I have a stock 1972 1.7L little porsche. It has the oil bath air filtration on it. The oil bath seems to me like it would rob the engine of air. Since i live in colorado i was thinking the more air the better. I found a k&n filter kit on the 9xauto.com that will fit a 1.7L engine. My question to you guys is it worth it?? Will it help my engine?? i need a new air filter boot anyway because mine is cracked.
Thanks I know this picture is not a 1.7L but they said it will work Attached image(s)

If I'm not mistaken all the hoses attach to the boot, not the filter housing anyway.
I used a K&N motorcycle filter on my 1.7 liter when I ran in SCCA ITB. All I did was cut the boot in the middle and insert a piece of thinwall steel tube so I could rotate the inlet to a better position for the K&N. Then I used another piece of steel tube to attach the filter element. I'll see if I can dig it out of my pile of old parts and take a pic. |
