K&N Panel Filter

Azza SP20 · 14-11-2005, 01:31 PM

Hi Guys

I was wondering what sort of a difference a replacement K&N Panel filter will make to my SP20? What sort of differences will there be and how will i notice them??

mine was just smoother...others have seen a 3-4hp increase or summin

goldsp · 14-11-2005, 07:34 PM

dont expect miracles. they are better , but you wont notice the difference

1.8L dyno proven to yield 2.4kW gain at the wheels.

i noticed a bitter better response down low in my BG....coulda been the CAI as well though

mike_d87 · 14-11-2005, 10:12 PM

mine makes a whoosh noise at about 3500 rpm, thats without CAI, mines just a 1.8 BA so an sp20 may have a bit more effect....

yep. doing a search should bring up the part number

or it might be in here if it still works -> http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=741

Did a search on the K&N website.

They do not have replacement filters for V6 KFZE. They only have 1.6L and 1.8L.

Maybe a mazda 626 filter element will fit into KFZE, since both are using the same V6 engine.

Rupewrecht · 21-11-2005, 12:06 PM

No, they do make one for the Astina V6. Part number is KN33-2026

Rupert,

Did u search on this site : http://www.knfilters.com/search/product

Rupewrecht · 21-11-2005, 12:46 PM

yep.

1997 MAZDA 323 2.0L L4 F/I - All Automotive Air Filter 33-2026
lists it as for a 4cyl but it's the same part number.

cheers

Skip, check out MrPayners performance part database spreadsheet thingy - i think it said it was about $120 a few years ago

And Gabby? Quiet you!
