Super7 Turbocharged February 23, 2003 Share February 23, 2003 (edited) i have just switched to a drop-in sponge type HKS airfilter for my Airtrek...... mechanic told me actually sponge no doubt gives good air flow into the engine, but may not be suitable for road use...... he only uses it for track and replace with new one after every track session??? ...... also heard if the sponge elements break up and get blown into the engine, the sensors may be covered by it and mulfunction.... true or not???? Any advice will be much appreciated....... Thanks Edited February 23, 2003 by Super7 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueice Neutral Newbie February 24, 2003 Share February 24, 2003 also heard that the hks sponge does not filtrate as much as a k&n. as for k&n, make sure the oil on the meterial does not coat your air mass sensor. heard some bad stories about it. it screws with the fuel mapping.

Gadgeter 2nd Gear February 24, 2003 Share February 24, 2003 Seems like everyone is getting K&N from there. Ask johnny whether can he bargain for discount for MCF folks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
