which drop in is in your opinion better K&N or Rallyart?

 

if you got the money Ralliart is the way to go
kn should cost around 50-60 bucks
ralliart $125

 

whats the difference?

 

APS has one due out in July for the EVO VII that they think should be fully compatible with our US Lancer EVO.

Hey jfh ....how are ya?
......what is that big tank for...is it for the IC spray...I bet that is heavy when full....Good find

 

That is PERFECT, Huge filter lots of smooth flow and also picking up cooler air lower in the engine compartment. With a little ducting from the drivers side front inlet you could get it fresh air. Do you know date and price (group buy?) I want

 

I'd be interested in a group K&N drop filter buy.

 

sweet..... looks like the filter will be a little later in my mod list.

 

SOrry for the late reply, but you guys are mising the point, First off, the air gets sucked into the intake, then it travels through a 1600 Degree turbo, THEN hits the FMIC to get cooled off.

A cone Filter DOES infact give a great performance gain, but not if it is the only mod, it also needs liek a SAFC and a MBC for a boost increase. for an otherwise stock car, it wouldn't be that great of a mod, but once you start flowing massive boost, you need it, no way arround it.

Plus you do have air channeled through the bottom of the car, and then up through the hood vent, as this is what the car was designed for, PLUS you got a ram air effect, see that BIG vent hol ethingy in the front of the car? Air goes through that while driving.


And IF you think that you are getting ram air on the stock unit, check out the hood as it closes, the weather stripping, blocks it.

I made 15WHP on a K&N with my TSI AWD, this mod is needed and is a first step, and the engine bay IS NOT hot while driving, air is constantly flowing through, at idle it is hot.


This is a great mod and is needed especially with exhaust mods.

 

someone else told me to take that stripping off the hood ....is this safe/ do anything really, especially for the cone filter users?

By the way, here is the 3000gt K&N kit on my car

I have been measuring my engine compartment with an "exposed air" K-type thermo couple in various spots. The air next to the air-box/intercooler piping to plenum/battery area is the hottest @ 71c while driving on a 42c day! The air going into the stock airbox was ranging between 42-45c at the airbox entrance. Unless you get a cone filter into some cool air, your just sucking a lot of hot air. I do like the photo for the APS unit.
