I wanted a cone air filter but I don't want to suck hot air from the engine compartment so I went with a Ford air filter because 1) It's a cone and 2) It's in a sealed box I can plumb to cold air outside the engine compartment. I started with the smaller V6 filter but have gone to the larger V8 filter.
An excerpt taken from my thread http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...triction/page3
"I just measured the two filters, both are Wix by the way. Both filter's pleats measure the same 1 1/4" wide by 5 1/8" long but the V6 has 68 pleats and the V8 has 100. I'm not as good at math as I use to be so I'm showing my work.
So 1.25" x 2 = 2.5" (one pleat opened up) x 5.125" = 12.812 square inches x 68 pleats = 871.25 square inches for the V6 filter.
1.25" x 2 = 2.5" (one pleat opened up) x 5.125" = 12.812 square inches x 100 pleats = 1281.20 square inches for the V8 filter.
A difference of 409.95 square inches or 47% more surface area. Right?"

I put one in my truck a few years ago
first night test ride at 45-55 mph for an hour and a half each way my edge tuner showed a steady 2 mpg improvement
went from twenty to twenty two
it was a "stage" in my improvements that have got me as good as 25 mpg at 45-55
if I go 60 it drops back to 17
air filter element is better than K&N , even just their pleated style filter which is the one I have
- I've held so many K&N's up to the light and noted there is no filter material left in the folds of the pleats , just open screen
- not good for filtering much and definately not lasting the claimed million miles lol
Got the K&N RU-2510 on order that mounts right on the turbo. Debating if I should keep the 3" pipe going from in the front of the radiator as a duct to the new filter to bring cold air to it. Does anyone think that pipe will help direct cold air to the turbo filter, or should I just block that opening off next to the radiator.
Do you have a way to log temps, or measure pressure in an area? If the pipe is in a high pressure area, and the pressure is lower where the filter is, I would think that you would draw a fair amount of cool air to it. Frankly, with the airflow requirements of the turbo, I would suspect that it could create a localized low pressure area just from that.
Installed the filter and I can feel a noticeable difference, spool is quicker now. The turbo is a lot louder as well. Will start adjusting my tune. So far first impressions are good and Jackson knows what he is talking about with the filter right on the Holset
I haven't done any measured testing, one thing I have noticed is that with the CAI on my minimum pressure to open the waste gate was 20 PSI, I took the intake off and switched to the filter and without changing anything else the minimum pressure to open the waste gate jumped to 25PSI. So there was definitely a restriction with the 3" intake. I have also had to add fuel to my tune. The car now demands more fuel at a given PSI than it did before with the 3" CAI. I had to loosen the actuator 1 full rotation to get the minimum boost back down to 20 PSI.
