ok - the hoard of small motorcycles we have in Pakistan are using oil soaked foam filters (best example Honda CG125), If you ever used them you know how to clean its filter and oil it again. Every chota of a motorcycle mechanic knows how to oil that filter. And its a two part filter one part is dense one part is loose.

Now back to my hatred of K&N, I have got a K&N filter for my mercedes benz lying with me here, its a POS, WHY you ask - its got 1/4 of the surface area of the original paper MANN-Hummel OE air filter, secondly when put to sunlight its got gaping holes that let the light come through even when freshly done with oil or dusted with dust stuck to oil (as K&N says the more dust the better the filtration). Lastly I tested the airbox pressure with it installed and with the OE one both at idle and at speed (my car is NA with a true cold air intake system), my car's engine is a diesel (hence sucks air like mad due to no throttle blade, has two flaps that tune the length of the manifold to increase suction vacuum for added torque - still both the OE paper one and the K&N showed similar numbers on the water gauge test.

Now - kya karein. million mile warranty that is provided by K&N is not accepted by any manufacturer, if you bust the engine due to running a muddy air filter - you pay for a new engine.

speaking of which - hey SER - buy a Honda CG125 filter and see if its oval mouth can be stretched over the throttle cone.

Not A Bad Idea.....!! CG125 Filter...Mein Teey Honda He Leein Saan

@xulfiqar

k&n has good free flow, AND i was not expecting such a reply from you.

i have to presume that you are considering k&n without oil,

i wrote above , oil holds the fine dust.

(it sticks to oil). i hope is clear now.

the discussion is not on n/a engine and an engine with additional turbo on it..

@sergtr
i didnt knew, the discussion is going this long, k&n has million miles warranty in some countries , that works only if its used carefully.

same with foam filter designs, there are usually two layers of different types and thickness is by measurement. and again oil is used to hold fine dust and filter has to be cleaned.

element filter is not reusable, surface area is less on itb, tears quick. yes cheap,

but is yr car cheap??.

Who Says We Need One That Needs To Be Washed....And Reuse...!!

I Have So Many Options.....We Can Replace Them Simply Whenever Needed....!!

Washing A Thing Again And Again And Again And Again Will Finally Make It Worse........!!! I Won't Have Any Good Experience When It Comes On Reusing A Filter....!
I Better Replace It With New One.....!!

Instead Of Spending On Costly Imported Filters...We Better Find Something Easily Available .....!!

I Am Sure Element Filter Will Do 85% Of What We Want From It.....!!

In Stock Cars....Even After OEM Filters We Still Find Dust Somehow.....!!!

In Foam Or Urethane Filters .....I Will Be Around Same Or Bit Better Than

OEM Filter But Overall Filtration Is Not So Hard ...!!

Discussion Seems Quiet Hot Here........!! We Need To Cool It Down.....!!

[levin]

that is not costly. you guys wasted money painting the engine now yr out of budget

[Xulfiqar]

just like you said that as long as it drifts its good - no matter if half the wiring is hacked up.

speaking of drifts... have leads on an AE-86 that has unearthed it self and is up for sale... i'm waiting for the guy to send me the pics so i can confirm the claim... lets see...

[Xulfiqar]

I missed a deal of a lifetime in Karachi - it was an 83 corona GT, fully complete with 4AGE, T50 and IRS with LSD at the rear (drift champ) - 4 wheel discs, slitted seats and original lightweight rims. It was in beautifully complete condition - the only problem was that it was very dirty from everywhere and its front lights were cracked.

I saw the car being used on CNG - and being maintained by the most jaahil mechanics you can know. I tried to talk the owner out of the deal but could not get him to budge, he was one of those buttwipe type of people.

ROFLMFAO.....!!

No More Argue On Filters.....!! Let Me Sort Out The Major Issues 1st....!

After all Its Not My Car ...He Better Know How Much Money He Got And On What He Can Spend And On What NOT...!!!

He Already Ask For Filters And Those Were Expensive...!! But We Have To Make It Work Somehow.....!!!

NOT Being Sarcastic Like Others People Around Us...I Tried To Solve Things Rather Than Just Claiming To Be Master Of Things.....!!

Wiring Guy Was Claiming To Generate VSS Pulse Directly From Gearbox Using a Standard Wire Driven Speedometer Mechanism And Get Rid Of CEL....!!!

That's Different That Speedometer Itself Is Not YET Working

People Here Have Their Own Way Of Working But As I See

95% Are JACK Of All...Master Of NONE.

U need an emulator for vss pulse. I call it phuddu circuit

[levin]

no tension , its burning wheel's car, he can put whatever he wants and wire it however he wishes:).

[SER_GTR]

@spectra...!

Phajee Thats A Long story How I Make It Possible In My Sprinter....!! My Cable driven Meter generates That Pulse Now......!!

Yes You Need a Pulse generating Mechanism But The Pulse Cycle Is Different That what Speedo Type Sensors Generates....!!

[Xulfiqar]

for VSS pulse get a daewoo racer speed sensor it screws onto the gearbox cable output, has 3 wires (its hall effect) and has a provision for the original speedometer cable too.

You can also look for a similar unit from a Cuore that had EPS, charade G11 with digital speedo or a G100 with A/T, it takes a very similar unit and has two wires, the unit pulses 4 times per rev. It screws right onto the output connection and has provision for a speedometer cable.

You can also ask some taxi meter works for such a sensor, its used to the run the digital fare meters you see.

No biggie - its a yawn and a scratch..
