k47 Air filter housing

[Darkrider]

What are the advantages of this box?

It is pretty much a factory Cold air intake/high flow intake set up

Someone just listed one in the for sale section for 6.2/6.5 diesel on a diesel site, it is in Canada .....

I'd just get the ssdieselsupply intake instead... in fact... I did.

bad idea, that setup is a hot air sucker and increases your egt's from the intake charge already being warmer air

While I don't know you to make inaccurate statements, I would welcome empriacle proof of this statement, because the "SRI vs CAI" debate has raged for nearly 2 decades now, and the overwhelming body of evidence points toward it making nominal to no difference.

Additionally, consider that all of the plastic under the hood absorbs heat from the engine bay and transmits that to the intake charge, so reducing the amount of time that the air is trapped in an intake tract could result in it picking up less heat. This argument can be made back and forth, so don't consider me a proponent of one side or another, just playing devil's advocate.

Regardless, if you're worried about intake charge temp on anything turbo.. an intercooler will be SUBSTANTIALLY more effective than worrying about your pre-turbo air source.

i'll have to find the thread on dieselplace, it was proven those kits pull heat(diesel gets far hotter under the hood than a gasser) and on a diesel it is more critical as the intake temps effect the egt's.

a intercooler would be a outstanding addition as you can also turn the turbo pressure up and it will combat the extra heat the turbo will build turned up

Beyond intercoolers and hood deletes, IMO no such thing as a cold air intake. Just sayin'...

the ssdiesel one has intake temps 40 degrees warmer than the stock k47 air cleaner system

Yeah, i have also heard the ssdiesel CAI is crap. I also read somewhere, of a conversation someone had with Heath Diesel. The owner of Heath told this fellow, the best setup is a k47 box and k&n type filter.

Any validation or debunking of those who think just a plain old paper filter is better than K/N or the like? I run a conical K/N with a prefilter on an Airaid set-up, and seems just fine. Thoughts? Don't mean to take the thread in a new direction, but it's what I'm good at...
