K&N short ram air intake for 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer DE, ES, ES-Sport 2.0L & GTS 2.4L models

The Mitsubishi Lancer has been in production since 1973 and has served as the platform for the infamous Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for decades. The model has worn different names around the globe, including the Dodge/Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant, Eagle Summit, and Mitsubishi Mirage. However, it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that Mitsubishi marketed the car as the Lancer in the United States. This was due in part to Mitsubishi’s plans to finally export the eighth generation Lancer Evolution to the United States in 2003 after witnessing the success Subaru had with the Mitsubishi EVO’s top rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

The Mitsubishi Lancer has been in production since 1973, under several names, and has served as the platform for the infamous Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for decades

The current generation Mitsubishi Lancer was released in North America for 2008 and will probably be the final generation Lancer, and Lancer Evolution to be produced. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 non-turbo Mitsubishi Lancer DE, ES, and ES-Sport models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4B11 engine. While it shares the same basic architecture as the 4B11T engine used in the Lancer EVO X, it makes about half as much horsepower. Beginning in 2009 Mitsubishi began to offer a larger 2.4-liter 4B12 engine in Lancer GTS models providing slightly more horsepower and torque than the 2.0L base model Lancers.

The 2015 #37 Pro2 & Pro-Lite trucks are adorned with a fresh red & white graphics scheme inspired by 2014’s look and RJ’s Polaris RZR viral video series XP1K

K&N sponsored driver RJ Anderson kicked off his Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) 2015 season the weekend of March 7-8, 2015 in Lake Elsinore, California. Excitement peaked going into the RJ’s first race weekend of the year but the 2015 season began months ago for the RJ37 Team. Never has Anderson worked so hard to prepare for a season. Countless hours of testing and prep went into the #37 Pro2 & Pro-Lite trucks in support of this year’s championship quest.

K&N sponsored driver RJ Anderson kicked off his Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) 2015 season the weekend of March 7-8, 2015 in Lake Elsinore, California

A new look was unveiled to the public in front of RJ’s home crowd not far from K&N headquarters in Riverside, California. A fresh red & white graphics scheme inspired by 2014’s look and RJ’s Polaris RZR viral video series XP1K, now adorns the 2015 #37 Pro2 & Pro-Lite trucks. With this fresh look came a new level of confidence both in the team and RJ himself. 2014 was challenging as RJ Anderson, then only 21 years old, ran his 2 truck program for the first time all on his own. Combine that with 2014 being RJ’s rookie season in the elite Pro2 class and you have enough pressure to break even the most seasoned racer. RJ battled all year long in 2014 to prove himself as a team owner and learning as much as he could as a driver in a new division.

For 2015 RJ and the RJ37 team are all about results and during the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) weekend in Lake Elsinore, California RJ proved that he is back and will be a force in both divisions all year long. RJ earned 2 podiums in the Pro-Lite division putting his K&N air filters supported #37 LoanMart, Walker Evans Racing, and South Point Pro-Lite truck on the box in 3rd place for both rounds. The former Pro-Lite champion came out and showed that he and his team are coming to reclaim their championship title.

As K&N driver RJ Anderson reached the top 3 in LOORS Pro2, he, Jeremy McGrath, and Patrick Clark battled three-wide down the front straight away

RJ’s weekend of Pro2 racing would present some challenges, however he and the RJ37 team never gave up. Qualifying ended when a collision destroyed the Pro2 truck’s driver’s side front-end. The K&N sponsored RJ37 team would have to completely rebuild the front end before the evening’s race. The poor qualifying forced RJ to begin the race from 14th place. However, when the green flag dropped RJ sprinted to the front of the field battling for 2nd place before contact sent him out of podium contention and to the back of the pack. Despite a disappointing 13th place finish, RJ was the fastest truck on the track until race winner, and fellow K&N sponsored driver, Bryce Menzies would narrowly surpass his lap time late in the race. With the second fastest lap in Pro2, RJ had high spirits as he and the team prepped for Saturday’s Round 2 event.

On Saturday K&N sponsored driver RJ Anderson qualified 7th putting him in the middle of the herd as the green flag waived and racers fired off onto the track. RJ was once again one of the faster racers on the track and made quick work passing as many trucks as he could. As RJ reached the top 3, he, Jeremy McGrath, and Patrick Clark battled three-wide down the front straight away. Mid-air contact between RJ and Patrick Clark sent the #37 Polaris RZR Pro2 sideways and into a violent 360 spin as it landed. RJ remained on the throttle and after being tagged by a couple of trucks found himself back on course and still running. The yellow flag waived putting RJ into 4th where he would remain despite a last minute push to overtake McGrath for the 3rd position.

After the second Pro2 race RJ rolled back to the RJ37 pits where he was greeted by his team and fans who were riding high both on the weekend’s performance but more so on the promise of success for the remainder of the 2015 season. One thing RJ Anderson and the RJ37 Team never have to worry about is the superior airflow and superior performance their trucks receive from K&N filters. RJ would like to thank the entire RJ37 team, his family, fans and sponsors such as K&N air filters. K&N will continue to follow RJ Anderson and the RJ37 team throughout the 2015 LOORS season. If you can, head out to see RJ compete in his next races, April 14th & 15th, 2015 in Chandler, AZ at the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park.

K&N 14” round outside diameter lightweight spun aluminum air cleaner top / base kit, number 85-6851, can be paired with a variety of 14” round K&N air filters

The oversize K&N 16” round outside diameter spun aluminum air cleaner top / base kit, number 85-6852, is primarily intended for racing

The 14-inch round, by 3-inch high air cleaner assembly has been the go-to performance filter choice for carbureted race car, hot rod, muscle car and pickup truck owners for years. This isn’t mere coincidence as K&N’s airflow bench testing has shown that with a typical two and four barrel automotive carburetor, airflow is greater when the diameter of the air filter is large in comparison to its height. This means that an air filter that is 10" in diameter and 2" high will generally flow more air than an air filter which is 5" in diameter and 4" high. If space permits, you should choose an air filter where the height of the air filter is between 1/5 and 1/4 of the air filter's diameter.

While a 14” round by 3” high air cleaner assembly might be the most common, it might not always work with every intake manifold, carburetor, and hood combination out there. This is why K&N air filters, a leader in performance filter technology, offers air cleaner assemblies in multiple diameters which are compatible with air filters in many different heights. Lightweight K&N spun aluminum air cleaner top and base kits, available in 14” or 16” diameters, are compatible with 5-1/8” mounting flange carburetors and feature a drop base plate which drops the base of the air filter 1-1/2 inches below the carb flange. The drop base design helps to maximize air filter height while still clearing the hood in many custom hot rod, muscle car, or race car applications. Both the lightweight aluminum lid and base is left raw for a unique spun aluminum look and the top plate features K&N logos embossed along the outside edge.

K&N 14” round outside diameter lightweight spun aluminum air cleaner top / base kit, number 85-6851, can be paired with a variety of 14” round K&N air filters to meet varying hood clearance limitations as well as airflow requirements. K&N 14” spun aluminum air cleaner kit, 85-6851, will work with 2-5/16” air filter E-3740, 3” air filter E-1650, 4” air filter E-3750, 5” air filter E-3760, 6” air filter E-3770 and several other variations meant for drag racing or off-road racing use.
