RainbowRoo Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I am planning on getting a stock K & N filter, and was wondering about sticking some holes in the air cleaner cover, and then maybe a small hood scoop. Have any of you ever done this and or have a opinion? Not really interested in putting on a weber. My goal is a a little better preformance.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 The K&N will help, the holes in the filter cover will help, but a scoop would do almost nothing. Would look cool tho. I cut a huge chunk out of the side of my filter lid on my carbbed EA81. I noticed a small difference. The weber is the best way to go. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 so drillin holes in your filter lid will help give some power? i assume not very much but i think i will do this. is there a special place you drill the holes or does it matter? i dont have enough money to buy a weber.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Drill it on the outside edge of the lid. That way the filter is still sealed. You wouldnt want to drill holes in the center of the lid, cause that way unfiltered air would be able to enter the carb. If you dont want to buy a weber, you can do a 2bbl mod to the 2bbl hitachi's. I did it, and i think i have a write-up somewhere on it. -Brian p.s. FOUND IT!

muellerdeal Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 i dont have a k&n but i have a hood scoop itdosnt really do much for ram-air effect, but it dose work as a cold air intake. i used 4" drier hose to duct it in and cut out the back side of the can and yes i put lights under there to matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 thanks brian. i think i might do that in the future.o and i went and drilled some holes in the cover. i did what you said(on the outside edge). well to bad i cant take her for a spin yet. is there any other cheap mods to do to gain performance????
