K&N air filters
 

The latest mod, and the only engine/performance mod
is the new K&N air filter. The filter is oiled and you never have to change it. Only clean. I also noticed a little bit more of power from the engine. What do you guys thing? any body installed on of these on the engine? Thanks in Advance!
:D

yes they are very good, but why dont you go ahead and put on a whole new intake, that will give you even more....

good suggestion
however
1. too expensive and does not produce much power
2. I have a 1.6 LX 2000 auto transmission

So as you can see the $$$ vs. the horse power is not worth it

so you finally dropped in a k&n filter huh? :D

sounds nice eh? :)

auto stick wouldnt matter, reason i went with shiftronics auto is because i drive downtown and the other is im goin to turbo and my spool will be up all the time so i will be the faster dragger. but the intake will make a noticeable difference. also more growl. 150 bucks isnt much. or just do an engine swap.. hehe.

sounds and feels nice
I just redlined the engine half an hr ago
that was the best it has been in a while
thanks for the recommendation

by the way
how many ponies do you think it adds ?

my butt dyno can't tell, but my guesstimate maybe 1-2hp, and maybe 3 on a good day lol.

who knows! enjoy! :D :D :D

for that price, I wouldn't mind, however, the 1.6L runs for about 240 dollars, alot of money for my standards(college student+looking for a job) but don't get me wrong, I would put it in a sec 'cause I want to increase the power of my car. Engine swap...Hmmm... I would take a V6 turbo charged or 8 Cylinder. (You could tell now, i don't car about fuel economy):D :D

well im working on putting a 460 with a dual tunnel ram and tubbing out the back of the p5 and making it RWD. I am looking for a DD right now. I have to get my 2 rock crawling jeeps finished though for comp this year. then we start on project "damn thats a fast p5" lol :D

I have an LS1 sitting at home to, and a 302 and 351 and amc 4.2 and 4.0... I know I know, its sad.

I didn't Understand a thing you said
but.. I do get the impression that your P5
will be a phat and sweet ride...I wish I could join
in helping you and I would like to see what is the end
result for the car.

I agree, that will be a fast P5!!

faster than a crown vic???:eek: :D

well my dads running a 500 with out the intake setup its about 750 street or 1100 for drag in HP. I am goin to be doin good enough to make the 460 fit with the bds blower. I hope to run about 700 Horse Power. Sad though that the motor is half of what i gave for the car. But if you want to be fast you pay the money.

and yes much faster!:D

talk about different perspectives lol



one is talking about drop-in air filter

the other is talking about dropping in a 460 and convert to RWD



man you gotta love the internet! :D :D :D

IMO I would have taken out the air box crap and stuck a K&N cone filter on the end of your intake and called it good.

I've actually seen a dyno test of a *here comes the bad word again* stock FOCUS that gained 7fwhp by nothing more than a K&N cone filter! We ended up selling the guy our extra filter for 20 bucks because he was so elated! :D

Except for the Intake air temparature sensor that would have to relocated and modified, and the fact that your sucking hot air right off the engine....
