Re: K n N air filter question
Guest 13 April 2005 16:56:57
	My 89 780 turbo has a foam filter inside the box, is this supposed to be washable, and should it be oiled after washing? Looks like the original filter, this car has over 170k miles on it, and a broken odometer, so real mileage is not known. Would it be feasible/adviseable to replace with one of the aftermarket filters like the K&N mentioned? I am not concerned about more noise, and performance increase would be a plus for this car. Just wondered if I should investigate upgrading to one of these higher flow units or stick to the original.

By foam, are you talking about a thin piece that appears to be glued to the lid? If so, that's just there to eliminate a whoosh sound. If the actual element is foam, then its care depend on who makes it and what they recommend. -- Mike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont.

	The foam piece I'm talking about is in the lower half of the air box, probably about 4 inches thick, held in by a metal frame that wedges against the interior of the box. Although it was fairly clean, it looks to be the original. Wondered if I should convert it before the foam disntegrates...

I'd forgotten about it as it doesn't usually give problems, and it's below the air filter, so if it breaks up, it doesn't clog the air mass meter screen like the piece on the lid. With the airbox lid off, the air filter should hide this from view until removed - is it possible there's no air filter at all in your car? -- Mike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont.

	Mike, that's what it looks like. I thought there was a large area of unused space here inside the airbox, that's why. Since my old 76 turbo did not have the foam addition, I thought this one was the air filter, but apparently not. Looks like the foam was all this had for filtration. I better get one in there now, or convert; don't want that dirty air getting into this thing. Thanks for the observation!

If you use a K&N filter be sure to follow the oiling instructions exactly. Excessive oiling of the filter will insure that fine oil particles will deposit on the hot wire/foil for the air mass meter and cause premature failure. Bob
