just have to ask, how do you guys get your air filter out, i haven't cleaned mine since i got it (like 10,000 miles). is there an easy way.
also my mass air flow sensor went out, my car was cutting out very bad when i would go pass 2500 rpms the car would stutter bad, very very bad and my check engine light came on. my friend who put the s/c in ran the codes that came up with the mass air flow sensor and two for fuel sensors, i don't know what they are. he said that it had to do with the air flow sensor and he reset the ecu and it ran perfect after that. has anyone had this problem?

 

Start here with the filter

Not had any codes (yet) so can't help there

 

I ordered a G35 filter for my Vortech Z (G35 filter is smaller) and trimmed the edges of the frame so I could sqeeze the filter in. I clean mine about every 6 weeks. I'll try to get pics up.

 

Ok ---This may be the way to go ---Ditch the stock filter, Run a length of 4 " Silicone hose bout 5 "s long off the S/C intake,90 degree with 3.5 Mandril bent stainless from Turbohoses (Item code pbss31290-312) Attach K/N Filter (RX4140) Then use K/N (62-1020)Vent filter.

Got any pics Eazzzzzzy?

 

Are you the guy who TEH215 was working with on a GB for this particular product? If so, please send me a PM about this. I am really interested in something like this as I am unable to remove my filter and its been about 9k milkes since the SC install.

 

I will get some pics --But remember ---although I may have figured it ----It Came From Kevin---Send E-Mails with addresses--Im a country boy --Dial up-Sorry ---The friken intake filter is awesme as is the other --So Cool ---Thanks Kev --I got a shop and getin into Asians ---Well mine !! but turboed another and am freakinin out over suspention Mods and what can be do with this REALLY cool car----Talk to me Guys--Im learnin too---I was a old school Hemi --Chev --Ford motor buildin guy ---I know numbers and what works---I think we can build some *** kickers out of these ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZsss---Talk to me-- I thrive on "JUST RIGHT"

 

Regarding the MAF--some folks have had a problem with oil from the K&N filter getting onto the filament. Cleaning the filament cured the problem. As your filter hasn't been cleaned, this probably isn't the cause. Also, this happened with cold air intake systems. I'm not sure about FI systems. However, when you do clean the filter, be careful not to massively over-oil it.

As a reminder, you've got to clean the blower oil nozzle every 3K--with each oil change. The narrow orifice in the nozzle has the potential to clog. That will cause instant bearing melt down in the blower. See the Vortech manual for details on this.
