Cold Air

[chazzone]

Are you still carrying grief from the fact that I pointed out you had no idea what you were talking about in another thread?
Show me the numbers mr zz, or stfu.
This study is about airflow numbers and filtration...not about a filter improving HP. Please...please..read.
And realize that I've built more engines than you have hairs on your ass and have never found air filter brand to matter at ALL in performance. For filtration or flow numbers...that may be a different story. But saying that brand X yields more HP than brand Y, especially in an even mildly built motor, is complete BS.
And you come tell me that after selling a 4.0 with over 200K on the clock that STP's will kill the engine.

You know that I'm not impressed with your bullshit. You can go lie to who you want or make up what ever makes you feel important, but it doesn't mean anything to me.

The point of the test is that there's not a real difference in any of the filters tested. Since you obviously had not read them it was clear that your response was out of your ass, just like everything else you post.

Get this son, little boys and their games don't impress me or much of anyone else, so take it outside. I know real mechanics who build real engines for everything from NASCAR, F-1, and INDY. Even worked with John Barnes on Kevin Cogan's car when he was a rookie at Indy, but that was before you were born, and none of those guys were as big a jerk as you.

first as a general if your motor is not breathing right getting more air will give you more horse power but only because your maf will tell your comp to give more fuel. just like when your motor is more peppy when its 55 degrees vers 100 degrees thats a fact.

now im still learning the specs on the ranger. but if your already getting cold air intake and your not getting a negative vacuum in your intake manifold (which you should not be at full tilt) then the filter make no difference.

second if your buying for quality then yes i would go with fram or kandn over walmart, anyday its prolly out of some peoples relm but its suck having to get wet paper filter chucks out of a supercharger.

now my question and sorry for the hijack,

i have an 06 an im really to lazy/busy to check but am i getting cold air from the out side, cause i was planning to get a kandn and repipe my air intake and probly have the filter right below the head light or a lil lower depending on how well it will protected from out side elements.
mainly because i can and it will be nice and shiny when im done. pros and cons anybody

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

fram IS the walmart brand and it is not quality.

and yes all rangers came from the factory with a cold air intake.

 

[4x4fun]

fram IS the walmart brand and it is not quality.

fram is sold in walmart not the three filters for 99 cents $h!t

but to each his own i dont like fram personally i like Kand N but they have never let me down. but who am i buy what you like and like what you buy

fram = shit

This guy actually studied something.

I have always used Fram filters. Never had problems with them. As long as the filter does what it's name suggests, it doesn't matter. The air box in my F150, for example, will fill up with bugs, dirt, leaves, etc, but NONE of it passes the filter and the intake is always clean. That is what matters IMO.

Now I do have a K&N on my '88 Ranger.....it's a cone one on the end of the TB. I only got it because I like the extra room that removing the stock air box provides.

 

[rickcdewitt]

It depends on what you want. I dont like KN because it let water through really easy and I hydrolocked my motor. Paper filters are better at stopping water.........

yeah but then you need to pull it out until it dries....only reason i still run a k&n. though with a snorkle the need is less extreme now

i've been thinking about the aem dry flow,but i don't know how it flows wet.

Wow. I had no idea that the cold air system was stock. Very interesting. Thanks so much.

Cold air intakes have been standard on just about everything for 30 years.

now, i am about to go completely off topic, but the very tip of the piece that keeps the console part of the armrest locked, broke off. I have tried using crazy glue, gorilla glue, and other various products to keep it attached, but none so far have worked. What other methods could be used to re-attach this piece? If none other are available, where on the internet may I find one for a fairly reasonable price?

I love going to Jiffy Lube, they always offered to change my air filter for me, $20 for the filter, $69.99 installation fee.

first let me start by telling YOU, i don't care how many motors you built or how much hair you got on your ass. just like with anything in life, size matters, and also how much air a filter flows is important too, some motors require/demand more than others and on a computer controlled motor, that means everything. now with this theory of operation in mind, if more air/fuel delivery means more HP and filter X flows more than filter Y, then we can safely assume that filter X will yield greater gains HP wise than filter Y. so put that hypothesis in your pipe and smoke it. and FWIW i helped my grandad tear down a flathead chevy before you spit out your first baby tooth.

as for you -zz, you're not mister all knowing here either, for one thing anybody can spout names and say they worked with them or what ever, myself, i could give two squirts of piss less who you know. if i ask you for info and you give me the goods, cool, but so far all i've seen out of you are derogetory remarks and worthless statements with nothing to back it up. FWIW, if you want to classify me on your growing list of jerks and dicks, that is fine also, but remember to get it straight, MR JERK or MR DICK to you . and now to the OP'S question, i believe that like anything else, if your vehicle manufacturer puts something out [ like motorcraft oil/sparkplugs/airfilters] then you should try them first, it is my opinion that those items were specifically engineered for that vehicle

Every post I've seen from you lately has been following someone around and bashing them?

If there have been tests done on the filters, post them up. Doesn't do much good calling someone out and then not showing proof of your argument.

I have had this happen twice, last time was about 4 years ago, I used JB Weld and it has been holding strong since.

Hmm, I wonder if all those mechanics you know hang out with all those scientists you know.

Sorry, you got zero credibility on the name dropping. It's curious you'll try to do it in more than one vastly different topic, with the same argument....
