inline4 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 you should be concerned about keeping road debris from entering it right? how can you do so? Quote Link to comment

72dyme Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I thought you had a ka in your car, did you go ITB's. Or are you just asking a general question? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 . You will get better performance with air horns ..... ... probably not a good idea to drive it too much without horns/velocity stacks.. .. then get filters for those Quote Link to comment

Or are you just asking a general question? the KA car is sitting right now. future plans include a tear down. this is a different car. :o when I moved back to the bay area, my drive took 13 hours, because of an unplugged maf sensor :o 1 Quote Link to comment

Edz280zx Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 On my triples, I just put some screen mesh in between the airhorns and the carb. Probably not the best setup but I didn't have room for filters on the rear carb because of the brake booster. Quote Link to comment

Probably not the best setup but I didn't have room for filters on the rear carb because of the brake booster. I read a post on a different forum(corolla stuff) where the guy took his stacks off, traced the mounting points on to mesh screen. Cut out 2 pieces of screen for each stack, then put foam between both screens. reinstalled. Clean. Simple. Effective. Kept the air clean(er). Kept the stacks looking awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment

510kevin Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 thought id share these su stacks curious if they would work on 38mm su's. they have stacks with or without screens..... Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 thought id share these su stacks curious if they would work on 38mm su's. they have stacks with or without screens..... Those look like the ones I have. They are great but the screen really only keeps big stuff out, filters over the top are still recommended. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'd get the foam filters that they make for stacks over just mesh, just my opinion. Quote Link to comment

benzo Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I got the same filters that Wolf Creek sells but I got mine from pierce manifolds and am happy with them. they fit well and are affordable or at least in my opinion. Quote Link to comment

benzo Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 go onto the site and see what size you need. I think mine were about 38.00 per carb plus shipping and tax so about 100 or so. I was originally going to get ITG's but this is way more affordable and was easy to install. just measure the outside of the air horns and that will help for ordering. Pierce manifolds is great and have been dealing with them for years. side note I had been running for a bit with no filters which is not good but luckily did not drive the car a lot. when I put the filters on there was no ill effects.

flatcat19 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I see another "how-to" thread on the horizon!! Oh, if I had something with stacks, I would. It really is such an easy, functional mod...that keeps it kool. If any one has a set of 38's or Weber 40's they'd like to get rid of... :P (Seriously though, I am shopping for carbs.) wcr's site says that the pass through rate is .09 http://www.wolfcreek...id=21&Itemid=30 "lip lock technology with radiused entry for great signal and air flow. Three layer stainless steel filtering down to .009 with virtually no air flow restrictions. " how much did it run from pierce? since theyre local and all... Why buy? Go to Home Depot(I'm sure they're local too.) Buy yourself a 1'x2' sheet of the screen that goes on your storm door. Trace your stack on to the screen, multiple times. Then ask for permission before you use scissors to cut out the shapes you just traced. Layer 3 or 4 of those screens between the carbs and your stacks. Install bolts. Close hood. Turn key. Enjoi! Personally, I would do the foam in between two screens, but either way is functional. This is Ratsun!!! Why go buy the bling, when you can do your own thing. Seems like spending big bucks on something like that is unnecessary, and pointless. Other than spending the time to drive to the store, I can't see this project taking you more than 30 minutes. Maybe you can post OIC's of your progress, and gain back all that negative rep you got in, what I believe to be, your simple dilemma. Quote Link to comment
