K&N Filter and sparks plugs

[Shevchenko]

izit dat K&N filters hav a few types? why the diff?

and why K&N filters are so gd dat they can increase power?

 

which spark plugs are gd and can increase power? wats the reason for the increase ?

[Mondeo]

Yes, they have drop-in (replacement) mean same shape and size with stock filter, anther is the cone one, they also got that 57i with including the full kit inductions.

How many power increase which depend car to car basic, normally will get another 5bhp.

For spark plugs, please refer the "performance" colume's early posts, I think it has been discussed quite some times.

 

Cheers

Any idea wat type of K&N filter i shld get for my Lancer GDI & how much does it costs? Thanks...

[Mondeo]

Sorry that never have experience on Lance, may ask for other members.

Note that one drawbackon the K&N filters is that its tends to make the section right after the filter (dunno what you call it) oily and dirty.

[Mondeo]

I have not seen yet.

Too oily think whether they know how to oil the filter and proper procedure.

Some of them wash and oil every 10kkm

How about the noise level when using the drop in K&N filter compared to stock filter and the K&N cone type? I dun want my engine to sound really loud.

[Vtim]

For K & N drop-in, there will be a slight increase in the induction roar but still bearable, IMO . However, for the cone type, it will be loud

[Chris_ck]

How come everybody wans fast and loud yet i wan fast and quiet engine (sigh)? Is there no solution to this dilema?

[Madarmour]

As long as you keep the resonator, any noise level difference from the drop-in filter is negligible.

[Vtim]

I guess you can't have the best of both world

[Vtim]

If the resonator is remove, then there'll be less restriction in air intake . It definately helps in my lowly sprung cxxxxxc

Hi,

 

Forget about upgradin spark plugs, stick to stock. The "so called" best spark plugs like the iridium ones are so cheap these days; because they are only giving you negligable increment in whatever you were hoping for.

 

Been playing with these "toys" years ago, and came to realise that they have not negligable effect on your car..... including cables. Go for the air filter replacement though.

 

cheers.

Heard of this? Wan fast, fast but at the same time bitch abt petrol consumption!

[Madarmour]

I find by just removing the resonator, along with the K&N drop-in, there's less low end loss compared to the open cone filter.

[Madarmour]

I still have 8 Iridiums sittin in the storeroom! BTW, there are no performance cables for our babe...........

[Vtim]

Yep! Happens to 33 16v before Revert from Cone back to Drop-in to reduce the loss in low end . So, I'm doing the same to my Civic
