K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
Hi,
Straight to the point here, basically I have a K&N air filter fitted with no snorkal and a after market no baffle s/steel end can. What I need to know is what jet sizes to use and what needle settings?
Thanks
Richard

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
#105 keihin jets , equivalent dynojet ones would be #100/#102 for that setup

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
you've got dynojet needles too Mike, stock needles may require different jets.

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
why is it when using a KnN, you need to remove the snorkel?

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
general consensus is that the KnN blocks the snorkel partly and runs richer than stock with it fitted.
sounds better without it too.

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
in which case is it worth removing the snorkel even when using the standard air filter? what is the purpose of the snorkel anyway?

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
the OE filter is different to the KnN, it doesnt block the end of the snorkel.
you can remove it, but you'll need to re-jet, and maybe play with needles.
its to smooth the airflow to help prevent flatspots, and to quieten the induction noise.

Re: K&N with no snorkal and aftermarket Can
i dont want it to be quiet. if i put a knn on, will it still need re-jetting?
