I removed my air box and K&N panel filter today from my 93 type ra and replaced it with the one in the picture. A quick road test was carried out up and down the bypass and now the engine cuts out at around 4/5 rpm when driven hard. Its like the ignition has been cut, the car ran fine until i fitted the filter, any idea's what it could be?
Spec is as follows:
Full de-cat from turbo
Scott taylor chip
K&N induction kit
Walbro 255 pump

fit your old one back on and see if it still does it for a start

 

It was fine before mate, i have used it everyday and had no problems with it at all. Not sure what it is....fuel cut maybe?

 

yer i know what your saying its just what id do as you have just fited a new filter.

 

yeah worth a try i suppose, but it running spot on before i fitted it

 

but if you fit the original filter back and it is fine again then you know that it is something to do with the new filter.

 

Yeah but what, i would like to leave the filter on and find the problem...otherwise its on ebay next week!!

 

Could it over boosting? can anyone help. i spent all day making brackets to hold steady, even bought a scoop, really don't want to remove it just yet. I hate being beaten!!
