saulhudson32 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 so I have been in the constant struggle of wantying a cabin filter, not because I necessarily cant withstand some dust and need precise filtered air, moreso the issue of the condensor filling up with crap and burning up. As well its nice to not feel dirt in my teeth whilst following someone on a dusty road. So I came up with this: I would put it over that intake I regret cheaping out, I bought the smallest and cheapest air filter I could, it was perfect width so I only needed to really trim on one angle, however since its for the engine it was rather thick. I fear It may have slightly dropped the pressure of my blower. anyways there was a bit of measuring and trimming the sides a bit here and there. you do have to take out the wipers and cowl to get to the intake then i strapped it down on the one side with duct take 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Very interesting and genuinely ingenious! Wonderful prototype, maybe some type of plastic or sheet metal housing to make it easily changeable... Kudos! Keep us posted on how well it works....

Terranovation Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There's also the air box mod, involves cutting a slot into the air box behind the glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terranovation Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Haven't been game enough to try it myself, I think if you cut into the wrong spot the filter ends up too close to the resistor, which has a tendency to get warmish which could cause a fire from the filter element.

Kafike Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Interesting. I've thought about trying a cabin filter but never bit the bullet on it. I'm kinda tired of getting dirt in my face everytime I turn on the blower. Wind and desert living make for lots of dirt in the ducts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
