God i only been here 2 days and said i will keep my scooby standard and my Fleabay watch list is already enormous :o  i was looking at those induction kits with cone filter. Now wont the oil from filter damage the MAF sensor? And how easy are they to install?

Thats how it starts mate ;) you should still seen mine

   that's what i said too about my wagon 18 mths ago ,

 

   just keep it std as its only  used for collecting spares  and advertising etc i said. :D ... till my classic's serviced and remapped i said..... :D   

 

   but i just couldn't keep my bonnet down... . ;)

 

   i'll just re-condition my brakes   ;)

 

   suspension needed sorting so..  i just needed to re place the gators and a clean up . :)

 

   all the padding in my back box decided to fall out the other week    so i'll just throw a st/st item on there  

 

   i think ive replaced most serviceable items now with up rated ones , drop links-anti roll bar rubbers-control arm bushes 

 

    last items to change are the tyres now ive woken up to a flat one this morning     

 

   the best buy i got was a SD PLAYER NO MORE CD'S.. .. 

 

 

 

 THATS IT NOW ....................................... or is it?

With the cone filters the oil you put on them is very very small amounts the idea being to catch / hold the finest particules that would pass through the filter, I have seen people put so much oil on it is dripping off the bottom of the filter, way too much.

  the K&N induction kit I used was noticeably louder on the induction note and better cold starts, so far happy with it

yup used K&N filters for quite a few years always had good results

I have the K&N apollo great induction kit IMO

I didn't like the idea of a cone filter sucking hot air from under the bonnet so did a resonator delete (cut the air tumbler out from under the wing ) which increases air flow and fitted a k &n pannel filter as one of my first mods .

Saying that once I fit a fmic I'll have to fit a cone filter as the fmic pipework gets in the way of the standard air box ,but I'll try to run a cold feed and fit one with a heat shield .

All foam and cotton filters need oiling as without they are simply awful filters.  Problem is, as you have said, the oil kills MAF sensors.  Personally I am going to take the green filter out of my car and put in a decent quality paper one.  Performance difference is nil and the improved filtering of the paper filter will give peace of mind.  Plus with what I get from selling the green filter on ebay I can buy a few paper ones :D

I have heard that oil plays havoc with maffs but id also heard that the scooby maffs (especially classics) prone to fail anyways :-(

i had my pannel filter in for a good 3 k miles and didn't have any maff issues but due to the rumours I'm now running maffless (esl ) in my 97 classic ;-)

K&N apollo has a nice big fat tube to let it get the cold air. But being honest it has now been lost and I've been looking to replace it ever since :( but seen Ramair do one that might do the trick :)
