Air Filters

[95 GTS25T]

Hey all I just purchased a drift high flow air filter today for me r33

and it says that its cleanable and reuseable and that it can be used either wet or dry

so does this mean that when I clean it I don't have to use the oil from the cleaning kit

that came with it, sorry if this is a dumb question I'm a little new to this

my old laser tx3 was'nt worth modding lol everytime I tried people kept flogging stuff

off it, so now got skyline I'm starting to mod again.

mods to my car are coming along slowly

have got 3inch mandrel bent exhaust from turbo back

and now have just got air filter it is a lot more responsive and

I have plans to boost it up to 10 or 12 psi a little later on

Haha - welcome to the modding department!

You'll pick up from 'search' buttons that there are threads out there 'linked' to studies of using wet or dry filters.

Essentially these studies give ratings on...

i) quality of filtering and...

ii) quantity of flow

APEXi & K&N scored very well indeed on both + a couple of others in tests

For instance, HKS 'wet' sponge pods scored poorly on both areas, so I changed my filters but kept the induction pipes.

Then there's the question about whether or not you should use wet or dry depending on if you have AFMs.

To keep the story short,

It has been recommended that if you have AFMs, it's safer to keep your filters 'dry'. But many SAUers remain very careful = extremely careful about how they oil their filters whilst having AFMs. AFMs will not cope with residual/XS oil slipping past the filter. APEXi is an example of 'dry' type.

If you don't have AFMs (which I don't whilst using an F-Con Pro-V ECU), a K&N filter is an example of a 'wet' type.

You choose...

I'm kind of curious about how I would clean my APEXi Power intake (given that I live in a dusty place and it cost me $160), in the test that one of the 4cyl mags did, a cheapo brand called 3A Racing came out on top in terms of the trade off between filtration and flow. I'd try and use a dry filter, it's a pain in the ass to be cleaning and then trying to oil a K&N filter enough to actually work but not enough to kill the AFM.

Take it off and blow it out from the inside out.

Could clean it with regular filter cleaners too. Then dry it and put back on. Done
