"eco" green filters

[bluemaumau]

ive been hearing on the radio about those new eco green filters

just wondering what peoples thoughts are on them,

apparently used on wrc cars

apparently save 16 dollars out of every 100.

seems pretty sweet

[Bling]

what is it? havent heard the ad

[Adydas]

There not the pipercross ones are they? im Very very tempted to get my hands on one of those barrel cold air intake systems.

[bluemaumau]

sorry i forgot to put that they are fuel filters

[no_8wire]

I dont see how a filter will save your fuel efficiency at all?

Unless it filters to good and makes the car run lean because of extra restriction in the line?

If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

hehe rally cars and fuel efficant dont go to together

id love to know how much a WRC car uses, when a group N WRX can use a full 65 litres in 80kays

[bluemaumau]

yea i could understand that, but perhaps thats why they use em?!

im not sure might just stick with a new factory item

http://www.greenfilter.co.nz - they are actually cotton air filters. Can't vouch for their performance/effectiveness but I guess if people like WRC teams and the BMW F1 team use them then they must be a fairly effective alternative to K & N

thats weird im sure on the radio they said it was a fuel filter, maybe not

Intake air filter on a F1 car? I didnt think they ran them.

Apparently so. I just did a quick Google search and found a bunch of FIA Technical Delegate reports from the 2006 USGP where they mentioned air filters being replaced in Parc Ferme on multiple cars. (it's actually kinda interesting reading... http://www.fia.com/resources/documents/ ... ort_06.PDF)
