From what i have searched for i cant seem to find places that stock replacement foam..but try google or some online preformance sites. With cleaning the rush 02 pod since as far as i know they dont come pre-oiled like some other pods on the market. You should be able to clean it with some kind of Degreaser or a light detergent with some got water but make sure u rinse it well. After that it should be fine like brand new.

I have an o2 Rush race pod on mine. As RedLineGTR said, just take the foam filter off and wash it bucket of water with a light detergent. After giving it a good wash, rinse very thoroughly under the tap and let to dry. I usually put mine near a fan to speed up the process a bit, don't use heat as you may damage the foam. Then 'lightly' re oil using a suitable air filter oil such as K&N or unifilter, they come in an spray can. Don't over oil, if you do you will have lots of problems with your AFM. Should be as good as new when finished. Can't stress enough though, don't over oil.

They are an oiled filter, they recommend using the finerfilter 'supertacky fluid' but I have never been able to get a hold of it, and was told recently that the finerfilter name had been taken over by unifilter. I use the K&N one and I have never had any problems.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
