ah bro... i got some pics here on the cleaning of throttlebody.

 

have a look.

 

expert, organize cleaning of trottle session leh... lolx~!!!me no expert la. that time we had one at CCK park there. did you attend ?

 

so next one is TB and MAF cleaning session. any takers ? need to feel the ground first...

 

oh.. tat time i was also there wor... i know where.. chua chu kang there lorz... lolx~!

[Cyberet]

dunno le, but my car already pass 160k km.

 

Ooohh.....Ok. Mine only 90K. Since spoilt liao, might as well remove it.

 

remove liaoz cannot pass inspection right? i got one coming up end of the year

[Rk98]

Nothing can compare to steel filter in terms of filtering becos there are pratically non for micro object. Mazdaspeed filter is made up of sponge which are oiled...flow is gd but can't compare to steel ones. The last time i use always got idling problem due to MAF and trottlebody dirty.

 

If filtering micro particle is not your priority then stick to yours.

 

I'm using Apexi open pod and is getting dirty liao. Will be getting another new one from Speedworks. Then I will try to wash my old filter. See whether can be reused.

 

Anyone tried washing the Apexi open pod before?

 

mi lorz... i very simply one.. use powder soap and water and like tat wash lorz... just rinse... then ok liaoz... no worries... i did this under supervision of a Mazda mechanic & high profile of Mazda motor manager...

[Rk98]

ar?? remove wad?

[Cyberet]

Ya, in term of filtration, it will fails big time but i'll make an effort to change my oil regularly & clean up the map & throttlebody regularly too.

 

U can wash your apexi open-pod just like k&n type lor. Flush the open-pod from inside-out, leave it dry & then apply k&n oil lor.

 

now i'm wondering, i've been using K&N filter for 100k km liaoz, dunno did it contribute to the early cat failure (clog with dirt?), or the long engine idles that the car went thru in the beginning year

Can wash and leave it dry one. After tat apply K&N oil on it.

 

I got no K&N oil leh. Can use cooking oil bo?

 

Don't think I will oil the filter. Afraid that it will affect the MAF sensor.

 

mi never use any oil leh.. wash finish thn wash dry.. after that put it back lorz...
