REFLECTOR: Engine air intake

[Jay Yu]

Hi Scott,

I have been looking for an air filter. Cone style sounds good to me. Where
did you find the cone style air filter? Part #?

Thanks, Jay

Here's a picture showing my intake.  The small scoop below the lower cowl.
The air filter(cone style) is in the front part of the scoop. The scoop is
split, for and aft, so once the aft portion of the scoop is
removed(5 screws), the cowl can come off with the front portion of the scoop
remaining on the airplane.

The scoop was sized for an IO520 at 2700 rpm having 0 pressure at 100 knots.
Any faster and there should be an increase in manifold pressure relative to
the increase in speed. Any slower and its acting as a regular intake.

Scott
