Add 15 Horsepower to European Seat with K&N Engineering Typhoon Kit

In the European supermini sector, the Seat Ibiza has sporty, aerodynamic features. The Seat Cordoba is also a supermini sedan built by Spanish car maker Seat. It is the 4-door version of the Seat Ibiza. These inexpensive small cars are as solidly constructed as most German executive cars that cost three times as much and blend character with practicality.

K&N Engineering has released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8251TS) in powder coated silver for the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 SEAT Ibiza 111 1.8L L4 Turbo and the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 SEAT Cordoba 1.8L L4 Turbo. Sparkling blue (69-8251TB) is also available.

The kit is a Complete Cold Air system. "This means it can be assembled onto the vehicle in two configurations," said K&N Project Designer Joost Adriaans. "The way to get the most out of this kit, approximately 15 horsepower, is to use the two tubes supplied, connected with a rubber hose and one of our drychargers fitted on the filter element, that is positioned behind the front wheel."

The drycharger is water-repellant and avoids water getting ingested into the intake. In bad weather conditions, the kit can be converted to a short ram configuration, where the filter is positioned in the upper part of the engine, just below the hood.

"It is usually a bit of a challenge to squeeze more horsepower out of the smaller European turbo engines with an intake kit," said Adriaans. "We are very satisfied with a 15 horsepower gain.

It takes about an hour to install this kit. "This K&N Intake Kit definitely improves performance, looks and the sound of anyone's Seat," said Adriaans.

K&N Designs New Replacement Air Filter & Airbox for Ford Super Duty Powerstroke Diesel

Designed to haul huge loads and traverse the toughest of trails, industrial strength Ford Super-Duty class trucks are made to be brawny workhorses. These diesel rigs come in a wide array of engine and cab configurations, with interior style and comfort.

The Harley Davidson Edition is also part of the Super Duty line. The Powerstroke diesel F-250 or F-350 is available in a two tone layout that features flames across the rocker panels and brightly polished 20-inch wheels.

K&N Replacement Air Filter for Ford F-250, F350 Super Duty and Excursion
K&N Engineering has made a new lifetime Replacement Air Filter (E-0780) for the Ford Super-Duty (2003-2007) truck line-up. It incorporates a new air box as well as a replacement filter. Once the OE filter and housing is removed the K&N Replacement Air Filter and air box connects in its place.

"It replaces the entire system," said David Shushereba, K&N Director of Research and Development. "It is also very different from the K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits we manufacture. Our FIPK's replace the entire system but do not include an airbox."

K&N engineers designed the E-0780 to be more in line with Ford's OE equipment. "We wanted a filter that was similar to the OE with a replacement air box," said Shushereba. "K&N's Airbox is less restrictive than the OE filter."

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

"The filter that comes with the Ford Super-Duty is bonded into the airbox. With the Ford filter the entire airbox has to be replaced when it's time to buy a new filter," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "Our K&N new lifetime Replacement Air Filter (E-0780) is designed with a new Airbox. It's easy to slide our filter out, clean our washable and reusable filter, and put it back in the K&N Airbox."

The washable, reusable high flow K&N Air Filter is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. This Replacement Air Filter with Airbox, like all K&N Air Filters for street vehicles, is covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your truck will ever need.

K&N Applications for E-0780 are:

2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 Ford F350 Super Duty 6.0L V8 DSL

K&N Filters Approved for Stock Class at AMA and NMA Sanctioned Events

K&N Engineering's MX XStream Filters (HA-4503XD), (YA-2506XD), (KA-2506XD) and (KA-2504) are now approved for use in Stock Classes. Amateur racers planning to race Ponca City, Oklahoma or Loretta Lynn's in Tennessee have been concerned, wondering if the K&N Filtration System would be allowed in "Stock" Class Competition at these National Level Amateur Events.

The American Motorcycle Association and National Motosport Association said the K&N MX Stream Top Filters are legal for the 125 and 250 Stock Classes. K&N's MX Stream-Top Air Filter is a two piece design that does not use the stock air filter cage, however it includes a built in Back-Fire Screen that acts as an approved flame arrestor.

"If you remove your OEM Air Filter Cage and Back-Fire Screen, but replace it with a K&N, which includes the built-in back fire screen, you are okay for NMA Sanctioned Events," said Ron Henricksen of the National Motosport Association. "As long as you are running a Back-Fire Screen and the Air Box is in tact, you are legal by NMA standards."

Motorcycles cannot be altered in Stock Class races. The only exceptions or changes in the stock class that will be allowed are the Air Breather may be removed or replaced and the air box may be drilled or replaced.

"K&N Filters will be legal in all stock classes, provided they are used in an unaltered OEM airbox," said AMA Sports Motocross Manager Ryan Holliday. "Removing a backfire screen that is attached to the airbox is not legal in stock classes. Supplemental rule # 24 from MX Sports address this issue: Aftermarket air filters may be used in the OEM unaltered air box."
