New Air Flow System

[Newbi]

Ok dudes.... Here is a question from clueless me......Would removing the original air filter, the filter box and putting in a K&N Filter along with the heat shield and everything that requires it to connect to the motor cause it to do well on fuel..... Will it have an effect on the life of the Air Flow sensor…The car being Nissan and all ……......don’t ask me why this change has to be done on a N16......cause I know some modifications are not meant to be done on some cars…its just immoral…and some may call it unethical….

Cheers

dont be so serious dude..

No you will not have any problems with you A/F sensor.. but you could have a problem if your going in for a cone filter as the A/F may not fit the the after market piping.. and on newer Nissans that means that the car wont start..

Hi,

Nope go for it, it is one of the easiest and safest things you can do to get a bit more zip in your car. Just make sure you keep the stock stuff so that in case you want to sell it you have the option of switching it back to stock. Make sure that the piping is done right so go and meet Anura at Tokimo's next to Japan Lanka in Delkanda he'll do it for you. The K&N with heatshield has a 3" inlet. So the initial piping that connects to it has to be 3" diameter, then it needs to reduce down to two inches where it connects to the MAF (Airflow sensor), you need to only redirect it upto the MAF as the balance piping is fine which leads to the throttle body. to connect the MAF to the fabricated piping get a silicon connector with stainless steel T-clamps. Also make sure that there are allowances, as in hole drilled for the Intake Air Temp (IAT) sensor and whatever other sensors or vacuum hoses are attached after the MAF, the IAT needs to attach to the pipe just after the Cone filter. Get the cone filter directed as close to you fender wall as possible, the colder the air the better.

G'luck

dude.. sometime back I used to talk just like you.... I were never a honda fan either.. heck I didnt even care for honda's even when I see it on the road... I used to love California's, Carinas ( used to be one of my fav. ) and mazda's until one day one of my friends in office got a honda... it's so funny come to think of it how I changed in to Honda's... I mean talking about just the ordinary average car... honda comes first for me... and bro.. dont believe me ask someone else... the N16 sucks big time..

No Machang its like this, there is a friend of mine who ownes a Honda HRV, he is a Honda freak too. And he likes this girl in the town who we named a nickname as "Mackha". During school we used to nickname this girl as "Mackha"..So I tought that phrase from Newbi was very familier

Well if done right you can expect 0-5 more horses at the flywheel, also your N16 doesn't suck it just come highly detuned, if given the proper care and right mods it can be made to haul ass. As for your Verossa it has a cover which can be removed to get to the goodies underneath, afterwards you can replace the cover and no one will be wiser to the mods laying beneath. Don't be intimiated by high heat resistant PTFEs (ie plastic)
