Weber remote air cleaner...

[Anonymous]

Will this unit provide enough air to a relatively stock 200?

The opening is 2 1/2" in dia.

They also sell a dual unit.

I think those units are intended for turbo aplication/forced air induction where size doesn't matter.

I believe you are right but I was thinking more of a remote conal air cleaner.

Ive seen those installed on small displacemente cars running DGEV carbs. 1600cc and so on, but also on Capris with the 2.8 v-6. I've looked one over, and decided the hole was too small, but that's not based on any kind of math. However, I found that when I upgraded the intake to a 3" pipe on my mildly massaged 1500cc Civic SI, it made a difference. conclusion: hole too small.

I thought the same think as you did however they do make one with two 2 1/2" dia. holes. - same price.

That is a nice looking unit. Can you pass me the info on that (price, where to get it, etc.)?

 

[LaGrasta]

Now that I think of it, the dual might be a nice kustom forced air set-up.

Sure, the address is:

I think I'm going to go ahead and order the dual out unit. If you think about it, the total area for that particular unit is probably more than say your average closed 2 BBL air cleaner housing.

I asked these guys about them. they said they aren't making them anymore. I was thinking along the lines of a ram air setup with it as well. Any other ideas?

 

[Anonymous]

Nope, at least not from me.

The only other idea would be a similiar setup like MG's. Use a standard drop base air cleaner and modify it to a two snorkel unit rather than one.

Or, use one of the other products they offer. I just find it hard to believe that with one opening you won't have enough air flow into the carburetor. After all, look at all the 5.0's with 3" dia. openings running to a conial filter. That's approx. 4.71 sq/in. at the throttle bodies opening (assuming a 76mm throttle body). The Redline and K&N adapter appear to be about the same (or close) size in sq/in.

But, that's just my opinion.

Just remembered something. X did a calculation in the required CFM based on CID with regards to air cleaner filter sizes. I think he specified the total area needed to achieve the desired filter size.



-Chris

 

[Anonymous]

ok, where is that calculation? I'm at 202 CID with ~357CFM (Holley 2300 500CFM only flows that so I've been told)

 

[Anonymous]

Did you know K&N makes one of these?!?

This might be the ticket...if not too expensive

 

[Anonymous]

Cool, but the first one is out of the question. The average built 200 needs about 50.2 sq/in. of filter air, it will only allow 45. But the second one looks good.

I think Summit Racing had them but they were very expensive, I think.

I'd have some reservations about it working effectively with passive induction. Even with the dual in - unless you had "socks" on the two nozzles. Seems that turbulence would be the killer inside it, and outside the length of comparatively small pipe could be a hindrance.

 

[Anonymous]

I was just thinking about the same thing, seriously!

Could be why CarCraft and others don't recommend "socks" for muscle cars. :rolflmao:

P.S. Back to the drawing board...or at least my CAD station.
