My turn. 1995 Montero SR build thread...

After watching his zuk build, i would say its probably not done yet. A pre filter works wonders for dust as well!

Mike

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of getting a K&N to begin with?

 

[shmabs]

The pre-filters help to screen out dust and fine particulate before it can embed itself in the oiled filter, sort of a safety measure. Back when i lived where there were some big dunes, everyone had them on their bikes/quads/buggies, and that's how it was explained to me. If i lived in a dusty/sandy place it would be a must have with any "open element" style filter.

As far as i'm concerned the purpose behind a k&n is increased airflow, increased filtering capability and its reusable. I believe one of those....

I know that, but adding a precleaner to a high performance filter would(by all reasoning) defeat the purpose of said filter because of the added filtering. Might as well just stick with a standard filter. Probably get better flow that way too. Just my 2 measly cents.

JUST TO BRING THE POINT ACROSS- I know that running it without a precleaner off-road would be bad. That's why I said running it with on one defeat the purpose of having this K&N filter. He may have well left it stock. Picking up what I'm putting down?

Well depends if you are worried about ingesting dirt and reducing the life of your engine off road. If this is a street vehicle then I say go for it. If it's for off road... well prepare to enjoy rebuilding engines more frequently.

In a nut shell....my boys bought it for me for Christmas so I will run it in the wet season. I'm curious too see a mileage improvement that's all.:bigbossHL:

 

[Cleand]

Or just run the pre-filter on the trail and take it off on the street. Best of both worlds.

and putting the monty to work

Building my cigar smoking porch...

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Ahah. I need to change the bulb in mine as well. I'm assuming that the bulb should be available locally at any parts store aye?

Dealer only as far as I know. 3.50 or so.

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Could you tell anything special about it? Regardless I'm going to check with local parts stores first, as we do not have a local Mitsu dealer.

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

And is it just me or does your oil pressure look high?

 

[jluck]

It's a strange looking little thing with a built in base.

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Stupid Mitsu.. why can't they do anything the easy way? Definitely looks like a dealer only item...

 

[Silverwulf]

And is it just me or does your oil pressure look high?

I thought the same thing!

And, yes the bulb is dealer only.

 

[jluck]

It is a fairly new engine and it was cold other than that IDK....
