideas I am glad to do you a drawing of what I mean and discription.

i havnt got much time on my hands myself but I could muster that up pretty quick and send it over to you.

I may even purchase this one as it does seem the right sort of size I was thinking of myself and then I would mod it pretty much as I’ve explained.

Ahh if only I had time to play at the moment ??( I’m still plastering at the moment and I must get back to the ceiling before it dries! )

let me know now if you beed any inspirational ideas if you go down that sort of route if making up your own ??

no no rest for the wicked

I use a "large" Injen cone filter with an inversed cone at its top, located below the horns. My car being a 90 it does not use the air ducts as seen on the '86 (I use 968 brake ducts which most likely work better), and as A/C was removed, I had enough room to route 3" piping all the way from the turbo inlet to below the horns since the aperture alongside the side member where the A/C bottle usually sits is wide enough to allow 3" piping to go through. In this area it is held in place with thick-ish rubber gaskets so that the aluminium piping does not rub against the shell.
I needed to cut the windstopper on the headlight frame and the headlight vibrates a bit but not enough to be an inconvenience.

Thanks for that info TTM, very helpful sir...

Id be wary of fitting a filter that low, you would be surprised how easily you could suck up water.

 

[TTM]

Never had a problem with the filter placed so low even in pouring rain or after power washing the car. I use the Injen sock.
