The engine in the Mazda B4000 series is the same as the one used in the Ford
Ranger 4.0l V6 for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 models. This allowed K&N to design one
intake to fit both models. With the addition of K&N's new 77-Series High-Flow
Performance Kit (77-2561KP) Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 and Mazda B4000
4.0l V6 owners can realize an 11+ horsepower gain while driving.
K&N's 77-2561KP Intake Kit for Ford Ranger and Mazda B4000
The 77-Series Intakes' show-quality appearance has under-the-hood style with
a polished aluminum finish perfect for the Ford Ranger and Mazda B4000.
K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they
smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your truck's engine to utilize a
larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more power
and torque when you need it.
77-Series Intakes are designed to be installed with simple hand tools in
under 90 minutes, is street legal in most states and includes the famous K&N
Million Mile Warranty.
K&N 1955 Chevy on display at SEMA in November 2005.
Our ‘55 Chevy 210 sat in the garage of K&N Engineering for years, just a shell
of its former self, conjuring images of a ghostly past of Elvis Presley haircuts
and poodle skirts.
We purchased it for $11,000 when it was 45 years old from a man in Hemet,
California. The primer was nearly done on our Chevy’s body, the fenders and
doors were painted red. It sat in our garage for 5 more years unchanged, but
when the Chevy turned 50, there was a sudden urgency in the air. K&N had a plan
to restore it for SEMA (The Specialty Equipment Market Association) 2005.
“We decided to do it sometime around the end of August,” said John Hudson, K&N
shop supervisor, one of the key players in the restoration process. “The first
thing we did was take it apart, next we had it sandblasted.” After that, it was
time have the paint job done.
When that was finished we brought the ’55 Chevy back to K&N Engineering in
Riverside, California, evoking a momentum that began a 20 day restoration
process that took us into the wee hours of the morning, sometimes seven days a
week.
”We only had 20 days before SEMA and restoring it became our day and night job,”
said Brad Beltinck, K&N Special Projects Supervisor, another key player in the
55’ Chevy project. “We just put our heads together, got the parts, went to the
next part, put it together and went to the next part.”
K&N decided to go with a stock look and just a hint of retro. The colors had to
stand out, the way General Motors and its domestic rivals did when they
dominated the auto market in North America back in the 50s. “Platinum & Sunset”
were selected as the exterior colors. The bench seats of our ’55 Chevy are all
original and were meticulously restored. It is a unique match to the exterior,
tan morphed with a splash of orange. The carpet is grey.
K&N put in new windshields, but all the trim and seals around the new rollup
windows are original. “It’s not from our Chevy, but they are Chevy parts from
’55 or ’56,” Beltinck said. The door trim is original, but the mirrors are after
market parts.
“Our ‘55 Chevy frame is also an after-market part, a trend for the hot-rod
industry, “said Hudson. “From there we added a set of 18- and 20-inch rims,
which were custom designed for the car.”
The Flaming River three-spoke stainless steel tilt column steering wheel is in
place along with the original dash. The only piece of aluminum surrounds the
radio. The Panasonic CQ-C990IU radio is digital, designed to be seen and heard.
“It has a screen that is programmable, we can run K&N video when the Chevy is
sitting or running,” said Beltinck.
K&N engineers tried to stay away from aluminum billet pieces. “A lot of the hot
roders use after market billet, “said Hudson. “We prefer stock and like to think
of it as showroom stock, as if we bought the car in 1955.”
The light switches are also all original and the LoKar gas pedal is powder
coated in black.
K&N worked hard to have our Chevy physically together for SEMA, it looked so
together, there was an offer of $125,000 to buy our Chevy. By the way that was
without the latest engine.
However, K&N could not part with its new baby.
Our Chevy will be fully equipped and make its debut in March 2006 at the
Goodguys Rod and Custom Show in Pleasanton, California.
We have put a General Motors small crate motor from its high performance line.
The 383 engine cranks out 425 HP. Our K&N engineers said it will go 100 plus MPH
without a problem.
Our Chevy 210 has a K&N midget air box. A 4-cylinder sprint car box modified to
fit on a ’55. We went from 4 holes to one on the bottom of the air filter. It’s
supercharged and helps maintain the clean looking theme.
“I machined the K&N logo on the filter with a milling machine called the
computer numeric control or CNC,” said Rick Daniel, a K&N Racing Development
Engineer. “The idea just came to me in a vision and it came out pretty cool.”
After Pleasanton, in June 2006, our ’55 Chevy 210 will join the Hot Rod Power
Tour in Florida. When we go on the road it will have an air conditioner and a
complete replacement set of tires. What a car!

ATV owners put their machines to work in a variety of ways and under a myriad of
conditions. From herding cattle to dusty farm use, towing trailers and running
through deep mud in the hills, K&N Engineering has developed an air filter
designed to blow through most definitions of abuse.
K&N Engineering's
HA-3098 performance air filter is designed for extended use in
dirty off-road riding and also provides clean carburetion at sea level as well
as high altitudes.
If you own a Honda TRX400 or TRX450 Foreman or Honda TRX300 Fourtrax, TRX450FE or TRX450FM Foreman you are in luck!
K&N HA-3098
Replacement Air Filter for select Honda TRX300, TRX400 and TRX450 ATV's.
The K&N HA-3098 air filter like all K&N air filters are work horses.
They typically provide longer service intervals and are designed to increase
horsepower and acceleration.
Travis Horner, a K&N customer from Iowa wrote us, "I have installed the filter
(K&N HA-3098) and have noticed a quicker throttle response and improved
horsepower since adding this to my quad."
Calvin Crossland of Alberta, Canada also purchased an HA-3098. Crossland
e-mailed K&N about the air filter, he wrote, "I have noticed a great deal of performance
since I have added the filter. I have more bottom end power and top end."
K&N replacement air filters are washable and reusable.
The K&N HA-3098 lasts up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required, depending
on driving conditions. As a rule, no ATV jet changes are required with just a
K&N filter element.
This filter is also covered by our K&N Racing and Off Road Limited Warranty. All K&N
Universal Air Filters and K&N Air Filters sold for racing and off-road use are
warranted against defective materials or workmanship for one year from date of
purchase with no mileage limitation. This includes K&N Air Filters sold for ATV and motorcycle off-highway and/or dual-purpose use.
A truck powered by a diesel engine can do more useful work per unit of energy
consumed than vehicles run by gasoline. It is one of the most efficient internal
combustion engines made, supplying power for a wide range of applications.
Wherever there are trucks, you can see diesel technology at work on any given
day.
K&N Engineering has released one of the most creative air filter designs on the
market for the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup 5.9L L6 Diesel.
Each K&N
E-0776 air filter is heavy duty, specially designed with 6 layers of
cotton in a "basket" like shape for a much larger surface area than the OEM
(original equipment manufacturer) replacement filter which is a flat panel type
filter.

Replacement Air Filter for the 2003-2009 DODGE RAM 2500 PICKUP 5.9L L6 Diesel
Engine.
Along with compression and fuel, air is a basic requirement for diesel
engine operation, and large amounts of it! Volumetric efficiency varies with
speed and load and the volume of air pumped into diesel engines increases the
importance of air filtration, meaning removing dirt and other abrasives from
incoming air.
For maximum efficiency, diesel air filter restriction should be less than 25
inches of water vacuum, compared to a gas motor which uses only 10 inches of
water restriction. Since diesels work harder at pulling air into the engine this
creates a greater opportunity for dirt and silicates to enter the engine. Dirt
or silicates in the engine can cause severe damage, including cylinder wall
wear.
The K&N E-0776 air filter's design increases air filtration efficiency and
service life maximizing the removal of dirt and other abrasives from incoming
air while providing a high flow of air to your engine. This unique design makes
maximum usage of area in the factory airbox and gets as much air inside the
engine as possible, working efficiently in dusty conditions or off road
recreational areas, along with daily commuting. The simple drop-in design
increases horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration.
One of the most wanted vehicles by consumers in 2005 is listed as the
redesigned Ford Mustang GT with retro styling. There are color options, interior
options and power options for every buyer.
When it comes to buying a new car, the selling term "options" means a whole lot
more than satellite radio and a DVD video with surround sound. K&N Engineering
has designed a custom aerodynamically engineered tube that gives the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Mustang GT even more power options.
Each K&N 63-2565 Intake Kit uses a hand designed high density polyethylene (a durable type of plastic)
intake tube that is rotationally molded and virtually eliminates air path
restriction by replacing the air filter and the entire air path to the engine.
This helps the Mustangs natural horsepower. Once installed K&N tests show the
estimated horsepower gain: 15.26 HP @ 6000 RPM.
K&N 63-2565 AirCharger Air Intake for the 4.6L Ford Mustang GT
The 2005 and 2006 Ford Mustang GT shows a gain of 15.26 horsepower at 6000 rpm with K&N's performance air intake 57-2565.
K&N Engineering has adapted the hydrocarbon trap designed by Ford
into this new intake for applications that utilize it. As the vehicle stops, the hydrocarbon gases that have not
burned, along with the fuel that is still inside the intake manifold work back
through the engine. By incorporating this honeycomb looking hydrocarbon trap
into the intake, these gases are restricted from escaping into the environment
as in the factory intake system. Also once this kit is installed, K&N guarantees
more horsepower.
It takes 90 minutes or less to install, and can last up to 100,000 miles before
service is required, depending on driving conditions. There is also a million
mile limited warranty on the K&N 63 Series Intake Kits also known as AirCharger
Air Intakes.
The K&N intake kit, installed on the Ford Mustang GT is an aggressive powerful
addition to an icon.
