What filters for my IDA

[Blobber]

Hi

What filters are the best for my 48IDA?

I am useing the engine for steet. But I don´t what brand/type of filters that will be the best.
So far I have only found K&N and Ramflo.

I have two types of stacks. The original stacks and some who are wider, about 98mm outside at the top. But are there any filters that will fit wide stacks? I think the stacks are called "Pro-Stacks", but I am not sure.

Aircooled.net sells several excellent Uni-filter FOAM stack filters at a good price for Kads/IDFs/IDAs.

You will have to ask John about the specific sizes, he sells Uni, and they make filters to fit most anything.

Uni-filters are highly efficient air filters, as good or better as a filter than even synthetic media elements in some online tests. Gauze filters basically keep out rocks.

Thank you for the info.

What do you mean by Gauze Filter? Is that filter like mesh-filter?

Yes I don´t think the mesh filters would be a good solution for my street engine.

K&N or clones are gauze. they flow well, (but so does foam or synthetic media) but some testing years ago showed that you should expect ~50% more ring and somewhat more bearing wear due to ingested silica with gauze. (aka dust)

Thanks a lot for that information.

I think the filter is gonna be some foam-style filter then.
I hope to be able to install the engine in the weekend, so that I can measure how much space i got for the filters.

I ran some old SCAT fixtures in my Baywindow for a year with UNI-foam sheets from a motorcycle shop and spray on oil...For the Beetles I bought the A.C.E. K&N stack aircleaners - for modified-stock stacks...I haven't used them yet, but they're pretty.
