Does it make much difference in iat having the turbo intake shielded in engine compartment on single turbo street car. Whats the ideal size and type of filter I should be using on a 4in inlet diameter turbo
S&B are great! lots of size choices and great website. Ran one of those for years before switching to the R2C. (believe it was a dry filter) Also FWIW I saw no difference in performance at around 900 crank power levels switching to the R2C. Think it was only a 6.5" filter as well, feeding an S480.

I've always used AFE and wonder how they compare. Also wonder why R2C doesn't offer a reverse cone. That would add a substantial amount of filter area.

They do offer the inverted cone
I have depression data on both the the black hex and aFe dry flow in the real world
I made a ram air type scoop that seals off the filter from engine heat and only allows air to enter from the grill area. It’s not a perfect cylinder, it tapers as it goes toward the turbo.
I also run the aFe filter. HUGE pita to make a cone shape with a flange that tapers 2/3 of the way around but is flat across the “top” as in my case.
Zac, great feedback! Seems to me at the 750-800rwhp level, it would be a wash between those two and it comes down to price and finding a size/shape that fits.
No problem, data is ftw lol
Eeither one would be great and honestly the AFE would be right there If it was fresh, Even though it's about a wash right now
I used that AFE in a high dust environment on my compound turbo diesel.... It is crinkled because I had dropped kicked it across the shop lol
I had very fine dust on the inlet tube getting past the filter, So a paper filter went back on
But on a streetcar out of very fine gravel dust it's fine lol
