I need some help sizing a filter for a RV8 3.5

Post by stirlsilver »

Hi All,
It's been ages since I've been on this forum. Using the advice from here I modified my RV8 to run at 12:1CR and LPG only.
Anyway, I've got a foam filter on the engine currently and it is FAR too small for the engine. So I'm currently looking to change this when I fit a LPG mixer ring that I designed (I hope it will work better).

Obviously when choosing an air filter you have to maximize the CFM and minimize the pressure drop. On my car, I unfortunately don't have the luxury of space. The only place I can fit a filter is inside my wheel arch because there is absolutely no room in the engine bay. Anyway, this is what I'm looking at:

Am I skimping on the size too much here?? There is larger filters in this model range available, the filter above is AUD $200. The larger ones (below) are AUD $300+ Would love some opinions.
