I bought a cone filter for my '86 944 turbo on ebay (which was suppose to fit the turbo but didn't). the adapter was in actuality only for the 944, 94 S2 and various other cars. so I'm asking: does anyone have a resource for a 944 turbo intake adapter for a 3" cone? Can't find anyone else on ebay.
You may not get too many positive responses here regarding cone filters. It seems our stock filter setup with the snorkel to draw in clean, relatively cool air is hard to beat. But of course, when you see a car with a full MAF conversion, they have a cone filter, so who knows. Good luck with your fitment issues, I'm sure there's some way around it.
Well the adapter bracket wasn't match drilled and I guess since it was only $14.99 I'll make a lamp out of it or something. I ordered a replacement from Lindsey Racing. It is specifically for the turbo and I can't wait to put it on. Just finished a venturi delete and checked all the other vacuum related lines and fittings so hopefully when I get this all back together, I'll finally be generating sufficient vacuum to supply my brake booster. This all started with no booster vacuum supply and no power brakes. I was generating about -20 inches Hg on the boost gauge at idle.
Since I was reading approx. -20 inches of vacuum at the boost gauge and around -6 inches at the inlet hose to the brake booster, I suspected a problem associated with the Venturi components and plumbing. So I just installed the Lindsey Racing Venturi delete silicone hose package along with new intake gaskets, and a couple of hoses that were also suspect. I also ordered a washable (K&N style) cone filter and custom designed adapter from Lindsey and of course it's on back order so there's no telling when I'll get this finished. Tomorrow I'll give the engine a test run to see if I've solved the vacuum issue or not. Fingers crossed.
Where does your boost+vacuum gauge get its measurement from? I assume a tee in the KLR vacuum line?
I highly recommend the Laust vacuum manifold: I got one last year and it sure provides a neat way to diagnose the individual vacuum lines. Looks great too. I think he still has some left
I replaced the venturi with the Lindsey Venturi Delete hose kit. After replacing that, intake manifold gaskets and a couple of suspect other hoses, my brake booster vacuum at start-up is now over 15 inches.
