Circuit Clutched April 18, 2009 Share April 18, 2009 my advise to stainless user... buy O2 sensor cleaner , or contact cleaner for electrical boards... clean every 6mths... to 1 yr... so to last ur sensors. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear April 18, 2009 Share April 18, 2009 Anyone who changed out their stock filter to Hurricane stainless steel ones experience CEL lighting up (O2 sensor)? just like to point out that CEL doesn't automatically point to a O2 sensor issue. you need to have it scanned using a OBD tool to find out exactly the error code. it could be a few issues: from bad sensor connections (IAT, TPS, etc) to more serious engine issues. what you can do is remove your battery for about 30 sec to 1 min, press on the brake pedal (to drain current from system totally) and then reconnect the battery and start again. this should clear the CEL. start the engine again and see if the CEL returns. if it does, you probably wanna bring to a mech to do an OBD scan.

Trex101 3rd Gear April 21, 2009 Share April 21, 2009 See this video on air filtration, disregard the salesman talk but take note on the technical explanation why you should use a good air filter for engine wear protection.

Kb27 Supersonic April 21, 2009 Share April 21, 2009 OT abit.. Hurricane and Simota stainless steel air filter, which is better? Any advise? Thanks Both are useless. They let in dirt like no tomorrow. Dirt is abrasive. It tears at your engine internals like sandblasting. Pretty soon, you get oil leak and all kinds of trouble. Still people want to pay good money to achieve 0.001 little hp and risk their engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Hurricane once, my O2 sensor in the cat coverter went kaput. I wasn't sure whether it's related to the use of coarse filtering or misfiring of my OWS sparks. Now that I've changed my ride, I bought Hurricane again, albeit with finer mesh size. However, I just don't want to end up with another CEL problem, and wanted to check out if anybody can share their experience that can related SS filter murdering O2 sensors.

Spinworkx Clutched April 21, 2009 Share April 21, 2009 It's quite well-known that Hurricane's filters provide very bad filtration but good air intake. There's always a trade off... Many have experiences CEL light on due to the O2 sensor because it gets dirty very fast with a Hurricane filter installed. Simota also same problem...both are equally as useless. There are many other better brands in the market... BTW, Hurricane made in SG hor? hehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
