What about cars that run with no cover. For 1000 + miles? don't think fine dust is an issue. And if u slow that air down your gonna get hotter clutches.

Cars with no covers are typically dunes which the sand is a lot more dense than fine dust. And with no cover its easy for that dust to escape. With a cover on it can only swirl in the cover and escape out of the exhaust port on the back cover. Have you seen how dirty your air filter gets in find dust in 30-50 miles? Now just imagine all of that swirling around your clutches and not all escaping. The particulate filter I was talking about won't slow the air down, it will funnel right in.

Its no different than an engine IMO. You let dust into the cylinders that dirt slides up and down with the piston eating up the cylinder walls. So why wouldn't sliders in a clutch wear when dirt is funneled into it? Same logic, dirt and heat affect the clutch life.

Particle separator? I was referring to the oiled k&n style with outerwear. I would assume that has less flow than stock.

The stock CVT intake goes from 4 inches at the cover to 3 inches where it goes through the bed. My system is 4 inches all the way through, so it probably averages out the same Flow as stock.

Maybe one of these little bs super chargers on eBay would do the trick put on the Cvt intake.

Does anybody make a kit to pull air from inside the car between the seats? Seems like that would be a clean spot to draw from . Seems like it wouldn't be to hard to duct it in threw the wall .

I haven't seen one. But I do know that s@b particulate separator is working on adding the clutch intake to their kit. You can mount between the seats or the roof. It's a little pricey but to me would be worth it. It prolongs your air filter life and if it keep the majority of the dust out of the clutch would be a winner.

Your allum tubing will fail. It will be broken on the first ride. You have to get something stronger.

I think the pocket in the clutch were the sliders are need a 1/4 hole drilled to let the dirt fly out the end while it is spinning. And after every day of riding you should blow out the area with compressed air.
Drill the hole it looks like it will not affect a thing.

Im going to drill 2 holes in my cover with some kind of screw or rubber plug. Everyday at the dunes. Open the plugs Blow compressed air at each clutch. Put plugs back in. done. easier then taking cover off.

Talked to S&B today, they are working on a clutch cover particulate separator, at least a month out. They said the clutch pulls twice as much air as the engine so it wouldn't work to do a split inlet on their exiting unit. I have an S&B P/S on my Turbo and have yet to need to clean the air filter after 4 very dusty trips to the desert, it is an exceptional system, can't wait for the clutch cover application!!!

Good to know. I was figuring one could use the engine one and stack them if need be.

There is now way of filtering belt dust.

This is what I did to my XP4 1000.

Got any other pictures, perhaps of how you mounted the metal tube to the body ? I need to do this.

Yes there is something to filtering incoming air into the CVT system. Our kit was tested and proven on Jeep Safari's rental fleet in Sedona, AZ.. On there fleet of XP1000's we have been able to extend the service life of the drive components. One of the most important things is filter selection and size so you do not add restriction to the system. Unfortunately you get what you pay for and if your using a low cost filter it probably will not perform well, initial restriction rise will be high and will pack and clog rapidly.

Also working with race teams we have found that excessive heat in the cover is a problem. Of course running without a cover reduces this problem, but is simply not an option for racers. I personally have been playing in the dunes for thirty years. Sand is highly abrasive and can only imagine running without a cover will more than likely decrease drive component life.

We have found that with the cover in place that the primary and secondary drive components actually fight one another and create a swirl effect of hot air that struggles to exit the single exhaust duct located at the secondary. Our "Quick Draw" kit reduces that swirl effect and allows excess hot air to exit the cover. We are currently testing a similar kit for the XPT and should have a kit available in the near future.

Here is our kits....

I like this idea, I just wish you or someone would make it where you could plumb the filter or intake inlets up high to keep some of that big dust swirl from the tires off the filters would prolong the clean period.

Of course we run the kit on our personal car (XP1000). Have run in some very dusty conditions over several days and long miles with no issues. Nice thing about having the filters easily accessible is it takes very little time to take them off and blow them out at camp between rides. Now with the pre-filter in place on the engine side it has reduced servicing the main filter. We simply keep up on the pre-filter and service the main filter at our regular oil service intervals. We run ours without the nylon filters wrap and have run into rainy conditions with no ill effect (Filters do not shut down like many others).
For those of you that run in muddy or very wet conditions constantly we do offer the wraps to help repel water and keep big chunks of mud off of the filter surface.

We do have the pre-filter kits for the Turbo! Just specify when you order due to the adapter being slightly different than for the XP1000.

how do I find this on EBAY?

Even in mud and rain you are still getting dirt through the frog skins. We have a filter for the turbo that can be used in dry dusty or even in the rain and mud. Effective in both conditions. Requires no modifications.
It backs up the frog skin and is easily washable.

We also have a quick access kit that allows you to easily remove and replace the bezels like on the XP. https://wolfsnout.net/shop/utv-accessories/cover-cvt-filterquick-access-kit-rzr-turbo/
