I got the kit with a dinkly little air filter. I went to clean it and said this thing is way to small. I went to the store and found a K&N #1095 and it was 3 times bigger. It fits with the 45 degree plastic removed from the end and just putting the maf between the filter and the hard plastic tube. It fits like a glove and will give me all the air my car needs. I will try a data scan and see if there is any improvement from the old one.

 

Ya, Most people don't realize how important the airfilter is in forced induction. Not only size but location and cleanliness. If you can get cool air from up in front of the car it makes a big difference than if your sucking hot air from the engine compartment.

I clean my airfilter everytime I change the oil and It really wakes the car up.

 

Try a search on this topic, and you will find lots more info supporting this. Most guys have done away all together with the small air filter the Prochargers come with. At 10#'s of boost, mine was beggining to collapse, and after some research, I found I was not alone. I gained 3#'s of boost just by changing to a larger air filter. Altogether, after changing some plumbing and the air filter I ended up adding an additional 100 RWHP as proven in my dyno sheets with a total boost difference between the filter and the new plumbing from around 10#'s of boost to 15#'s of boost. Talk about an easy power adder!

 

Best air filter EVA!!!!!!!!!!

 

Can i use it to remove the pulp from my orange juice?

 

hey realquick,

a couple of my dsm buddies used to do that but i never personally trusted it, would you actually run that on the street

 

Alot of mustang guys run these. In all honesty, it depends on the location of the charger inlet. If it face the front of the car then I wouldnt, but it it faces toward the firewall (which makes projectiles difficult to shoot in, then yeah I would use it on the street for a street strip car. I wouldnt use it on something that will drive evryday all year though (daily driver).

 

I would use two with like a piece of pany hose stretched sandwitch'd inbetween them. I figure that would be plenty safe.

But I still have a big ole filter on my car

 

Definitley can overlap two screens pretty easy.

 

K&N Makes a filter sock that coupled with that screen would probably be a pretty nice combo. Real quick, do they make that screen in a size that would fit a D-1SC????

 

The problem with running a screen vs running an actual air filter such as K&N, is that the screen will only protect you from the biger objects such as sticks, leaves ect., which honestly you shouldn't really have to worry about that stuff anyways, and you might as well be running with no filter at all. Mostly what the filter is there to protect from is dust, dirt, fine pebbles, and things of that nature. I would warn to anyone thinking of using the screen that if you drive it on the street, your supercharger (or turbo) will not be protected from any of that stuff cycling in and running through your unit. If it is a track only car, this probably isn't that big of a deal as it would take a long while for much of anything to accumulate. However if it is street driven occasionally, or even on somewhat of a regular basis, I would never reccomend doing this as eventually enough of that stuff ran into your system is sure to give you problems.

 

That one I showed I made... 4" couplers/clamp and a screen cut to fit. What size is the inlet on a D1?

 

I didn't know if it would make any difference at my current boost but i just checked it out and suprised myself. I went back and my best run i ever recorded my air flow at was 296.0 on the origional filter. The new one, my first run i got 303.05 and then 323.41. I figured that was it but i got 328.78 and my last run was 331.78. I don't know why it keep climping after every run but the times were better each time. I noticed at the track i always ran my slowest race first and best last. Maybe the car like to get a few runs in before it ready.
