Ok Ba "finer Filter"?

**pajerokid** · July 7th, 2003 05:47 PM

I got a "Finer Filter" drop-in air filter kanina. Is this any good? I cant seem to find any reviews on the internet on this OZ filter eh.

**vinj** · July 7th, 2003 06:39 PM

I'm not so sure but you could try to find similar products made of the same material (i.e. foam, paper, etc) then use it as a point of comparison of for the filtering qualities.

I better subscribe and monitor this thread.

I was supposed to get Mr. Finer Filter last week. Until appoinments got tangled up.

Question: Magkaiba ba ang filtering properties ng K&N compared to Finer Filters?

**pajerokid** · July 7th, 2003 09:07 PM

I guess slightly different. Finer Filter is an oiled foam filter whereas K&N has an oiled cotton filament. Kakainis coz walang article ako makita.

The price is a-ok though. Drop -in sya. I got mine for Php2,800.00. Considering the orig air filter costs Php1,200+, the finer filter will pay for itself after 10,000kms :D

What branch did you purchase yours? I inquired last month for my TD42 engine and it was quoted at P2,400 plus 500 for the oil.

Then I'm thinking what if the oil get sucked in past the foam filter? Will it cause damaged to the engine?

ungas..basta wag mno lang damihan masyado...maykonti akong oil na nakita sa tubo ko na papunta sa engine..malayo pa naman..pero they are sucked in talaga...

and open type nga pala ung akin....

What's the diff of Finer Filters and KnN Filters for diesel engines?

Which is probably better?

**Sheep** · July 7th, 2003 10:49 PM

Ive been using finer filter on my 4d56T for almost a year, no encountered problems of anykind.
Just be sure to follow cleaning schedules religiously youll be fine.
It is recommended on the instructions that came with it to Clean every 15000 but i clean mine every 5000.
also dont forget to give it a visual inspection from time to time maybe every 2tk or so just to be sure that it wouldnt dry up (baka daw kasi magpulbos and mahigop ng engine)

in terms of performance own observation ko lang, i felt my engine became more responsive or psychological maybe? well parehong pareho lang ng k&n coz ive also used this before on the same vehicle.
mas maganda lang ang tunog ng k&n at the same time mas maganda ang price heheh

**Sheep** · July 7th, 2003 10:53 PM

K&N is more expensive
Finer filter is cheaper
Performance? basically the same based on my own observation

**Rod & Bubbles** · July 8th, 2003 12:39 AM

K&N di magpupulbos pag natuyo. Finer filter na foam may possibility pero matagal mga 1 year na tuyo. That happend to my friends car na di ginamit for a year.

as for oil getting sucked in, remember that the breather sa valve cover nakakabit sa intake. kahit paano the engine sucks in oil from the vavle cover. so ok lang yun

**Ungas** · July 8th, 2003 08:47 AM

So, is it better to use the cotton type K&N than the foam type Finer Filter?

Di ba delikado yung oil ng filters? Di ba mas prone na kumapit ang alikabok sa oil, therefore you'd have dirtier intake hose than normal dry type filters.

**nikko m** · July 8th, 2003 09:49 AM

pajerokid,
where did you buy your finer filter?and malayo ba price diff. between knn?

**sir_jeep** · July 8th, 2003 10:26 AM

I'd still go for the K&N filters hehehe....... coupled with a fiber glass tube intake......

**pajerokid** · July 8th, 2003 12:41 PM

ungas:: di naman delikado yung oil sa makina. the dirt wont get it coz thats what the filter is for diba :D

Nikko m | Ungas:: got mine from Rats Alabang. Medyo expensive yung drop-in sa pajero coz our filters are HUGE! :D Yung K&N na kay liit 4000+ na eh, what more for the Pajero-size filter. IMO, overpriced ang K&N dito sa Pinas. Mura lang sa Amerika yan e.

Sheep:: I totally agree with you dude! And rest assured, the performance increase is not Psychological. I feel it too (unless we're both Psychos hahaha :D ). ACtually, ive been using a free flow simota intake... that's until it twisted itself into a sundae cone.

**Ungas** · July 8th, 2003 01:01 PM

Hmm... I'm 90-10 sure that I'll be installing it maybe next week. Sasabay ko na yung rear poly bushings.

**pajerokid** · July 8th, 2003 08:15 PM

Magkano kuha mo sa poly bushings??? for the rear lang?

**Ungas** · July 8th, 2003 08:32 PM

Nasa 3-4K aabutin yung rear.

Sudden change of plans, I might go there tomorrow. :D

**Sheep** · July 8th, 2003 09:01 PM

pajerokid

do you happen to be from the south area?
simota vs finer filter which produces a better vrooom (hagok)sound?

**pajerokid** · July 9th, 2003 12:42 AM

Sheep,

I dont live there but im always in the Alabang area... work :D

The simota has a louder 'hagok' sound, but then again, it has its own intake tube and all.

My current Finer Filter is a drop in, medyo concealed din yung sound.

I'd advise against simota for our 4d56Ts. Mine literally twisted and the plastic parts broke! good thing the turbo didnt swallow any of it. A total waste of money.

**Rod & Bubbles** · July 9th, 2003 12:51 AM

Polybushings are great. I run full poly bushings. marami mga noise nawala. ride is harsher but handling is way better and the bushings are indestructible.

as for oil attracting more dirt, yun yung point ng oil. it helps filter out more dirt then dry air filters. thats also the reason you should clean your filters regularly.
