Re: K&N Air Filter F20

Sorry not mean anything..
But I read some reviews on Hurricane, it not advisable.
Reason is that if happen that the filter trap some sand particles and when u never do a proper cleaning often, as the sand particles collect more and snowball to became a bigger particle, as the suction of the air, chances that the steel wire may give way and cos a hole, and the particle will get into the engine.

I am not sure how true this is..

Jus for sharing..

Hi, yes it can be true. but to reach such a stage, probably the filter is put in and never once taken out for cleaning. the key is to minimumly take it out every 5k/10k km for cleaning; cleaning as in wash with mild soap solution and blow dry it with compressed air
 
Re: K&N Air Filter F20

Can anyone make a DIY how to change the air filter? I dont want to make appointment, leave car and pay for this thing. Many thanks.

Actually washing with soap and blowing with compressed air will kill it and make the material crumble. You need to use a special filter cleaning kit (k&n has one) consisting of a cleaning and an oiling solution. Then it is sun dried before reinstalled. This is done every 50k as there are only so many times you can clean it before it kaputs.

There are 4 clips on the air filter cover, unclip these and put the cover (not all the way), you can see the filter. Take it out and drop in the K&N filter. Less than 3 mins job. (K&N filter no: 33-2990)

typing error, not "put", "pull up" the cover

Bought at McWell Ventures. First impression, very responsive and less FC ( i.e if you drive the same manner ). Theoritically more air = more power with same throttle opening .
 
Re: K&N Air Filter F20

I will try tomorrow. What do you mean by 'not all the way'?
I have seen 2 clips that are located in the left side between the bumper and the airbox (as you look the engine when you open the hood). Where are the other 2?
Thank you.
