cone filter on diesel pickup

toyoman · Postby **toyoman** » September 18th, 2006, 11:20 am

would it be advisable to use a K&N cone filter on a turbo diesel pickup?
would that filter keep all the dust out the engine and would it make a difference with the performance of the van?

Advisable... yes

the cone filter might make too much of a "whistling" sound... i used one in a frontier already and i took it out after 1 day, it was quite annoying. now i have a drop-in K&N and it works fine

acceleration, fuel economy, better response.... better than stock.

i clean the filter every 18-20,000... i should do it more often though. it does be black. when yuh clean and oil it and put it back in, it does pull real nice.

why yuh askin me where i got it when u know who sellin it? :lol:

yes... sheriff's

Yeah ive put a few of these in turbo diesels for friends, the issue is you can feel alot of improvement but they get dirty fast, because of the huge amount of air diesels consume, so you feel the improvement go away as it gets dirty more often than the gas engines.
Regardless of what kind of filter you use, stock or aftermarket or panel or cone, the fact is the air filters require frequent service.

i have one in my frontier and i love it to me it sounds great

did anybody ever open up there exhaust i was thinkin to put a 3 1/2in from the turbo back. i should get more power

pothole, Too SMALL exhaust will Reduce power, and too LARGE Exhaust will also reduce power :wink:

^^^^^^agreed^^^^^^^ but pothole what engine you got yd25 or zd30 if is a zd30 a front mounted intercooler might be a good idea then you can raise the boost the only concern is that the engine light will trip on and you might have to run a piggyback ecu to fool the intake sensor so that the brain doesn't go into failsafe....... :!:

pothole · Postby **pothole** » July 29th, 2007, 4:21 pm

i got the 3.0 zd30. the exhaust is really restrictive it has a 90` elbow comin out of the turbo i wanted to change that

sti-hybrid · Postby **sti-hybrid** » July 29th, 2007, 6:20 pm

it appers to be 90' but it has what you call a mandrill bend so it is suppose to be free flowin already ;NISSAN wouldn't create a restrication there :!:

anyone knows if they will have for the Rangers?

madcoolieboy · Postby **madcoolieboy** » August 20th, 2007, 12:05 pm

yeah the cone filters work on the vans. i had one on my l200. they improve performance slightly...however your engine becomes louder due to the abscence of the filter box.. and if you're boosting, you'll hear the turbocharger whistle while it's spooling

Yo i want one for my 2.5t hilux..where can i get one and any idea on pricing ppl?, want one asap...thanx

TEKNET have toyota and ranger drop-in k&n filters...call them 625-8638...

I am using a stainless steel filter in my car presently

better response that the K&N

these are very easy to clean, can take pressure washing and need no re-oiling

so it will be a lot better for a diesel

also quieter than K&N

Arospeed

Qwkwhip has - $300.00

what do you guys think?

*Phoenix* · Postby ***Phoenix*** » September 20th, 2007, 8:03 am

no re-oiling... so how does it work?
post some pics with it installed V.

Stuckindmud · Postby **Stuckindmud** » September 20th, 2007, 2:30 pm

^^ yeah, post some pics,
That sound like the filter you use on a range hood. No offense eh Venum , if it wuking i might consider it too .

pics posted fellas

madcoolieboy · Postby **madcoolieboy** » October 22nd, 2007, 8:38 pm

another thing that needs to be noted....diesel and turbo diesel engines suck alot more air than gas engines hence why vans have large cylinder shaped filters and not little box filters etc....therefore if you running aftermarket filters....k&n arospeed..weapon R etc...note that they'll have to be cleaned frequently to preserve performance...that stainless steel filter looking nice though...LOL
