Description
How do you fancy having a Cosworth Formula 1 air filter on display in your home or office? Well, exclusive to Modatek, we have this almost-new filter that looks incredible, and will certainly be a talking point to everyone that sees it.
Cosworth TJ Engine
The TJ was active in Formula 1 for four seasons. Designed and manufactured initially for Jaguar Racing in 2003, the TJ engine went on to become one of the benchmark engines towards the end of the V10 era. This engine was capable of speeds of up to 19,000 rpm with power in excess of 900 bhp.
Jaguar Racing and Jordan Grand Prix ran the TJ engine in 2004. The next year, Red Bull Racing took over the Jaguar team and continued to use the TJ. Finally, in 2006, Torro Rosso (formally Minardi) ran the TJ, with the maximum speed restricted to 16,000 rpm to allow then to compete with the newly-introduced V8s.

Cosworth TJ Formula 1 Air Filter
The air filter sat between the air horn (which we called the ‘aardvark’) and the engine trumpet tray (which we called the ‘airbox’). This pleated filter was carefully designed to ensure that it provided the correct amount of filtration without compromising engine performance.
The filter that we have for sale was used on the Red Bull RB1 engine and has barely been run, hence there are no markings or debris within it.
Details:
- Length= 59 cm
- Width = 41 cm
- Depth = 2 cm
- Weight = 585 g
- Material = Pleated filter surrounded by carbon and foam frame
