Re: K&N filter for VR-1B? (Flyin'Brian)
Is the AC# a paper filter? Unoiled? I had the K&N but when I checked it the last time I had oil streaks all over inside the air scoop and the TB was also very oily. I am concerned that they are over oiled and will gum up my MAF sensor and then the car will run like poopie. Anyone else experience this???

Re: K&N filter for VR-1B? (TNTC5)
What are the dimensions of the K&N filter (no measuring the rubber seal)?
Just asking because a 346ci V8 reving to 6600rpm needs at least 110 square inches of minimum filter size.
346ci V8 reving to 7000rpm needs ~117 square inches.
To give you an idea here are a few:
ZR1 filter - 10x17 - 170si (enough for a 436cid past 8K)
LS1 Fbody - 14.5x6.5 - 94.25 (enough for the STOCK LS1 to 5700rpm)
C5 vette - ???
I'm just wondering because the above K&N filter crosses references as a 1974-1982 Triump TR-7 replacement filter and I'm a little concerned about size?

Re: K&N filter for VR-1B? (H82BFST)
Yes, those numbers are the actual "filter area". Not the rubber surround.
That datebase is wrong. If the filter was only 1.75" wide it would fall into hole and I can assure you it is not 1.75" thick.

Re: K&N filter for VR-1B? (Flyin'Brian)
According to Vararam, they have to modify the K&N to fit their unit properly. This is what I had them do. I am now much more confident then when I had that flimsy piece of foam known as the "race filter" falling apart.
