Aircleaner problem. Help please.

[Spirrow]

Hi ppl, I am new, and would like to get some info, I have changed my stock aircleaner with a racing or cone aircleaner, but it seems like I don't have any power now. I have fiddled with the air intake screw but still the same. The performance is down in the dumps. Please help

Hi spirro welcome to the site. What car do you have and what engine? What make of air filter is it?

I'm guessing its a low cc engine and the loss of power is typical when you fit an induction kit. A panel air filter would probably be best for your car.

It may also be down to the exhaust - more air in means more air needs to get out so if the engine size is larger it might just be an exhaust issue.

It is a Nissan 1400 LDV, I am trying to sup it up a bit but I am on a tight budget, I can't remember the name of the airfilter, but when I had it on the first time, I used the adapter straight from the carburator, but now I have made a hose, and since then it had the problem. If I get 120KM/H out of the car I am lucky! Is there anything else that can be done? I can get a 32 weber, but I dont know if it will fit as it came from a VW Golf MK1. Will that make any difference??
