matt do you reccomend using that chain and bar oil for uni filters too?
For those of you who are going to use this idea and not just sit and criticize, instead of using air filter oil, if your on a budget get some chain and bar oil from bunnings, much cheaper and does the same, if not a better job.
matt do you reccomend using that chain and bar oil for uni filters too?
Yeah. I have used it on uni filters for carbs before, have been using it for 10+ years on my motorcross bikes. Just apply a thin layer inside and out, like pour a little bit in an ice cream container or something, get a sponge, get the sponge oily then dab it all over the filter. You dont want to drown it or anything, just get a full coverage.
uni filter socks looses about 3 kws over it being open this design ,thou it looks good will starve the motor of clean air
and most likely loose more kws than with socks

Whats that in percentage terms Glenn? Is that on your engine? This would make it barely one kW on a typical 4AGE. Most engines will pick up a kW if you remove the air cleaner. Doesn't make it a good idea.
what im saying is no socks 120kws with socks on 3kws less so 117 .this was on a std 20 v with extractors ,electric water pump and ram tubes with std black top ecu
and i have tried it on my motor as well
but its better with a big air box picked up 6 kws and with colder air temps as well
ah ok. thats a big difference. pity a decent airbox is such a massive engineering job.
I'm probably going to get some of these bad boys instead of buying more unifilters!!
there just as bad ,best bang for buck is the uni filters
Just as bad.. power wise?
Cost wise absolutely not... they cost twice what uni filters do but should last 10 times as long as unifilters... (especially in my situation where the rear most sock fouls on the brake booster and tears through every 6 months or so)
