Re: [DML] Upgrading the Air Filter?




Hi All

I used my car to experiment with the UK-spec version of the B28 engine, 
changing the dizzy and metering head and re-plumbing the CPR vacuum feed.

Some time ago I fitted a cat bypass to my car and at the time, that gave 
a noticable improvement. I was still outrun on the motorway by a friend 
with a stock catted system.

However, now with the suro-spec upgrade, I can spin the wheels on a dry 
road, although my clutch is now suffering! My "seat of the pants" 
evaluation at the time after fitting the bits involved some expletives!

I still run a stock air filter and box. I just make sure to change the 
filter every 6000 miles.
