K&N filter

[yank]

Anyone run a K&N filter that sits on top of the carb? Thinkin about it.

I did...its slightly louder...i started a thread with the part number a few months ago, just do a search and it is there.

I have one. came on another rover i have. Put it on my 109 and was louder as said before, i liked it. It also gave me a little extra pep on the sand which was nice. I think it looks pretty neat too.

Put one up to the light and you can see why they breath better. Speed holes [Homer Simpson]. I would not want that to filter my air. That's just me. Do what you want.

Keep them oiled, which is not a big deal at all and they breath well and work great. Go for it.

Yank - what carb are you running? I ask because it may not fit your carb if its not a weber 34ich. If its not, measure the diameter of the top hole, go to the K&N site, find one that works, write down the part number and take it to your favorite big box auto store and they can order it for you.

You can see my K&N in photos on this carb thread.

Me too. I held one up to the lights in my garage once. When it came down it went directly into the trash. Oiled or not, holes are holes. K&N claims their filter works better the dirtier it gets - probably because the dirt/dust plugs up the big holes.

To the OP:
You may want to consider other options such as the AEM Brute Force Dryflow filter. http://www.aemintakes.com/dryflow_air_filters.htm
I used one in place of my oil bath, but I went a slightly different route:

albersj, I am runnung the weber.
I read the jetting mite have to be changed. I wanted to know if this was true.

jac04, This looks like a good setup. Is the rubber hose stock?

Yes, it is the original rubber hose.

UPDATE, So I went with the K&N RU-0690.

"Right on!, though I don't think it's as good as the original oil bath air filter system," says the guy with a 91 Toyota Corolla air filtration system hooked up to his 2.5 diesel...

No need to worry about oiling a K&N on a Rover. There's usually enough oil vapor under the hood to do it automatically!
