The Peugeot 106 was one of the longest running production cars made in Europe.
In early 1996, the 106 received a facelift and all engines were equipped with
fuel injection. By 1998, Peugeot developed another all new 106 model.
The last Peugeot 106 rolled off the production line in 2003, but it is still
popular, especially in its home market of France.
Typhoon Air Intake System for Peugeot 106
K&N Engineering has released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-7502TS)
in powder coated silver for the 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003 Peugeot 106 1.6L L4.
The kit is a Short-ram intake system. "The Intake Kit took a long time for us to
develop," said K&N Project Designer Joost Adriaans. "There was very little room
under the hood, since it is a relatively small car. We mainly had problems with
the battery being in the way. We went through several prototype kits to get the
results, the fit and quality we were aiming for."
K&N tests show an estimated 4 horsepower gain at 5200 RPM. "The 4 horsepower is
a normal figure," said Adriaans. "A Peugeot 106 is very popular among the young
crowd. The car is relatively inexpensive due to its size, but still makes good
power."
"It takes about an hour to install this kit." This K&N Intake Kit (69-7502TS)
definitely improves performance, looks and the sound of anyone's Peugeot," said Adriaans. "Because of its popularity, it was very hard to find unmodified
vehicles. However, the group from K&N's Research and Development facility in
Eindhoven, Netherlands did a very good job on this kit."
The Toyota RAV4 four-cylinder is a car-based SUV. It's good for urban driving
with the benefits of SUV cargo room. The RAV4 also holds its own with a whole
wave of competing crossover vehicles.
Owners of the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005 Toyota RAV4 with a 2.0L
engine can benefit from a new K&N Engineering 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake
System. There are two eye-catching choices for the 69-Series Intake System.
Consumers have a choice of powder coated silver (69-8753TS) or powder coated red
(69-8753TR).
Typhoon Air Intake for Rav4 2.0L
Whatever color preference is preferred on the European market, K&N
Engineers have made sure the design on this system provides maximum power to
meet consumer demands. "Horsepower gain, measured at the wheels, is 9 horsepower
out of a 2.0L normally aspirated engine with this Intake Kit," said K&N Project
Designer Joost Adriaans. "This is a very satisfying result."
The engine design on the Toyota RAV4 allowed K&N to use a larger filter
(RC-5144) than is normally seen on European applications. The 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake Kit (69-8753TS) (69-8753-TR) is a Short Ram Intake Kit. "The filter
is positioned in sight on top of the engine," said Adriaans. "It really enhances
the look under the hood."

The K&N Filters are washable and reusable. "Our Research and Development
Engineers in Eindhoven, Holland developed the entire kit," said Adriaans. "It
includes a powder coated black heat shield that keeps engine heat away from the
filter to pick up the coolest air possible." It takes about 90 minutes or less
to install this kit.
Phil Burkart will bring his “Madman Murray” Monte Carlo to one of the most
prestigious drag races on the planet, the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals. Each Labor
Day weekend NHRA racers descend on O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. The
fabled ORP quarter mile is regarded by many as one of the smoothest on the
circuit. It is a staging ground for some of the seasons most sought after
championships.
Burkart and his Murray’s crew earned their way to a second-round finish at the
O’Reilly Mid-South Nationals in Memphis. That steamy and hot event was followed
by two days of testing on the same Indy track they will be competing on this
weekend.

“Our car was coming around a bit in Memphis, under just about the worst
possible conditions,” said Burkart. “We got a big round win there, beating a car
that qualified better than we did. We raced Eric Medlen heads-up in round two
but just got beat by a bit. With that race ending on Monday, it was a mad dash
to get up here to Indy to test for two days. We arrived here Monday night,
worked on the car for half the day Tuesday, and spent a day-and-a-half making as
many runs as we could.”
Burkart and his crew use K&N Engineering’s Premium Performance Gold Oil Filters.
The thick canister walls on the K&N Filters have extra strength and durability
which reduce the risk of damage from debris on the race track.
As Burkart begins the four day marathon he and his team are keeping tabs on
their POWERade points, as well as the competition points. “I think we need to
stop worrying about the points and just focus on making every lap the best it
can be,” he said. “We’ll have good runs and bad runs, everybody does, and we’ll
win what we deserve to win. The points will come. We’re not in the championship
hunt now, and the best thing for us is to focus on what we’re doing and where
we’re going.”

This year Burkart started the season with two semi-finals, three second-round
finishes and one first round defeat at the first six races. Three more round
wins over the next 11 races lead the team into Indy.
“We’re going to take on every round by racing to win, instead of racing not to
lose,” said Burkart. “There’s a big difference in those two approaches, racing
to win means taking some chances and being aggressive without being afraid to
make a mistake. It’s our time to be aggressive right now, and that is what we
are going to do. We have one last race with the Murray’s car, and we’re going to
take that big Madman for a twirl around the dance floor.”

On Friday, Campbell struggled and finished 15th in the preliminary
feature. On Saturday afternoon the Jeremy Campbell Motorsports crew took part in
the Snap-On Pit Crew Challenge and finished fourth in round two of the
three-round competition.
Campbell improved his qualifying run on Saturday night and won his heat with a
full straight away lead over second place. During the feature he battled his way
from the rear of the field into tenth place.
Campbell said he always uses K&N Engineering products. “K&N Filters are easy to
clean and they protect my engines,” he said. “I use both K&N Air Filters and Oil Filters on my cars.”

The World of Outlaws (WoO) season continues to unfold with Donny Schatz and his
ParkerStore No.15 J&J with Shaver power. Schatz leads the WoO series in several
categories including the point standings, victories and second place finishes.
The Fargo, North Dakota racer claimed Friday’s preliminary feature and finished
second in Saturday’s $25,000-to-win finale at Skagit Speedway. The results
helped continue the team’s assault on the 2006 crown.
Donny Schatz and ParkerStore No.15
“On Friday night, Schatz earned the pole position and led the final 29
laps of the 30-lap race. That finish locked the ParkerStore No.15 into
Saturday’s Dash event, which set the first five rows of Saturday’s feature
event. Schatz took victory in the Dash event and led 24 cars to the green flag
for the feature event.
Schatz battled Craig Dollansky for the second position during most of the race
and made a final lap pass of Dollansky to score his 14th second place finish of
the season. Over nine races this season, Schatz has followed up a runner-up
finish with a victory in the next feature event.
“We had a good weekend, but we would have liked to win both nights,” said
Schatz. “The big picture looks good, but we honesty just worry about the next
race. We’re disappointed things didn’t go a little differently in the feature
Saturday, but it will keep all of us focused on getting back to victory lane at
the next race Wednesday night.”

Schatz will have a one-night program at Southern Oregon Speedway near
Medford, Oregon. He has raced this track three times in his career. “We always
enjoy this swing racing in Washington and Oregon before heading to Calistoga,”
Schatz said. “The stress level of everyone seems to come down a little bit and
we can get back to racing and having some fun.”
Schatz won the Harvest Classic Finale at Calistoga Speedway in 2005. He has a
series best 14 victories (12 “A” feature and two preliminary). “We use K&N
Engineering products,” said Schatz. “Our K&N Carbon Fiber Airbox helps us
achieve maximum horsepower at every race.”
