[TR] TR air filters (K&N)

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi all;
 
I read the results of some research a while ago on air filters (not  
necessarily TR-specific). Perhaps it was even on this list, I am not sure.  
Anyway, the research results concluded that one cheap, easy and highly effective  
filtering method is to fit a ram pipe with metal kitchen strainer material 
over  it (like a tea strainer), then a piece of shop-vac foam over that, with 
both the  strainer material and the foam secured with a jubilee clip. The 
steel strainer  material stops the foam from being sucked down the ram pipe.
 
I'm using this on my TR now. I decided to richen the mixture a little due  
to the increased air flow. I'm not in a position to tell you if this 
filtering  method is a success or not; I was just following the recommendation from 
this  research. I'll see if I can find where I might have it; can't 
remember the  source.
