AIR FILTER HELP

[greekmix]

Guys

does anyone know what is the correct part number for the V8 Esprit K&N filter?

I am trying to locate the right size but I am getting mixed messages from suppliers.

The Lotus part number I have which should fit all V8 including the Sport 350 is A907E6182Z and I would possibly need two of them.

Can anyone help with the K&N part number please!!!

Thank in advance

I believe the part numbers for the filters are in the Parts Cross Reference List

Thats what I thought but the people at K&N are saying the opposite have a look here as I thought the K&N pan is

33-2784

But the products listed at K&N are not saying that. http://www.knfilters.com/search/applicatio...px?Prod=33-2784

I think its these ones: K&N part number 33-2547. http://store.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2547

Peter is correct - originally a Vauxhall Nova application.

I bought from the same source and they were very swift in supplying the parts.

Thanks guys

If thats the case the reference parts list is wrong.

I hope you are right !!!

The first number you gave us is for 4 cylinders by the looks of it, so it may not be wrong afterall.

Dave you are right!!!

In fact the local Lotus dealer provided me with this part number!!! but I never checked it

I suppose trusted his part!!! DEALERS HHHHHHHHHHHH

The one in the V8 cross reference is correct as I ordered mine from K&N with this number.

Slight variation of the topic, but what do K&N's sound like when gunning it in the V8? Can you hear it being different than the stock air filters?

[act2007]

I can't really tell any difference w/the K&N's. The cats makes the biggest difference.

I can say that the diffrence is small in performance maybe 2 to 3 HP however the sound is notisible on the 2.2 ltr cars.

I am not sure about the V8 yet!!

[talon]

doesn't make an appreciable difference in sound.

Air filters on the V8 are a pain in the ass to replace. Why would they put unreachable bolts on the bottom and not clips?

this question is 'not answered' now for years ! You're not the first one to mention it, an probably not the last...

All we can say: a warm welcome to the V8 club !! The air-cleaner elements are just one of the strange conceptions you will notice over time..
