K&N Engineering has designed a Lifetime Replacement Air Filter (33-2354) for the 2006 to 2010 Kia Rio 1.6L L4 and 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Hyundai Accent 1.6L L4. Lift the hood of the Kia or Hyundai and the K&N Air Filter is custom designed to fit in the factory air box. The drop-in design means adding performance is simple, just remove the disposable air filter in the Rio or Accent and replace it with K&N's Air Filter (33-2354).

The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. The 33-2354 is 1 inch in height (25mm) with an outside length of 10.625 inches (270mm) and an outside width of 5.313 inches (135mm).

Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum screen. The K&N Air Filters (33-2354) capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume air flow. These particles cling to the outside of the filter and become part of the filtering media.

Add 11 + HP to Lexus IS350, IS250 with K&N

K&N has also released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP) for the 2006 to 2011 Lexus IS350 3.5L and the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 IS250 2.5L. K&N dynamometer tests show an estimated 11.2 horsepower gain @5800 RPM. "The power gain is exceptional for an engine this size," said K&N Project Technician Nestor Cabrera. "With all our kits there is a thorough development procedure which requires the use of multiple vehicles to ensure a consistent horsepower and torque gain on every car, thus there is a lot of testing that the kit goes through before it is finalized production."

K&N used multiple vehicles to ensure a consistent horsepower and torque gain on every car and was able to locate the cars through the K&N Filters website car database.

The 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP) uses the factory mass air flow (MAF) Sensor installed in the tube and a high flow air filter with a heat shield. "The high flow air filter helps provide smooth non turbulent air flow into the intake tube by incorporating a radioused mounting flange," said Cabrera. "The heat shield isolates the filter from the engine compartment keeping the air around it cooler."

The design of the Lexus played a major role in the development of the polished aluminum 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8701TP). "Special care was taken to ensure that the intake system followed the vehicles lines and that it did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine compartment," said Cabrera. "We designed the intake system so that all the factory accessory and engine covers could be reused."

The K&N Air Filter we used in this air intake was the RU-4990 , said Cabrera. "We considered air flow requirements, location and space," he said. "The flange helps provide smooth air flow into the intake tube."

Team Renezeder Chases World Title at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway

Carl Renezeder is after another world champion title in Wisconsin at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway. In four consecutive seasons, Renezeder has walked away from the famous Labor Day event with a Champions Ring; three in the Pro-4 division and one in the Pro-2 division. Renezeder was also the winner of the coveted BorgWarner Cup in 2004.

This coming holiday, the CORR Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Championship Series racer hopes to add another win to his collection. “How can you not love Crandon,” said Renezeder. “As a driver it combines the X and Y factors: speed and technical sections, with the Z factor: flying through the air. There’s no other rush quite like it.”

“Racers need guts, talent and endurance to win at Crandon. The land-rush start funnels into a four-wide, off camber, 100 mph, descending apex turn not meant for the faint of heart. The next 1.75 miles has jumps leading into turns that have broken many parts over the past few decades. There are also high-speed and hairpin turns that, when used correctly, provide several places to pass. If Renezeder races well for ten laps he may go home Sunday with a new Champions Ring, the BorgWarner hardware and lots of spending money.

Team Renezeder uses K&N Engineering products. “As always, all of the K&N products on our race trucks work flawlessly,” said Jennifer Bissett of American Flyer Racing. “Whether it’s the high-flow K&N Air Filter protecting Menards’s custom fuel injection system on our Nissan Titan Pro-2, or the K&N Oil Filter on our Lucas Oil Pro-4, K&N products are as reliable as our driver’s talent. We wouldn’t trust anything else under the hood.”
