Nick O’Kane’s Carbon Fiber Clad Honda CBX Custom is a Show Stopper

2. dec. 2016

custom carbon fiber 1982 Honda CBX built by Nick O'Kane

This gorgeous custom carbon fiber 1982 Honda CBX was built by custom bike builder Nick O'Kane

When I talk to custom bike builders, my first question to them always revolves around the nature of their inspiration for a specific build. More often than not, builders will tell me of a special, even visceral connection they feel with the donor bike. Nick O’Kane’s fascination and connection with the iconic Honda CBX is understandable. The engine note emitted from the bike’s inline 6-cylinder power plant is like nothing else in motorcycling. Visceral indeed.

Nick O’Kane, who is a national account manager for K&N, studied the history of the CBX to find the heritage and legacy that would be his inspiration for his custom street burner. The bike, which was produced in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, holds an intrigue to motorcycle enthusiasts that only grows as the marquee ages. O’Kane decided that his mission would be to, “build a minimalistic CBX racer, (and to) keep a blend of the original CBX lines and add modern sport bike components.”

The custom carbon fiber topped K&N filters complement the build beautifully

The wisdom in Nick O’Kane’s vision is clear. Since the CBX’s engine is so over-the-top, the build would need to be carried out with a keen eye and a subtle hand. Subtle, yes; but the work was detailed and labor-intensive on the bike that O’Kane purchased, a 1982 Honda CBX, as a true basket case. To start the process, the engine was stripped down, the valve train was thoroughly refurbished, and the pistons were re-ringed. After it was reassembled, the engine was vapor blasted to provide a silver satin finish on the cases.

The iconic six cylinder engine of the CBX cuts a wide berth in O'Kane's custom

The CBX frame was modified and beefed up to handle the modern suspension components. Nick O’Kane paid special attention to frame geometry and ride height with the careful selection and integration of that suspension. He then decided on forged aluminum wheels sized at 17” front and rear for just the right look for the build. The CBX then needed rubber and Pirelli race slicks fit the bill.

Of course, that big six needs to breathe, so Nick O’Kane and K&N's R&D team built a pair of custom carbon fiber topped "clamp-on" K&N air filters. To complete the powertrain, a Roland Sands Design exhaust with a carbon fiber tip was welded to a set of DG headers and then ceramic coated in black. British born O’Kane describes the sound of his custom as only someone from the land of Shakespeare could. “A symphony of six cylinders comes to life as you open the throttle. It sounds like god gargling.”

Okay, okay! Let’s talk about the build’s most talked-about feature – the stunning carbon fiber bodywork. Nick O’Kane’s goal was to retain the original lines of the CBX wherever possible. To that end, using an original tail section from a 1979 and the side panels and tank design from the 1982, carbon fiber molds were made in K&N’s own carbon fiber shop. “The body panels and tank took four months to produce,” O’Kane said. “Then we added eight coats of clear to finish the panels and tank off nicely.” ‘Nicely’ is an understatement. The carbon fiber bodywork on the CBX is magnificent. To finish off the body, a custom seat was designed and produced by the seat masters at Saddlemen Seats

The carbon fiber body work and custom Saddlemen seat really finish this build off nicely

Custom motorcycle fans agree that Nick O’Kane’s CBX is a stunner. The bike garnered a podium finish in the first stop of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show. “Taking runner up in the 2017 J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Show at the Long Beach IMS show was great. I would like to send out a big thank you to all my sponsors including K&N Filters,” O’Kane said. “The biggest thanks goes to my amazing wife Anja for her endless support of my bike building habits.”

So what will the next focus of Nick O’Kane’s ‘bike building habit’ be? “I am in the beginning stages of a Yamaha RD400 from 1974,” the builder revealed. Clearly, O’Kane is attracted to the coolest sounding engines produced in the golden years of motorcycling. We can’t wait to hear the 2-stroke scream and the artistic vision of his next creation!

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

2. dec. 2016

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

1. dec. 2016

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

1. dec. 2016

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.

K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Intake - 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado HD Duramax, 2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD Duramax & 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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. It replaces the OE Silverado intake system with a special roto-molded polyethylene intake tube to reduce airflow restrictions, combined with a self-sealing heat shield and high-flow K&N performance air filter to feed a significantly higher volume of oxygen-rich cold air to the Chevy motor. 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 Pro Series Oil Filter - GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado | Silverado HD & K2XX Chevrolet Silverado | Silverado HD

The fact that you've read this far, probably means that you care a great deal about the performance of your Chevy truck.

And the heavy duty canister is able to withstand much higher oil pressure, which often occurs during towing, fast driving, or other extreme conditions.
