Clearly this air filter is too small...?
Just got this air filter...way too small right? I thought it would be nearly double the size. Feel my car stuttering like it's not getting enough air. It's a nice K&N filter....just don't think it's the right size for me. I ordered this off Amazon as it was the best price, but Autozone is still open a little while longer I can make a quick run if I have to.

well your car was made in 92 and thats the original maf... sometimes, oil charged filters can cause them to act up. The size of the filter doesnt worry me, as long as air can pass thru it, and i wouldnt doubt it can. do you have any gauges? AFR? Silly question cuz Im aware your car is mostly stock...

The best bet was to make the BFI. Alot of hot air, and I mean alot of hot air are being sucked into this style of filter. Not to sound mean, but I also think the filter is too small for the V8 to breath.

I research the heck out of any mod before I instsall or buy parts. I say return the unit and make your own bfi yourself. It will make you totally satisfied and you will not loose any horsepower from allowing excessive hot air into the intake. For even more performance buy a K and N stock filter.

I dont see how it can be too small.... The stock airbox snorkel inlet is much smaller, and ive seen people use similar sized filters on turbos. Dunno, maybe the pic makes it look bigger than it is.
About the stuttering, you may have gotten dirt on something on the MAF when installing the filter. Or the oil from the K&N filter got on it, but i dont think it would mess up the MAF that fast.

looks like same size filter im running on my modded jz.... i dout its the filter acting up.. few things... how old your plugs.... clean terminals on battery, trust me on battery..
similar issue on my buddies 1uz turned out was running like **** because the battery terminals were gross.. cleaned them up,... car ran like a champ... need to realize changing on thing effects others.....
new AIR FILTER = more clean air read into engine through maf and O2 sensor... engine puts out more fuel which is supplied through fuel system and FUEL FILTER which needs to be ignited by your SPARK PLUGS .. plugs need juice from your electrical system aka ALT and BATTERY
everything is connected which is why every spring i pull my car out of storage.. i re install the battery making sure posts are clean, i check ground points on engine, install new plugs and install a new air filter.. this is over kill i realize but it is nice knowing i dont have to worry about anything for rest of season
what im saying is... you own a lexus treat her right PLUGS, O2 sensor, FUEL Filter, air filter are cheap things to do and normally they result in more power and better fuel eco
