Induction inlet size?

B.Martin · January 10, 2012, 08:38:43 AM

What size is the induction inlet hose? I\'m not sure if thats its official name, i mean where you connect a potential aftermarket airfilter to the hose with the AFM on it, i seem to remember asking before but can\'t find the thread. We all know i\'m tight and i\'ve found a decent looking filter on the eBay, but i wan\'t it to be at least close to the size i need so i can get an adapter to fit it without to much hassle.

Thanks

Edit - i seem to think it was 80mm, is that correct?

Anyone know?

I can measure it over the weekend if you like

That would be a great help Prof, i\'m looking at being able to pick up a greddy universal thing for a good price. If i can get one thats not so hard to fit, then thats obviously a bonus.

Worse case you might need some kind of reducer - the AFM inlet is quite narrow !

The HKS induction kit for the FC comes with a reducer.

Yes, but i\'m far to tight to buy the full Â£200 kit :p

I got the AFM out of the garage - just looking for my blimin calipers to properly measure it now - worse comes to the worse I will resort to an old fashioned tape measure - will update when I get home tonight...

Your a good man Prof, my good friend Tassos thinks its around 70mm, but that was off the top of his head. You two would get on like a house on fire, the 2 of you are like walking FC dictionarys.

i have to admit - i thought they were 4 inch !! LOL

i could do with knowing though , i have a random cone filter in the garage that i could use

what happens ( out of interest ) if it does have the correct air return pipe on it .. can you just stick a small filter on the pipe ?

Did you get confused with something else Stu? :Giggle

yeah the girth of something else !!

Ok - so the inlet (narrow end) of the AFM is 62mm (there is a mm or two of lip - but size you\'re hose for 62mm

The outlet size is 76mm.
