There is nothing wrong with the DMC air intake box or filter.
Based on the information provided to me the K&N filter company doesn't
currently offer a filter for the DeLorean. The instructions for installation
of a K&N filter for another car, utilized for the DMC, is to install the
filter upside down.
Does this upside down installation deviate from the intended purpose of
filtering out the air in the intended sequence?
In addition, I had the K&N filter set up professionally installed on my Jet
Ski's, then removed. (K&N makes marine applications, etc.) The amount of
water that passed through the filter down into the head caused the motor to
experience "water lock." The engine replacement was not covered under
warranty. $,$$$.00
After doing some research the filter does improve the airflow, not
substantially but minimally. No...I didn't submerge my Jet Ski underwater
etc. The K&N allows too much dirt, water, etc., to pass through. There are
many testimonials on the Internet about the negative attributes of the filter.
The only suggestion that I have is if you are using the Renault air filter in
the DMC airbox is to replace it with another brand other than the K&N.
Sincerely,
