[Discussion] Technical - Air Filter

[Dscheng]

Until the whole filter become red? Just go one time per line? I suppose.

[kennethy]

apply on the filter 'line by line' dun have to go through a few times... apply one time already just let the oil spread... it will cover then cover the whole filter slowly...

 

and dun over apply the oil...

After installing KNN filter, I went to dyno test at Loois motor. My CO level at high RPM of 9k was extremely low, when compare to other bigger fuel injection bikes. This means better combustion due to the higher air flow capacity of the filter - which translate to better fuel economy. This explains why my FC at high rpm of 9k & 5k is about the same. I compute my FC while coming down from NShighway at 160km/hr with a average rpm of 9k.

Should try PIPERCROSS...Starting to see this new filter.

[duckit]

KnN is about $70 plus

BMC is about $96 from product mass order section

How much is PiperCross

[poncho]

HKL selling $90

[poncho]

Maybe should check with the agent, MEZZO.

[duckit]

Seems like you like Mezzo lots ...= )

[poncho]

ya..what to do bought my bike from them and most of the parts..and happy with them.

[IvikaRazI]

Went to the website for Pipercross, did not see any CB400 SF models. Can fit meh? Any comments on this filter? Me changing air filter soon, but dunno which one is good and long lasting. How much?

[duckit]

Bro tot u order from R46 BMC alreadi ?

Tink BMC is good enuff already

[IvikaRazI]

Well the mess order seems like not moving leh...Needs 10 people before he starts his order. So if nothing by end of this month, I will remove my name from there.

[poncho]

Emailed to MEZZO today...They said that the PiperCross Filters just came released last month for CB400 but only for VTEC models.

[duckit]

So now we have more choices from aftermarket air-filter

KnN is about $70 plus

BMC is about $96

PiperCross $90

[IvikaRazI]

Then comes another question, how good is PiperCross?

 

I have yet to cancel the MO order for BMC. But if PiperCross Performance and Maintenance is the same or better than BMC, might as well get it.

pipercross accordingly to mezzo, have better air flow den knn and bmc. as in went with friend to install his full micron system. and andrew says pipercross will gif better performance den knn. and no need to do dyno. duno true not?

given that S4's airbox design, no matter how good the filter is, the air box is no good.

 

the air intake pod is just below the tank. air flow is somewhat restricted. n worst of all, it takes in hot air when riding. i'm sure most riders will have this experience that at night, or windy day, the engine is smoother compared to a hot sunny day.

 

if not of space constraint, i oso wanna make an open pod for my bike.

 

unless we can do something like the attached pic...

 

air flow is better n the air sucked in is not as hot therefore making the bike feels lighter n throttle response is oso better...

 

 

thats my personal view of air filters...

[biting_point]

tried mine with k&n and pipercross.. mine's on full..

 

felt a big difference once pipercross is installed..

 

anyway, PC ones are foam based, not paper based like k&n or BMC..

 

k&n filters after washing, cant use airgun to blow dry.. will spoilt the filter.. my friend's k&n waited almost 2 days to fully dry, then he oiled it..

that alternative is good.. very good trottle response from the "open" filter..

nice sound too..

 

but fuel consumption will greatly increase..

[IvikaRazI]

Just wondering, where can I get PiperCross Air Filter? Is it only available at HKL? Any other shops preferably in the east selling this brand?

[biting_point]

Try Mezzo at Geylang Lor 25..

They are the dealers..

not necessary high FC. good throttle response from the open pod is clean n cool air going into the combustion chamber so that makes the good throttle response. high FC is humans like us. once the throttle response is good, ur right wrist keeps on openning the throttle so FC is high lor. cos shoik wat.

 

 

btw, how much u got for the pipercross??
