yeah it's oiled up cotton :P . Oil treated filters is generally argued not good for MAF sensors.

what oil is in the recharge kit thing? why do they need oil? to catch dirt?

just something ive always wondered.

yeah mate, that reason :rolleyes:

well thats what i thought, but then that means the cotton filter doesnt do much if it needs oil to catch the dirt?

and recharging it would mean putting more oil on it, over top of the dirt and oil that is already there. how is that a good thing?

no offense to KISIN, but if you're gonna use a K&N pod, you may as well throw handfulls of dirt into your afm.

the Apexi is the way to go according to tests, and the 3A is alot cheaper and still right up there. i'd be choosing between those two.

yeah... cause experts at K&N have no f**ken idea right monkeyboy? :rolleyes:
i wouldnt stick a piece of oiled up foam in my intake. you can if you want
Um Sorry to inform you MUNKYBOY

but K&N isnt oiled up foam.......

You have beeen wrong in the last couple of post u had put up m8

theres alot of controversy surrounding those tests though.

Look at how many test have been performed lately, and EVERY single one comes up with COMPLETELY different results. I remember looking up a topic about this in the Forced Induction forum and comparing it to the Autosalon mag. one...worlds apart. From memeory, they said that the Apexi is the shitest by far :dry: Look it up in AS if you dont believe me.

As for the oil...you dont drown the damn thing in it...besides how hard is it to clean a AFM once in a while ? two sparys and ur done.

thus the reason i said there is alot of controversy, for want of a better word, sourrounding them.

which throws my recommendations of a 3a filter out the window.

Nah, i agree with you, was just pointing it out even more to Monkey.

Hmm the 3A might actually be a decent filter though...

I already pointed out that i was mistaken, coz i was thinking of the HKS mushroom oiled foam pods when i read K&N.

Geeeeeeeeeeeez you forgot to quote that one didnt you!?!?

But i still wouldnt use an oiled filter. Personal preference really.

I use an Apexi pod. I like it. No maintenance. No oil. Ive heard very good things about the 3A's too.

I'm sure there are thousands using each type of pod, so they must all work relatively well.

Magazine tests aren't worth shit, vested interest just being the half of it, the one I linked was an International Standards Organisation test done by and approved and accredited agency.

But at the end of the day people will do what they do, and believe what they want, placebo therapy is plenty evidence for that.

I wasnt aware that the HKS mushrooms need to be oiled ??

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
