Hi guys just after a little info on panel filters, I was looking on scoobyworld and there is a “do luck” filter on there that says u get a proven 12.9 bhp from it, now is it really possile to get that much from a panel filter?

Regards scottie

 

any1?

 

Seems a bit ambitious to me.

 

My "new" (well 1800 miles on the clock ) Spec C back in 2004 made a 12bhp increase with a decent panel filter, it had a good filtration rate (unlike the do luck nasty panel filter that lets all sorts of crap into your engine), so it is possible, then again JDM cars are known to be a little restricted with the standard filter (mine was a proper STI panel filter, not cheap).
I also wouldnt put a "do luck" filter in any car I own, I would go for something that filters

As Tony says. You wont go wrong with his advice. Steve.

 

 

Dont know about do luck filters ,but personally i have been using K & N filters for over 20 yrs now,and never had a problem on any car i have owned ,whether it be rs cosworths to mg turbos, and had one on my last 3 subarus with no issues at all.

 

As above STi panel filter or K&N along with Green cotton panel filer,which are mostly used.

green panel filter mate,

 

Cosworth panel filters always worked with me.

 

Just swapping my do-luck panel filter for a K&N today actually. Not been in there long at all but on the side of caution I would rather go for something that actually filters rather than damage my engine!

Do-Luck did get highest bhp increase in back to back tests with 12.9bhp increase over standard, but there will be little to nothing in it with green, K&N, STI, cosworth etc.

 

I use the doluck panel filter never had any problems, bought from sumo power

 

What can,t you understand.

 

It wasn`t me asking
