this may seem like a noob question or something, but I don't know. I was looking through the members rides just looking at the turbo ones, and noticed that only 1 of the 3 I look at had a air filter on it. Why don't you guys run filters?

running open TB on an NA car is not good cause its sucking in MAD hot air.
Turbo cars are okay as long as they have little screans or whatever, because the air is getting circulated through an intercooler.H22 Prelude VTEC 92-96 200 161 10.6:1 87 90 DOHC VTEC 2157 JDM

i run a filter...but when i tell u theres a difference in power between off and on
I MEAN THERES A DIFFERENCE IN POWER lol!
Faster spool, torque steer from a roll and howling through the top end like a bat outta hell kinda power.
I'm gonna run a screen probably, i hate having to take the battery tray out to clean a damn air filter. Another thing, most of the pix u see don't have intakes on the turbo's cause it was just to get a clean shot of the turbo ya know. Most ppl do actually run oneKnowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

Factory turbo cars run air filters for a reason.

its like this, even with a screen on the turbo it'll last for about 60-80k miles or roughly 4-5 years. By that time its gonna need a rebuild anyways, not to mention most of us would be pushing 240k+ miles on the engine lol. But yea steve b i think your right some of the dirt particles can and will hit the blades causing wear and tear faster

meh.. dont wear t3h condom guys.. run that bitch open! lol... but what R33 said is true... most of the shit is atomized anyway.. what.?? u dont think dirt gets passed ur air intake filter?? if the particle is small enough it will.. same with turbo.. if the particle is small enough to get get confetti sp? by the blades.. it will get past it..
nothing some sea-foam cant cure!! lmao

Since MRX says there is a HUGE difference in power between having a filter or not, I'm gonna do the best of both worlds. Run a filter daily, and then weekends(or whenever I plan to race/dyno) I'll run a screen. After I get used to it I will probably end up running a screen permantly, because I plan on upgrading to a big 16g, maybe even a 20g this summer. THanks for all the input, cleared a lot of things upShift_BOOST
