K&N drop in filter?

[KBicknel]

Will the K&N drop in part # 33-2134 fit in the MSP?


I did a search and didn't find the answer so maybe someone out there can help.

Thanks,

I also would like to know this.
It's an allowed mod for autoxing here without changing classes.

 

[KBicknel]

Same reason that I am interested. Want to stay in DS and would like the K&N drop in.

If you have the sam e2.0L engine as other 2003 proteges (minus turbo of course) then yes, it will fit.

Take a look at that thread.. It has pics and installation tips. Good stuff thanks to AGR!

We can ONLY use the drop in filter for DS autocrossing.

Huh?

 

[KBicknel]

We race the car and the class that we are in is a stock class. We can not add a cone filter to the car and remain in stock. We can only replace the air filter with one similar to the stock filter. Or we can remove the air filter but we do not wish to do that.

Thanks. I thought it would but hated to waste the money if it didn't. Can always find the answer here!

ALL Proteges have the same stock airbox, so yes that K&N drop-in will work fine.

I missed the autox comment.. Sorry about that. =)

KBicknel: Please do a dyno run before and after with the drop in K&N! I know, that's kind of expensive, but I'm in the same situation: DS or STS?

The Injen intake numbers are really attractive: 8% more hp and 7% more torque from 3000 to redline. I'd like to know how much of that is available from the drop in K&N.

Anyway, let us know how it feels before and after!

 

[KBicknel]

At the very least, either my husband (Distanttea) or myself will post a review of the filter. I think we have made the DS commitment for this year but are thinking of STX for next year...maybe!

like kristi said, any intake mod will bump you up to STX, not STS

fyi, in STX you'll be running against WRXs IIRC.

pick your opponents wisely

What is the K&N drop in part number? I tried the one that fits all of the 2.0's and it does not fit in the MPS. The MPS has a much smaller airbox. Well, I'm wrong, I have a K&N filter in the car right now. Works great!

 

[KBicknel]

I was asking about 33-2134. Is that the one that didn't fit?

 

[nmaino]

Yes I think so. The filter for the N/A motor is too long to fit the turbo airbox.
