i have a hks air filter ... it is one of them high flow ones which makes a nice sound when the air is suckin in .. it has this green spongy material inside ... i was wondering what chemicals i need to use to clean it ... and how to actually clean it ... i don't know when it was cleaned last ... my friend says that my engine will be running dirty because its high flow and because of the actual material ... is this good for the engine??

thanks

Ok dont tell anyone......

U can clean them was it with soapy water.......they are a wet type filter which needs to be wetted with an oil which u can get from rev racegear or the like. If u clean then no oil ur engine wont like it ie cold gravel intake :)

U are supposed to replace them as G0DF4Th3R says around 20k but if the material is in good nick u can clean n re oil

hmmm ... so how much do one of them apexi ones cost?? are they noisy?? i seem to like the sound that the hks one gives me ... i can really hear the high pitch sound sucking in ... so i like it ... since the hks one causes the engine to run dirty ... how does that affect performance and engine condition??

thanks for that great link!! .. i hope to see u guys on a cruise sometime :D

I think The Apexi Power Intakes are a bit cheaper and they are also much quieter compared to HKS.

GTR-80Y Bad move! If there is no seal between the filter and air tract it defeats the purpose of having an air filter...Even the smallest bit!

It Seems that the grainer filters need the oiling your hks filter for standard airbox may be a dry one but you should search the web to be 1000% sure!

hi,

its ron here.

for the HKS filter, which i do have.

the best way to clean is with degreaser. do a couple of times orso

then leave til dry. oil it with air filter oil, can be found at motor shops.

these filter are pretty much the best on the market so you dont need to replace them.

i dont oil mine and found that topend power is greater, also build a cold air box for best results. and if you have a front mount, feed the air through the hole where the old pipe goes.

hope this is useful

regards

ron

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
