thank you.

Had a look on a repco program with all the 4wd part numbers listed and it didn't turn up a answer so maybe get in contact with K&N directly

i think it is e-2444 have a look on ebay type in k&n land cruiser it will come up

[giacomo.m]

thank you for your reply.
also I task that the E2444 is that right one. I have already acquired the E2443 but it does not go well, because it has two open sides. while the E2444 has the side low closed on the box airfilter, as it genuine part.

Mate I wouldnt run a K&N filter in a car.

I used to run K&N`s in my motorbikes and got for to much dust into the airbox.I put standard cleaner back on and no more dust.

stick with the factory cleanable paper element. K&N is junk.

Use the factory paper element in conjunction with one of these,

Your car will perform heaps better.

What are your experiences with K & N to make you say they are junk.

I think the purpose of an air FILTER is to prevent dust entering the engine.

Unfortunately, K&N's do not. Visible dust in the inlet tract of a car running a well serviced K&N is unacceptable. That is my experience.

really? personally i've not had a problem with the filters, had one in my old road car for about 60,000 no troubles, got one in my cruiser now and so far so good. THe filter wasn't over serviced was it? I noticed in the literature it says the a small amount of stuff in the filter improves filtration ? Were your ones properly oiled? this makes a difference. Guess i'll have to keep an eye on my inlet tract for any particles and crap

cheers

No problems with my K&N. Lots of dirt and dust pre filter but none post filter. Maybe those with problems should check sealing at filter ends before they blame the filter for letting the dust through.

All the literature backs up my anecdotal findings. K&N's, under test, permit far larger particles into the engine than a stock paper filter. In the worst cases, you can see them, (like in the car I was working on, and no, there were no leaks and no, it wasn't an incorrect filter, it was infact, much larger than necessary for the job, generally a good thing)

Yes, filters do filter better when dirty when clean. This is fact. however, if a filter has to be dirty in order to filter adequately, then it's not up to the job. Put a clean K&N up to the light - you can see light though it.

There's no magic in their operation - for a K&N to flow more air than a paper filter, it can't filter as well as a paper filter.

This topic has been covered heaps of times in general tech. MAYBE run one in a road car.... maybe. In a car that sees dirt roads and australian dust? no way. They are just inadequate.

If you want the filtration of a paper filter and more flow than you have now, fit a bigger paper filter . Simple. (assuming it is the filter element that is the problem not the ducting)

Do a search on K&N in general tech. There is some excellent science posted by isuzurover on K&N performance.

if these threads don't convince you, nothing will. I used to be a fan of foam filters, thinking they had better breathability and were cheaper TCO, however independent test resuts certainly do not support this.

Thanks for the tip dumbdunce. I will have to have a look in my inlets for any dust and probably blow the old paper element out and re-install it. Junk indeed.
