Air Filter Clean
hey all, today i cleaned the air filter on my 98 civic hatchback and it was
pretty dirty, i havent cleaned it for more than a year. i reved the car abit and i swear it sounded like a different car, it sounded alot stronger, i drove it abit and could feel it was going better too. this is a normal cheapo air filter, which is why i was thinking of getting a KnN Air Filter. Do u think it will let more air into the motor? what are the benefits of getting it? and how much would it cost in Australian Dollars? thnx heaps people and Merry Christmas! Sandro |

You need the air for the combustion, and a clean air filter will allow more air and also give you a leaner burn for better milage. |

Re: Air Filter Clean
or, you could just run with no filter at all. of course, i clean the oil in
my car and maintain it quite regurarly, so i dont recommend this unless you do your own matinence. quite a boost on my 2k daewoo with no filter as opposed to a k&n filter. ever seen a daewoo do the 1/4th in under 15 seconds? kinda ammusing :D -- Be sure to check out my site @ Http://www.the-c0re.tk. updated daily sometimes, new pix of the tanks and cats all the time. check it out!!! |

And just watch your engine wear itself out in 30,000km or less. ''Agent Smith", you need to read a book or two on basic mechanics. Air filters are there for a reason, which is to keep the dust and grit out of the cylinders, while delivering just air. Stewart DIBBS |

And, if you live ina n area where dust and grit is low, and where humidity is not high (such as say, the UK) then your opint is moot. In the UK I've had volvo mechanics reccomend I remove the air filter, as its robbing power (and that engine's done over 150,000 miles, the last 70 of it without an air filter, and no problems. However, here in Georgia, I have to run a fine air-filter, because the air is so dusty (its so dry here that all the grass has turned brown, and I was FORCED to run my civics AC when last-minute shopping yesterday), especially as its the rural part. Its so rural out here, I'm considering jacking UP the civic, so it won't ground out so much. > > Stewart DIBBS > > |
