K&N and fuel efficiency - Suzuki Swift

shuhaib · 1st June 2006, 14:39

You can get K&N Filters for almost all cars and bikes from the main distributer OzzOne in Bangalore. Contact person is Mr. Damodar

It better not to install the filter during the rainy season. Chances of getting water inside is there which will spiol the filter. If stock replacement, then its fine.

approximately, how much performance gain is attained in swift with K&N filters, in percentage or bhp figures?

Raps · 19th June 2006, 11:48

I recently fitted K&N XStream Filter for my swift, There is real difference in the performance interms of pickup at lowers rpms. Its definetly worth going in for k&N filter and matters a lot. I will post the pics.

Looks like teh same setup as in Shuhaib's car. But, his K&N was picking up too much of dust and hot air in that location ( is teh air con fan/ or so on teh left side? ) and he wanted to change teh location...

I did not find any issues in terms of dust or hot air picking up. After KN filter being fitted, I had taken my car for a long drive, Its one of the dusty roads that I had taken my swift out, Bangalore - Malavalli - Shivanasamudra and back.

Methods Automotive - From last 4 months they are saying that the stock replacement K&N filters are available in 2 weeks, but still no sign, thats the reason I went in for XStream filters.

@Raps: How much did the plumbing cost u??

Plumbing cost me around Rs. 1600/-

honda_dude · 24th June 2006, 20:12

hey all
i have been using K&N for quite some time now and i feel that it really adds to the power of the car.

but i think the fuel efficiency is not improved. off course i pull my car a lot due to which i dont get a good average.

but all in all a good buy

speed0mania · 25th June 2006, 03:57

hey can anyone tell me where i can get the stock replacement filter in delhi??
i mailled methods but no response !!

hellspawn · 25th June 2006, 05:03

try hperformance motorsports(nivit bhasin) or performance auto in noida.they will also install it for you.

ravibhat · 2nd August 2006, 21:23

When I checked in Bangalore regarding K and N Air Filter rate quoted is around 4.8K. they said it will imrpove FE by 1KM and performance really well.
