irokin Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Well my engine bay has gone from this: To this: Spot the difference(s)? And now when I put my foot to the floor it sounds like Ive got a Wikid sports exhaust :P Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Yes, those Ramflo air filters do make the engine sound a lot louder, I can vouch for that myself, I had one on my Corolla at one stage before I changed over to a Redline air filter, I didn't want all the foam deteriorate and get inside the engine. (personally I believe paper filters are the better way to go). Quote
irokin Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 I was reading on the box that you can run it oiled. So that might stop it deteriorating....that or I could run a bit of mesh over the carby intake to catch the foam...but I can't see it deteriorating that quick. You can buy replacement foam for pretty cheap too. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I only had a Ramflo filter because it was all I could get at the spur of the moment when I changed my carb, its all down to personal choice, I just feel safer knowing my Redline filter won't deteriorate. What made you change over from the standard air filter out of curiousity? Quote
irokin Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 The stocko filter box wasnt flowing enough air and sucking oil out of the crank case to try and make up for the air that it couldnt get thru the 1 inch hole. Now it flows MUCH better! Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 Yeah, my engine does the same thing sucking the oil out all over the palce.. one of these days i'll get it out and fix all my oil leaks :blink: Quote
irokin Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Posted June 12, 2003 I was thinking about what it sounded like and from about 4000rpm on full throttle it sounds like a deep rotary exhaust! :P Quote
Medicine_Man Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 My engine seldom sees 4000RPM, he he he Quote
irokin Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Posted June 12, 2003 :P mine rarely DOESNT see 4000rpm. 6000rpm is a trip and a half! 5400 is a good peek rpm for my engine Quote
Spanky Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Much to my dismay although Toyota was good enough to create a stock 100kw in my car they somewhat dampen that by haveing a fuel cut just below 6500 rpm :P Quote
irokin Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Posted June 12, 2003 hehe easy fixed *cracks out the laptop* Quote
Wood§tok Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 i have had a pod filter on my camry for about 2 years now and with the EFI it has a really nice induction noise. it kind of sounds like a good exhaust but cause the noise comes from the front it sounds better... much better than a farty exhaust.

irokin Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Posted June 12, 2003 hrmm...damn valve bouncin....I wonder if I could fix that when I build my motor...then we'll see what I rev out to :P I don't allways rev out to 5000rpm...its usually alot less Quote
