Hmm, they say that if it gets dirty you didn't have to buy another one, it can be cleaned with an airgun.

edit:
Btw, have anyone tried removing the little cap on the middle?

RST · 08-19-2008, 03:44 PM

Midnite, I couldn't recommend an airgun for anything other than removing dust on the surface but some good quality poly cotton filters can be cleaned with a few buckets of soapy water (detergent not car shampoo), and plenty of rinses in plenty of cold water and a good few days drying off thoroughly in a warm cupboard / closet etc. Least I've cleaned a few good quality filters like the Super EX this way and they've come up very well. Of course there is a limit as to how dirty it is in the first place though!

I did a quick web search for Super EX + USA, but nothing much came up I'm afraid. JDM Parts, JDM Racing Accessories, Twin Plate Clutch, Turbo Kit, Fuel Injectors & other Motor Parts! came up with one match -other than that the only place I know of is Welcome to Sumopower - Number 1 for Japanese Tuning Parts but that's UK based and you're not going to get a good price here!

...I have a contact on IMOC - Home who can source direct from Japan for difficult to obtain parts -I'll drop him a PM to see if he can come up with anything for you -even some US supplier links.

Sorry -can't seem to attach the website names without these stupid titles appearing in the post window.

**edit -if yours came with a clip -did your MAF come with a little slip-on ring glued or secured around the torpeedo shaped body -make sure it did for it to work properly**

Check out "VERY RARE" super expensive KEITH RPM garage ebay.

The MAF is bolt onto the aluminum pipe that came with the EX+ filter. I have no problem with the MAF beside it idle at 1000 or 950 rpm never lower.... Is this normal??? I bleed the coolant already... but can't seem to get it down to 800rpm...

SARD Sports EX Plus Top Intake Toyota

Lion_HUN · 08-20-2008, 05:39 PM

And what if I already have the full kit, but I want to replace only the filter? Does someone sell it separetely?

I found this on the sumopower page, at the EX+ spare parts but I'm not sure if it's what I will need once my filter gets dirty enough to be replaced:

"SARD 'Sports EX+' Induction Filter Universal £75.00"

The whole kit is £160. I'm confused because I find it strange that the filter costs less than the bolt-on kit.

The Sard Sports Ex+ Filter is not Oil-able. It is a Dry element type!!!

midnite · 08-21-2008, 02:35 AM

oh ok... It look like dry type so I was worry about washing it... If it like KN then i will just wash it and oil with the kn left over i have :-) Thank guys

I think it is a dry one, plus as I know oily filters are not good for our engines! (probably for the MAF sensor)

Servin · 08-21-2008, 10:40 AM

Actually im glad you said something i looked in the link i posted up top and they have a blown up picture and yes it is a dry element type. So def dont use the oil cleaning kit and if you do wash it let it dry very throughly!

what the hell is that clip on the MAF for??

Lion_HUN · 12-31-2008, 08:11 PM

That 2 piece of plastic is part of the SARD kit. You have to glue it to the MAF to modify its diameter for correct measuring. The kit works very rough with the stock, non-modified MAF.

ha wierd, got any close ups or instruction manual on that thing? I would like to see how/where it attaches, I have a bit of a custom intake a pieced together myself and I am wondering if I should perhaps do some MAF modding myself bc of it....I wonder what the theory/technology behind it is...

Puretone if you look back through my original SARD filter fitted post there's some pics and diagrams there of the mod on the MAF. If you need anything else let me know and I'll scan/measure the parts for you if you like. The SARD kit seems the only one to modify the MAF?

Thanks buddy! Saw that again and finally realized what the hell i was looking at way back when. Now does that ring block anything at all? I noticed, from having my MAF in hands lately....long story, all the little do-dads about our MAF. Now where this ring sits there seems to be no inlets of sorts, I do know that our MAF releases the air behind where that ring sits, basically it goes in the middle/center then exits all around the outside of the MAF. I found this out whilst cleaning my MAF and got some nasty sprays in my face....
Apart from slightly narrowing the intake piping area just around the MAF, I don't get what else ring might do, perhaps just because its there it does indeed cause the air to be drawn faster thru the MAF?

first post for me for 2009.

HAPPY FREAKING BEAMS NEW YEAR!!1!`
