Air filter of zero resistance

The zero-resistance air filter isan integral component of the tuning motor. This device has a fundamental difference from the part used usually. Zero-resistance filters differ from traditional filter elements. Thus, conventional paper is used, and the zero-resistance air filter as a working element contains cotton.

The advantage of cotton is that this materialhas a lower density (compared to paper). The filter paper has a density of about 180 g per square meter, while cotton has a density of 70-80 grams per square meter. In addition, special impregnations for the material are also used to improve cleaning.

An air filter of zero resistance canhave different shapes. There are such models, the installation of which in the regular place is carried out without rework. The most effective are conical and cylindrical air filters. This is mainly due to the fact that the area of ​​such a working surface is the most optimal. In addition, the intake of air is unimpeded, the flow of air does not interfere with the design features typical of the standard housing. Perhaps the only difficulty can be to ensure good tightness and rigidity of fastening.

An air filter of zero resistance helps reduce air resistance at the inlet. Thus, a certain increase in power is provided, as well as torque at medium revs.

It should be said that in most casesInstallation on the motor of a standard complete set of effect will not give almost. The VAZ air filter should be installed on the engine in combination with a number of other modifications, otherwise the air will meet various obstacles. Among them, for example, joints of the collector, cylinder head. The zero-resistance air filter can also be installed with the supply of colder air.

Experts recommend purchasing a part onlyin specialized stores. Do not buy cheap filters, as practice shows that such parts do not do their job well, which leads to accelerated engine wear.

Advantages of such an airfilter, according to some experts, are undeniable. First of all, the item is purchased once. The service that is required for it is cleaning through a certain number of kilometers of mileage - every five thousand, as a rule. However, it should be said that the frequency of replacement or cleaning depends mainly on the operating conditions of the car.

Installing the filter allows you to increase power inan average of two to seven percent. At the same time, fuel consumption does not increase. In addition, there is an increase in torque on all crankshaft speed ranges.

It is important to note the safety of the air filter. This is due to the fact that there is no risk of damage to the motor due to incomplete airflow cleaning.

There are, of course, and minuses of this detail. When cleaning, the filter must be treated with a special solution, which has a relatively high cost, as, indeed, the filter itself. If the replacement of the part is not carried out in time, fuel consumption may increase in the car. Together with this, the capacity of the power unit will decrease. In some cases, the filter grease enters the receiver. This can negatively affect the condition of the car. Of course, they produce "dry" filters, however, more often oiled.

In any case, when purchasing a part, you should take into account the parameters of the car's engine. In order not to make a mistake, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified professional.
