K&N Helps Make Aston Martin Racing GTE World Endurance Championship Possible

Several stock components must be utilized including the block, heads, and crankshaft

The Aston Martin V8 engine is limited to 480 horsepower by means of an intake restrictor

Though being formed in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford (the Aston name came from a hillclimb course). After WWII the company’s savior was tractor manufacturer David Brown, who's DB initials still grace models today.

A powerhouse in international sports car racing in the late 1950s, Aston Martin even won the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959 with future Cobra builder Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori driving an Aston Martin DBR1.

Over forty years would pass before Aston Martin would mount a solid effort with its production sports cars in international racing, and it finally paid off this year. Aston Martin Racing drivers Nicki Thiim and Marco Sørensen, both from Denmark, have won the GT world championship after taking victory in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s season finale in Bahrain.

The GTE cars are built from a standard shell, as required by the rules, along with a number of standard specifications. Power of the V8 engine has been increased to 480 horsepower, and repositioned in the chassis for better weight distribution. The air inlet to the Aston Martin V8 is grabbed by scoops in the front bumper, squeeze down the required intake restrictors, then through custom pipes to a K&N air box.

Careful attention to aerodrnamics is no longer limited to open wheel race cars

This year's rules allowed for a larger rear diffuser, which helped Aston Martin greatly

Fitted internally is a roll cage to current FIA standards. Steering is hydraulically power assisted, while gear changes are made through semi-automatic paddle shifters to an Xtrac six speed sequential gearbox. Brakes consist of six pot Brembos on the front, four on the rear. Dampers are four-way adjustable products from Bilstein.

All up, the car weighs 2745 lbs or almost 1000 pounds more than Carroll Shelby’s DBR1’s 1765 lbs.

Coming into the last race of the season, the Danish driver team led the GT Drivers title battle by 12 points, with the team ahead of its nearest competitor in the GTE Pro championship with a two point advantage. While a third place finish would provide the points needed to take the GT Drivers title, the Danes claimed victory in style by taking their second win of the season, securing the GTE Pro championship for Aston Martin Racing in the process.

Qualifying went about as well as could be expected for Aston Martin, as the team took a 1-2 in GTE Pro and pole position in GTE AM for that weekend’s FIA World Endurance Championship’s 6 Hours of Bahrain. After the sun set and temperatures dropped in the Bahraini desert, the #97 V8 Vantage GTE of Darren Turner (GB) and Jonny Adam (GB) set identical lap times of 1:56.953 to clinch pole position for the next day’s race. The pair were followed by GTE Pro and GT Drivers championship leaders Nicki Thiim (DN) and Marco Sørensen (DN), who brought their #95 entry home with an average lap time of 1:57.081 to lock out the front row of the GTE Pro grid.

Fitting the race was run in dusty conditions as the box was first developed for sprint cars

Aston Martin utilizes a highly-modified K&N air box and filters

After battling hard in the race with the #51 AF Corse Ferrari 488GTE over the opening hours, the duo accrued a lead of over 20 seconds by the fifth hour. With their rivals pushing hard in the final stages to close the gap, Thiim worked hard to maintain the advantage to the checkered flag, finishing 12.695 seconds over second place.

Thiim’s teammate Sørensen added, “It’s absolutely amazing to win the championship and I’m going to say it’s even more incredible to win it with a Danish “brother” like Nicki. When we were 10 years old, we raced against each other in karting but to be here winning a championship with him and Aston Martin Racing is fantastic."

Up The Power In Your Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango By Over 11 Horsepower

The conical filter is attached to an aluminum intake tube for maximum air flow

Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified aluminum intake tube into the engine’s throttle body

The Chrysler Pentastar series of aluminum dual overhead cam 24-valve V-6 engines was first introduced at the 2009 New York Auto Show for 2011 model year Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, replacing a number of V-6 engines used in various models. The engine design also allows the use of E85 or 87 octane fuel, supports cylinder deactivation, and features dual variable valve timing.

For 2016, an updated version of the 3.6 liter engine was released for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The engine now featured two-stage variable valve lift (VVL), a revised intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and new coil packs. It also features upgrades to the variable valve timing (VVT) system, an increased compression ratio (11.3:1), lower internal friction, and lower weight. These improvements help to increase power as well as efficiency. The 3604 cc (219.9 CID) V-6 now produced 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. These are impressive numbers for a relatively low-displacement engine in an SUV.

On the other hand, the GMC Acadia features a 3.5L V6 that produces 310 horsepower, that’s a 15 horsepower increase over the latest Pentastar V-6

However, there’s good news for 2016 – 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners. The K&N 77-1572KS air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on select 2016 – 2017 Grand Cherokee and Durango models. The cold air intake kits provide additional fresh intake air for the engine, so that it can produce more power. On K&N’s own chassis dynamometer a 2016 Grand Cherokee 3.6 liter V-6 demonstrated an estimated increase of 11.49 horsepower.

The largest possible K&N air filter has been selected to maximize air flow

The K&N air filter is positioned where it will recieve maximum cold air flow under the hood

The air first enters a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter located within a heat shield that installs into the original air box space. Much of the performance increase can be attributed to the oversized conical air filter manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media, which offers less resistance than traditional filters but provides outstanding engine protection.

Engine protection is provided by a multi-layered cotton material which filters out microparticles that could damage your engine to ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house filtration testing lab, which adheres to ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that K&N filters provide high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

The intake tube of a K&N air intake significantly reduces restriction to incoming air flow as well as calms turbulence. Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified aluminum intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose while the heat shield adapts the secondary air hose (where equipped) to a secondary air filter as well.

Best of all, the K&N air intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package.

Included in the shipping box are all parts including detailed instructions

Besides the air intake iteself, all parts needed for installation come in the box

And once you’ve installed your K&N filter you’ve eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered Grand Cherokee or Durango. The only maintenance is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N recharge kit 99-5000 to easily clean your K&N air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform with the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile warranty without requiring replacement.

The K&N 77-1572KS intake system fits the following vehicles:

2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.6L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models
2017 DODGE DURANGO 3.6L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models
2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.6L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models

A Complete Guide to K&N Chevrolet Silverado Performance Parts

 

K&N makes an entire line of GMT900 & K2XX Chevy Silverado Performance Parts

History of the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado GMT900 & 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado K2XX

The "Heartbeat of America" started pumping all the way back in 1918, when the first Chevrolet 490 Light Delivery rolled off the assembly line. This Chevy half-ton truck was built on a car chassis with beefed up rear springs, and buyers could choose either a slide-in pickup bed for the roadster body, or have a custom service body built by an upfitter. Farmers, tradesmen, and small businesses loved this handy little pickup, and it eventually became a staple of the Chevy product line. Fast forward 50-odd years, and the pickup truck had transitioned from a bare-bones work tool into, a source of personal transportation. To meet the changing demands, a new top-shelf Chevrolet C/K Silverado was introduced for the 1975 model year. It featured car-like amenities such as velour upholstery, sound deadening material, and extra chrome trim. At the time, the Chevy Silverado was considered a luxurious conveyance, and the name would be used to designate all top of the line Chevrolet C/K pickups until the C/K nomenclature (C = 2wd | K = 4wd) was dropped for the all-new GMT800 Chevrolet Silverado in 1999. The GMT800 Chevrolet Silverado HD was launched a year later, and featured a number of improvements over the previous incarnations of the Silverado 1500HD, Silverado 2500HD, and Silverado 3500HD. 

 

K&N has everything from GMT900 Silverado Performance Air Filters to GMT900 Duramax Diesel Intakes

The second generation 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado was based on the new GMT900 platform, and featured a fully boxed frame for added torsional stiffness and towing/payload capacity. Other enhancements included a quieter cabin, a more direct rack & pinion steering system, and luxuries like a power sliding rear window, and touchscreen navigation. When properly equipped, the GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow up to 10,500 lbs. Step up to the GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Duramax 6.6L, and you'll be able to drag an impressive 23,000 lbs. In 2014, the K2XX Chevrolet Silverado introduced an even more advanced platform, and the SAE adjusted tow ratings provided a more realistic account of what these trucks can do in the real world. But no matter what the numbers say, these K&N Chevrolet Silverado performance parts can help improve both the efficiency and capability of your faithful steed.

K&N Chevrolet Silverado Performance Parts

 

Find all of the K2XX Chevrolet Silverado Performance Parts you need, right here at K&N

Don't list your Chevrolet Silverado for sale when you can easily transform the way it drives. No matter if you have a GMT900 Chevy Silverado 1500, a Chevrolet Silverado HD 6.6L Duramax Diesel, or a 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado K2XX, K&N carries a full line of Silverado performance parts that can unleash horsepower and make your Chevy truck perform like it was intended. From numerous Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Diesel Cold Air Intake Systems, to warranty-approved low restriction K&N Chevy Silverado Replacement Air Filters, the following Silverado performance parts can help protect your truck, while you get more done.

More Air = More Power.

K&N Replacement Air Filters

Regardless if you need a GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado air filter, a Chevrolet Silverado HD Duramax diesel air filter, or a K2XX Chevrolet Silverado air filter, you need to understand the two types that are available to you: 'surface loading' and 'depth loading'.

It doesn't matter the year, every factory replacement OEM Chevrolet Silverado 4.3L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 4.8L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 6.0L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L air filter, and Chevrolet Silverado 6.6L diesel air filter is made from a thick folded/pleated paper. As air passes through that OE Silverado air filter, all of the dirt, dust and debris collects between the pleats on the surface of the filter (i.e. 'surface loading'). Over time, that layer of dirt will start to get thicker and eventually restrict airflow to the engine. This will significantly reduce horsepower, while simultaneously increasing engine strain and fuel consumption.

 

Improve Chevy Silverado performance with a K&N Replacement Air Filter

By contrast, a 'depth loading' K&N Chevrolet Silverado Replacement Air Filter is made from 4-6 layers of high-flow cotton gauze that's suspended in a rugged polyethylene frame between 2 layers of aluminum screen. The signature red color comes from a proprietary oil that is used to treat the filter material. This causes the cotton fibers become sticky and capture dirt as air flows through the filter. That oil then soaks into the dirt particles, locking them inside the web of cotton fibers. It also turns the dirt into a filtration element, because other dirt particles will actually stick to them as air flows through the filter. The reusable K&N Replacement Air Filter can also go for up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required (depending on road conditions). And using one of these high-flow drop-in K&N air filters won't void your Silverado factory warranty either.

So whether you're looking for a Chevy Duramax diesel performance air filter to reduce engine strain. Or you just want a no-hassle performance increase for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71, a low restriction K&N Direct Fit Air Filter helps provide excellent engine protection.

A K&N 77-Series Intake can boost power on the GMT900 & K2XX Chevy Silverado

K&N 77-Series Performance Intake Systems - 2007-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD | 2011-2014 Chevrolet Silverado Duramax

Designed specifically for truck applications, every Chevrolet Silverado K&N 77-Series Performance Intake System features ruggedized components that can withstand the harsh conditions that most pickups have to endure. These K&N Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake Systems exchange the narrow factory intake tube for a wide-diameter aluminum intake tube, which has mandrel bent curves to eliminate turbulence and provide a more direct airflow path to the engine. An oversized K&N Performance Air Filter is used to increase the airflow volume over the restrictive OE Silverado airbox. And some applications come with a sturdy powder coated heat shield that prevents warm engine air from getting sucked into your K&N 77-Series Silverado performance intake system. All of this ingenuity was then dyno tested, and the results showed an estimated increase of 10.82 horsepower on a GMT900 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L, and an estimated increase of 19.94 horsepower / 19.75 lb-ft on a K2XX 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Duramax 6.6L. But of course, your results will depend on the mileage, modifications, and condition of your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado GMT900 or 2014- Chevy Silverado K2XX.

State regulations can actually prevent many people from enjoying the performance benefits of a Silverado Cold Air Intake System. And that's exactly why the 50-state legal K&N 57-Series FIPK Intake System was developed.

This allows your GMT900 Chevy Silverado and K2XX Chevy Silverado to make a lot more horsepower & torque than it would in stock form. Your air filter maintenance intervals will also be extended, because the 'depth loading' K&N performance air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be cleaned (depending on road conditions). Plus, each Silverado 57-Series FIPK Intake comes will all of the necessary CARB exemption documentation so you can pass your next smog inspection.

K&N Custom Air Cleaners & Assemblies Add Superior Airflow and Superior Performance

K&N air cleaner assemblies

K&N air cleaner assemblies are designed with the racer or classic car enthusiast in mind, and provide superior performance, excellent engine protection, as well as impressive styling

K&N and racing go way back, all the way to the company's inception in 1969. Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald, the founders of K&N, identified a need for better-performing air filters for their racing motorcycles and invented the high-flow cotton air filter. Their revolutionary air filter design was put to the test in off-road motorcycle racing and proved to be a durable performance product. Over the last 45+ years, K&N air filters have been utilized in a wide variety of racing applications from NASCAR and NHRA drag racing to the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series and the Baja 1000. K&N air filters have consistently been proven to deliver outstanding airflow, filtration efficiency, and performance.

Nearly everyone loves a classic car and with them comes the most classic air filter design housed in a round air cleaners & assemblies sitting atop a carburetor. Whether for a classic, or a race car, if it needs a round air filter and air cleaner, K&N has air cleaners that will look great under the hood and provide high airflow. Perhaps the most common are the 14" and 16" air cleaner assemblies. These assemblies come in a variety of heights and baseplate configurations to fit popular 4-barrel carburetors or similar throttle body setups. K&N 14" and 16" air cleaners are available with filter element heights ranging from 2 5/16" up to 6" to accommodate different hood clearance needs as well as airflow requirements. K&N 14" or 16" air cleaners are available in either 5-1/8" or 7-5/16" neck flange diameters to fit standard and Holly Dominator-sized carburetors.

K&N 14-inch round air cleaners

The 14-inch round, by 3-inch high air cleaner assembly was the go-to performance air cleaner choice for carbureted race car, hot rod, muscle car and pickup truck owners for years

Another feature of K&N's 14" air cleaner assemblies is that they're available with different drop or raised base plates to meet additional fitment and performance requirements. 14" assemblies with a 5-1/8" neck flange diameter can be ordered with a 1-1/4" or 7/8" drop base. A drop base K&N air cleaner effectively lowers the bottom edge of the filter element below the carburetor flange to alleviate hood clearance issues. 14" K&N air cleaners with the standard 5-1/8" neck are also available with a raised base plate.

K&N 14" air cleaners for the 7-5/16" Holly Dominator sized neck flange come with a 3/4" velocity stack built into the base plate to help streamline and smooth airflow into the carburetor to further increase performance. K&N 16" air cleaner assemblies come in a 7-5/16" neck flange diameter and are capable of flowing over 1000 CFM. If you have a Dominator-sized carburetor and serious performance is your number one priority, the K&N 16" air cleaner assembly is for you. Browse the list of K&N Fourteen & Sixteen Inch Custom Air Cleaner Assemblies to find the perfect air cleaner assembly.

K&N also offers round air cleaner assemblies in 11" diameters. 11" diameter K&N air cleaners are offered in 2 5/8" and 5 1/8" neck flange sizes for applications where space is at a premium, but performance cannot be sacrificed. Additionally, K&N 11" air cleaners are offered with 7-5/16" neck flange with filter element heights ranging from 3-1/2" to 6", making them ready to flow the air required by thirsty Holly Dominator carburetors. Browse K&N Eleven Inch Custom Air Cleaner Assemblies to view all the available K&N 11" air cleaners.

When space really is a problem, look no further than the K&N 9" air cleaner assemblies. Available in 5 different flange sizes and various heights, these 9" air cleaners are ideal for dual carb setups. They include stainless steel top and base plates as well as an optional tall velocity stack base plate. These tall velocity stack base plates position the air filter 5" above the carburetor to draw cooler air into the engine and increase air velocity. Engines equipped with these K&N Tall Velocity Stack Air Filter assemblies can produce more horsepower, with proper carburetor calibration, than those with no air cleaner assembly at all. Note, these assemblies are not U.S. Coast Guard approved as marine flame arrestors.

K&N X-Stream Airflow Tops

Because serious engines require serious airflow, K&N offers X-Stream Airflow Tops which replace the traditional air cleaner top plate with K&N high-flow filter media

And then we have the smallest of the grou - the K&N 7" air cleaner assemblies. These air cleaner assemblies are ideal for show car applications, but may not flow enough air for optimum performance. See K&N's air filter facts for information on proper air filter sizing. Because serious engines require serious airflow, K&N also offers X-Stream® Airflow Tops. The X-Stream airflow tops and X-Stream air cleaner assemblies replace the traditional top plate with K&N high-flow filter media. More filtration surface area will provide additional airflow, which can translate to more power. Complete air cleaner assemblies can be ordered in 9", 11", 14" and 16" sizes in various colors with the X-Stream top. Search through the K&N XStream Air Flow Assemblies, Filters, and Filter Tops to find the right X-Stream Airflow air cleaner.

K&N Flow Control air cleaner

The revolutionary K&N Flow Control air cleaner makes use of a custom lid and base plate to provide smooth, laminar airflow into standard 5-1/8" or 7-5/16" neck carburetors

Another option for maximum airflow requirements is the K&N Flow Control System. This revolutionary air cleaner assembly makes use of a custom lid and base plate to provide smooth, laminar airflow into the carburetor. Available for 2- and 4-barrel Holly carburetors, both standard and Dominator-sized as well as Rochester carburetors, this is the most advanced air filter assembly K&N offers for carbureted applications. The Flow Control System air cleaner assemblies have been dyno-proven to deliver impressive power gains and are capable of flowing up to 1,200 CFM.

While a 4-barrel carburetor is the performance standard, K&N hasn't forgotten about smaller one- or two-barrel carburetors. Whether an air cleaner is needed for Weber, SU, Solex, Mikuni, Holly, Stromberg, Dellorto or other carburetors, K&N most likely has an air cleaner that will get the job done. Take a look at K&N's extensive offering of Custom Air Filters for Single or Two Barrel Carburetors. These assemblies come with a K&N washable and reusable high-performance air filter, chrome top and bottom plates, as well as all the gaskets, nuts, and vent tubes necessary for installation.
