stock air filter vs. simota or K&N

[baludoy]

Good morning Sirs, Just would like to ask if will the K&N drop in type air filter void my warranty?

according to my SA, hindi naman (citimotors). ewan ko nga lang pag nagkataon na may ma-damage baka umurong bigla ang dila ng SA ko hehe

medyo ot pero bilib din ako sa customer appreciation ng k & n. after ko bumili ng drop-in air filter nila last year, ni-register ko iyong product nila sa website nila sabay sagot ng online survey . as a sign of their appreciation, after a few months sumulat pa sila sa akin at nag-padala pa ng panibagong sticker. na-eentice tuloy ako bumili uli ng air filter nila para sa monty naman namin

hmm masubukan nga iyang simota na iyan, balak ko kase i upgrade exhaust system to include air filter intake. hindi kaya maka apekto yaan sa takbo gaya halimbawa pag mag arangkada odie kaya during shifting ng gear hindi kaya mabitin pag ganun yaan?

[johnjoseph]

High flow filters like K&N, Simota, etc, IMO, are not for daily driven cars. Sacrificed ang filtration, maganda lang sound pag accelerate pero very small ang gain. You have to get it very dirty for it to be efficient. Tama lang siya sa racing.

been using Simota Cone on my Honda Civic 99. Probably washed the cone 2x or 3x.. id like to have the filter replaced eventually. Can we buy a "generic" Cone with the same dimensions as Simota? Parang plug and play lang.. thanks

Question lang po about knn, meron na daw knn na made in thailand. May nakagamit na po ba sa inyo? Cheaper daw po ang price.

So made in china ang simota?
Hindi taiwan?

Nalilito ako kung ano original made ng simota eh.

Simotas are Made in Taiwan but in China, they can easily stamp a Simota mark.

I read an article comparing OEM filters with K&N filter . . .

K&N Air Filter Review - Debunking the Myths (and why OEM is better)

[boy astig]

For the last nine (9) years, I have stuck to using Simota open filter in my 97 hilander. Why? More grunt (power), greater FC (have to recalibrate fuel pump due to greater air intake. This dinosaur does not have a MAF sensor) and of course, a nice bass sound to the engine. How did I make the adaptor? Bought a cheap open filter intake assembly from Concorde (for a big body corolla), bolted it on the stock intake, made a bracket to minimize engine vibration on the tube and bolted on the Simota. Cleaned it twice a year with joy or axion and lubricated it with WD40 (read it in some forum here. Probably archived by now).

Will see if all of this was worth it once the engine gets overhauled. From what was posted here (and in the web as well), filtration and restrictiveness is a subjective issue. Would like to see it first hand once the engine gets opened up. Will keep you guys posted on this.

Stock airfilter lang ako. Napakaliit lamang ng difference sa performance ng sa K&N vs Stock. Kung di sinabing K&N ung gamit ng car, di mo malalaman may difference.

ramdam po sya sir, kasi yun friend ko stock air filter sa kanya sakin naka KNN tapos nagpakabit kami ng throttle controller then nagpalitan kme ng sasakyan nagtataka kami pareho same lang naman kami ng modz pero masmadali humataw yun sakin...

ang reason daw sabi ni master zix dahil sa racing filter ko which is KNN

HTH

[confused shoes]

^Yes, ramdam. Mas madali humataw. Napansin ko rin na bumaba ang rpm at above 80Kph. Using Simota. Di ko alam kung ano nangyari pero ang deprensya is about 500.

[johnjoseph]

I used K&N for a year sa Corolla GLi ko, 4afe engine, dahil nga sa high air flow niya, madalas dapat ang cleaning ng throttle valve, madaling mabarahan ng dust ang iscv, affected ang performance. Maayos gamit for 3-4 months, after that, maninibago ka na.

Anyway, ang OEM, in 4-5 months, change filter element na. Ang K&N, hindi mo pa gagalawin, habang dumudumi siya, gumaganda filtration, pero ang throttle valve, specifically, the iscv, you have to clean every 4 months.

Pro ng K&N, madalang maintenance, lifetime use but have to maintain a clean throttle valve (iscv).

Yeah, i know. I've had few K&Ns. Even those open filter K&Ns. But for me, in Metro Manila conditions, i'll stick with oem. Ang mga naka K&N nalang sa cars ko ay yung mga garage queens.

[frostmourn]

Share ko lang po. I noticed na may mga kulisap on our air box. Is it advisable to put screen on our suction pump? Mas lumakas po kasi higop ng hangin due to k&n air filter that we are using. We got those bugs during our night trip along nlex and sctex. OT po. Ang yabang ng fortuner. 140kph kami dinaanan lang kami. Halatang naka unichip. Lol.

[johnjoseph]

Ang air filter element ang last defense bago enter ang air sa intake, if you want to put a secondary defense, pwede put screen sa entrance ng hangin, doon sa scoop, wherever siya nakaharap, doon pumapasok ang mga unwanted debris nahihigop ng scoop.

Kung ayaw mo may kulusap sa filter element, taktak gently mo lang para maalis, then, reinstall the filter.

Question: Is it safe to have this installed in my car (Nissan LEC 1996)?
