RVF400 High Flow Air Filter Unit

Post by gooey27 » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:47 pm

Hi all,

Im trying to find a high flow performance air filter for my '95 NC35 (see link) hopefully just a replacment filter to fit standard air box- cant find one for toffee! does one even exist?! Just bought an ART racing can + denso iridium plugs so want to fit a high flow filter at the same time...

cheers

The std filter is as good as any - K&N don't make filters for the 30 or 35 etc.
Your other option is to make a foam one but it will likely mess your fuelling up and is not really recommended.

Depends how keen you are to get fiddling with the jetting and suchlike.

If you want it to work..then fit a std filter. If you want to mess with it a bit for no guarantee of a better result then get some foam.

will stick to original then if there's no direct replacement, dont like the sound of blue petering an air filter myself, was always crap at cutting and sticking....

will get it fully set up when serviced with new end can and plugs!

thanks for the advice and the welcome!

If it doesn't change the fuelling requirement then you're not getting any more air in than the std filter.

More air needs more fuel...

I haven't seen the dual element filter you're referring to, but the foam filters I have seen have all required jetting changes.
