K&N Filter
I have a standard 55 WRX.
is it worth getting a K&N filter for it- will i notice any benefit from it, if so what type? green or red? or there any other filters that are better? what kind of HP increase will i get? |
Lots of choices for the WRX, 'Green' cotton filter is one of the most popular.. may add a few BHP, but I think you would be hard pressed to tell..

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=33-2075 this is the red one, but couldn't find the green on k&n's site. http://www.technicalservicesuk.co.uk...ent_prices.htm ^^ selling them for £38 inc VAT :D |
Green filters are actually made by the company Green
Both filters are pretty good and only lightly oiled so should have no MAF issues unlike MY99/00 cars. Difference will probably not be noticable but should help the engine breath a bit better and the filtration maybe better then standard. Also look into STi panel filters, lots of people fit them tem to standard boxes as well:thumb: |
:D i thought K&N made red or green ones, LOL
unrelated question-> i'm still running in, but my oil temp never goes much above the 1/4 temp line (ie JUST inside the normal range)-> is that normal?? other cars i've had (never a new one before) have been pretty much bang on the middle line after they've warmed up will this change after i have the 1000 mile service + proper oil put in? |
I had the STI one before switching to Green, personally I'd just change to another filter when the OE one needs replacing.. & spend the £38 on fuel now, LOL..

Oil temp:confused:
Unless you,ve got gauges fitted then this is the water temp and sounds normal. Oil temp usually runs at 90~110degrees C |
