Ryco Air Filter A360 Vs K&n 33-2031-2 Review

[skyichigo]

Hey everyone, I had 03 350GT and it has traveled near to 50.000kms now, and these are the lists I need to do :

❏ Replace engine oil and filter

❏ Lubricate all locks/hinges

❏ Replace automatic transmission fluid

❏ Replace climate controlled seat filter (M45/M35/Q45, if so equipped)

❏ Replace differential oil

❏ Replace engine air filter

❏ Replace engine coolant/flush system

❏ Replace engine drive belts

❏ Replace in-cabin microfilter

❏ Replace manual transmission oil

❏ Replace radiator cap

❏ Replace transfer case oil (4WD/AWD)

❏ Replace wiper blades

❏ Rotate tires (except G35 Coupe, Sport)

❏ Optional: flush automatic transmission (flush with ATF)

❏ Inspect the following:

__ All lights

__ Axle & suspension parts

__ Brake lines & cables

__ Brake calipers, pads, rotors

__ Brake light & cruise control

switches2

__ Drive shaft boots (4WD/AWD)

__ Exhaust system

__ Front suspension ball joints

__ Fuel lines/connections

__ Fuel tank vapor vent system hoses

__ Headlights/adjust if necessary

__ Propeller shaft (4WD/AWD)

__ Steering gear and linkage

__ Steering linkage ball joints

I am going to DIY for some jobs on the list , and in regards of air filter, has anyone use the A360 from repco , if yes, please let me know if there is any downside about it (acceleration / power wise) ? As it's $13.88 compared to $89.00 KN air filter.

Thanks

I have used one, no issues with it.. I think any power differences with a K&N would be very minimal, if any at all. Most people buy K&N because they can be cleaned and reused.

Most people buy K+N because they are retarded and don't realise it will coat their AFM with a film of oil, causing it to meter air incorrectly.

Go with the Ryco paper element, or if you want a free flowing filter, a Blitz or similar dry cotton.

Do you know who stocks these blitz filters, or know the right part number? I need a new filter and was going to buy a K&N until i saw this.

maybe I should of washed a few more windows at the lights and purchased the JWT pop charger and z-TUBE.

I'm surprised the well known issues with oiled filters and MAF sensors, are not very 'well known'???

They are available cheaper but shipping may blow the price out.

buy a ryco/wefield one ... change every oil change like you ment to and will be better than a k&N

Our cars are NA and not like the filter is going to be a massive restiction
