DAM thats expensive i wont bother for that sorta wonga m8,..........

the maf has a sensor inside it oiled filters may leak a wee bit of the oil on the sensor there for f*****g the maf right up.......u want a dry filter one m8

 

[donovan2123]

lol didnt pay that amount payed £60 for it. How will i kno if this is a oil filter? will it def drip on maf even thou i was going to locate filter away from engine and have a pipe going from filter to engine?? i wantd to locat filter to a source where it can get alot of cold air easily with out the filter gettin wet when it rains???

 

[p34ch3y]

pipercross are oiled not very heavy tho n you should be ok

but if u wanna mke sure wash it with the cleaner n leave it,dun put any oil on.

a quick tip if u dun want your filter to get wet you can get like a realy realy fine mesh bag from k&n that slips over your filter,,,get one of those n spray a realy fine amount a silicone spray over the k&n bag to repell the water

 

[donovan2123]

Where do i find this mesh and silicone spray???

 

[p34ch3y]

i think halfords should be able to get it for you

Oiled Filters affect the MAF.

Where's the MAF on a 1.4?

No need for it as it'll 'know' the airflow by MAP

 

[donovan2123]

meaning i wont have to worrie bought piper cross oil filter wont affect maf cause there isnt a maf????

Anyways help needed for above stuff

 

[donovan2123]

so what is the oil called?? the best 1??? also how much do i need??????

what brake pads do i need??? and have i missed anything of the list from above

 

[m0rk]

Not sure what upgraded pads there are for the 1.4 now - but you will need them.

the 239mm discs get hot so fast - they're verging on dangerous

 

[donovan2123]

what these disks:

what oil do i need???

 

[davecash]

Is there a need for loads of cold air feeds on a 1.4.

There's more than likely going to be no performance benefit / deficit no matter where the filter is located.

I'm not opposing the mod, as it will probably give a nicer sound.

 

[donovan2123]

does any of you kno which is the best oil to get??

 

[donovan2123]

pipercross garrentue a increase in acceleration not alot like half a second but still thats something they tested this item with a saxo 1.6 and that gained like 2/3bhp

I think the question asked was answered.
