AEM Dryflow Air Filter

['94IDITurbo7.3]

Santa showed up a touch early yesterday!


after much swaying back and forth between the napa 6637 filter and this filter i decided to get this filter b/c it is smaller than the 6637(i'm running out of room under the hood) and it is re-usable. it has also gotten good reviews from people that i have talked to that have used it first hand.

this is how i am going to route the piping and am going to put the filter.

i am currently running cowl air using the factory turbo air box and a one-time use filter. i'm tired of spending $25/filter every few months. i still have to buy a silicone boot to come off the turbo and connect to the 4" pipe. i will probly be making the intake shortly after Christmas so i will update with pics then.

Put a light coat of oil inside your intake tube and after a few weeks see if theres any dust stuck to the oil

i will have the CRD routed into the intake tube so i can just pull the intake tube off and look on the silicone boot.

I would run it towards passenger battery on an 093 it's alot shorter intake that way. Blocks less stuff,

Would probably have to relocate filter tower to run 4" to under pass batt. I ran mine similarly off my banks and had great results. Better filter, less restriction, better spooling and no banks airbox. But ats is designed better

yeah the fuel filter would need moved and i also have my coolant filter there.

Thinkin bout something like that on my Snorkel for my truck...gotta go on 4" tubing though...hmmm....me wonders...build an all metal snorkel this time...hmmm....naw...

Ill let you steal my idea... run a 6.9l van fuel filter so you can run your intake in the shortest route to the pass side

 

['94IDITurbo7.3]

All done!!! this is what i had to cut off the silicone piece to get it to fit.

This is the final product. i have the CDR tube running into the intake tube like that factory set-up uses.

i am happy with the way it turned out. cleaned up the top of the engine and sounds AWESOME! i gained about 3psi of boost as well. i didn't pay attention to my EGT's on my short drive. throttle response seems better as well, especially from a stop. seems to get going easier.

Nice....

how does it sound in the cab? any more turbo spool sound from the compresser side than before?

 

[Devon Harley]

I have close to the same set up an in the cab when you step on it. She sounds like a 6.0 sucking air lots of it lol.

 

['94IDITurbo7.3]

yeah the cold side of the turbo is pretty loud now. nothing annoying or anything though.

today i drove it to work. EGT's are the same as with the stock intake on, boost actually ended up being a couple psi less. the REALLY weird thing though.....my rpm's at 55mph are about 100-150rpm's less than before.

i don't feel this intake is getting a fair trial so to speak since my IP is a royal POS. i am sure that with a quality IP that was actually putting fuel out then my boost would have gone up not down. but like i have said in past threads of mine, you can see that when the egt's stop climbing the boost stops in it's tracks.

Rpm to speed cant change without changing tranny or rear end. Its a ratio...

As for lower boost same egt, what are your boost and egt numbers? 300ish is usually close to a warmed up idle/putt putt. Boost and egt as you know are related to fueling. If egts are low at WOT uphill then you can spin the fuel screw up. But if its high just doing freeway speeds id look at other things...
