Filter Minder

[jetjock]

Was going through some old pics of the car and found this one showing my Filter Minder install. Don't think I ever put it up here so...

 

[shaeff]

That's very cool! I assume it works off vacuum produced when the filter is clogged?

 

[IJ.]

Cool gadget

My filter is "hidden" so one of these would make life a little easier for me where did you get it JJ?

 

[suprahero]

You must be the one that outbid me for that on eBay JJ.............:3d_frown:





Just kidding. I've never seen one before.........:biglaugh:

 

[jetjock]

Yeah, it measures the delta P between ambient and the area behind the filter. Works with any kind of filter. Since a filter's efficiency increases as it loads changing it early is dumb.

They also come in panel mount for people like IJ

As Jay said you can often find them on Ebay for cheaper.

Just poked around a bit: http://www.filterminder.com/

Damn, you're fast, G!

 

[jetjock]

Not fast, lucky

And before any of you ask there's a hole drilled down the center of that bolt. Duh.

I don't run a panel

The Filter switch would be perfect though that way I can display it on the dash!

No Aussie distributor...

 

[jetjock]

I think the switch only closes at the end point. Better to remote the indicating type because it shows incremental loading. Either way I'm sure one of the flock can solve your problem. If they don't let me know and I will...

 

[IJ.]

Thanks Gary, I think the switch would suffice as a "CLEAN FILTER NOW Dumbass"

 

[GrimJack]

Nice! Thanks Gary, that's a sweet little widget.

Welcome Dave. Have fun with it.

Ian: Lol. Reminds me of the big "Landing Gear Asshole" labels I use

 

[Zumtizzle]

I like it!

Thanks again, Alex.

 

[Heavy D]

GM trucks have those on there air box, pretty cool idea to have one for hidden intake filters

LOL My dash would display my custom message

Do you own a diesel jetjock haha. Good idea, just never seen one on a gasoline engine before.

Here is the one that comes with the TRD intake on the 5.7L Tundra:

 

[Justin727]

lol I had one of those I threw on my 03 Tundra and already threw one on my 4runner. But not on the supra

 

[reydio]

Wow, that is neat. Good for CAI set ups, or hidden filters. But overall, a handy indicator.

 

[dumbo]

Never seen one on a gas. Cool.
