So what you guys are saying is if you put in a drop in filter get a Kn and ??? do you reset the ecu and how do you do that ??? If you go with a full intake get the srt with the new ecu ( this will affect ur warranty correct) ??? Please let me know, thanks......

Thanks, sorry i have a second gen 05, but i will try and do what you said see what i find.......

 

Whats the part number for it the only one i found was on martel brothers but they only have up to 04 not for an 05 i assume they are the same thou ??? Part number they ( #KNE33-2220 ) is that right please let me know.........

 

Look what just arrived:



So, if I install this and remove the rubber stopper under the accelerator, that's like +40hp, right??

 

When installing a drop in filter does the ecu need to be reset ??? How do you reset it ???

 

Mr Big,

Probably don't need to, but you can just in case and it won't hurt anything

You can reset it by

a.) removing the battery cable for a few minutes
b.) pulling the ECU fuse in your fuse box located (in the 4) in the engine compartment near the windshield, passenger side

And a thread with a decent explanation click here

If you flip open your fuse box and look at the inside of the lid, it will have a map to tell you what each fuse does.

If you have a non-nav car, you will lose your radio settings and your personalized seat / mirror preferences.

 

I have a k&n drop in in my 98 gs stock with 17's. how much of a H.P gain am i getting with the k&n drop in? anyone dyno there car to see?

 

I'm also planning the drop in K@N filter... My concern is the reseting of the ECU... Is it the Neg. terminal on the battery? thanks tmf

 

To be quite honest, I did not feel any gain what so ever in performance when I switched out the oem and put in the K&N. I believe its nothing more than marketing hype on K&N's part. The only advantage to the K&N is that you can clean it and re-use it. No more no less. BTW, my gas milage was the same with oem vs K&N.

 

has anyone tried the new HKS hybride filter?? iono

 

i have a K&N and its awesome, when you take it out to clean it, you can see how much crap it traps!

 

i just got the k&n drop in for its warranty.
be moderate on the oiling, you can clean/reuse it. i doubt there's really any hp gain, but it breathes more air (maybe not that much more than oem though); which should be good for the car, right?

 

K&N's last longer...

 

I have installed a k&n air filter in my 2001 gs430. 1 month later i started experiencing problems. When I push the gas under low RPM, the car stalls and RPMS drop, then I'll push the gas again harder, and the car would drive. problem got worse. When my mechanic checked it out, the computer showed that it was the maf. He remove the K&N filter, and it looked like playdough. Very dirty and greasy. I never had that problem before. The ECU light never went on.

I see here that many people complain about the same problem with their GS430S. I dont know what the problem is exactly. Can it be the MAF? or Cleaning the fuel injectors? or the TPS? or throttle body?

Any feedback would help a lot. Thank You.
