rickya Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 ps has anyone found that their traction control is kicking off more often since fitting an air intake. I have found this definetley since I fitted mine, especially in 1st & 2nd gear, usually while pulling off after taking tight turns?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 SERVICING YOUR POP-CHARGER FILTER ELEMENT: 1. Remove the element from the POP-Charger aluminum venturi and shake out any loose dirt. 2. Spray the element liberally with a water based cleaner like 409, Simple Green, or laundry detergent mixed with warm water. Basically any cleaner that could be used to remove grease from a cotton tee shirt without damaging it. 3. Rinse the element with low pressure (IE. open ended garden hose slightly opened) water from the inside outward. 4. Dry the element by shaking or swinging it to remove the majority of water and allowing it to final dry naturally. No heat or compressed air! 5. Spray an even coat of gauze air filter oil (most motorcycle, performance shops or Jim Wolf Technology, inc.) lengthwise along each pleat. Wait a few minutes and touch up any thin or missed pleats. 6. Service intervals depend on the driving environment. Intervals can be up to 50,000 miles or as short as one day for off-road events. Generally the element can look pretty dirty and still be working at a high efficiency since new particles continue to stick to the previously trapped particles. If you are not sure, remove the element and shine a light from the inside. If you can’t see the light from the outside or it is dim, it’s time for service. Use caution when cleaning or servicing car batteries located near the filter, as battery acid residue will eat holes in the element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15MNO-Daron Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I heard from performance centres that putting any oil based cleaner on the filter is bad idea.. and just use soapy water to clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunGodRA Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I cleaned mine last night - used laundry detergent (I mixed a Daz tablet in warm water) and sprayed it on and left for 5 mins then rinsed - i was amazed how much crap came out!!

sinbad Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I heard from performance centres that putting any oil based cleaner on the filter is bad idea.. and just use soapy water to clean it. If its the cotton gauze type filter like K&N and JWT popcharger. Then they are pre-oiled already. when you clean them especially with detergents the oil needs to be re-applied. The K&N cleaning kit comes with the oil designed especially for the air filter. I wouldnt recomend spraying oil onto the paper type that come standard with most cars.

GIXXERUK Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 if the manufacturers use oil then i would say "use oil" without it i would imagine the filter would dry out and crumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 you have to re-apply oil as thats what stops the muck paticals from entering the inlet manifold but whats best oil to use as you'll struggle to get JWT oil and it aint cheap whats next best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The K&N stuff can be used as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunGodRA Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Oh yeah, that was me!!! Sorry mate ps Iv also now discovered I get about 10 to 20 less miles from a full tank with the pop charger fitted That cos you drive faster to hear the popcharger Fitted mine Sunday - piece of cake to fit providing you follow instructions - took less than an hour. Throttle a lot more responsive now and does seem quicker. Noticeable difference in noise at about 4k rpm - there is a real throaty RAW. I have noticed I am always changing gear at high revs now to hear it LOL so I guess my fuel consumption will drop as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
