If you’re looking for optimal performance from your car, there are a lot of things you can check. Properly inflated tires and quality fuel are two big factors for getting the most out of your vehicle, but airflow is central to your engine’s performance. Poor airflow will change your fuel economy, cause rough idling, or lead to stalling. Purchasing a new air intake system isn’t always necessary. You could benefit from installing a new K&N air filter.
What to Know About Air Intake Systems
The air intake system is what supplies your engine with continuous airflow to provide power and support better gas mileage. The entire system is made up of several components working together to bring air in from outside the vehicle, mix it with gas and send it through the engine cylinders to create physical energy. The air filter is the first main part of the system. Its job is to keep dirt or other particles out of the air coming into the engine for a clean burn.
The air filter prevents contaminants from getting into the intake systems and clogging up the different parts. It also allows pure oxygen to combine with the gas for a more efficient combustion reaction. This results in better power and engine performance.
Why You Should Consider K&N Filters
When it comes to airflow, more air to your engine equals more power. A K&N filter is much larger than a standard OEM air filter, and this oversized replacement will bring more air into the engine. You will notice an increase in acceleration and added horsepower by upgrading to a K&N filter. K&N uses shorter, fatter tubing to give the air a shorter route to the engine and uses a cotton conical filter specially fitted into a sealed box.
How To Install
Turn off the ignition before you replace your filter. Unlatch the housing for the air filter and remove the old filter. You may have to remove the coupling hose to get into the air cleaner box. Install the K&N air filter to the filter adapter and hold it secure using a hose clamp. Replace the housing and coupling hose.
A clean air filter will have immediate results on your engine’s performance. Shop for K&N filters and parts at Morris 4x4 to give your vehicle a boost.
Jeep Wrangler JK Intake Manifolds & Components -K&N Filters
Many Jeep Wrangler JK owners love forging their own paths and taking in the fresh air. Your ride also loves and needs fresh air to ensure the cylinders are firing as they should. The intake manifold is the essential component to make that happen. It is also a part that may be worth upgrading to enhance your off-road ride.
What Are Intake Manifolds?
For your fuel-injected engine to run right, it needs the perfect mix of fuel and air. The intake manifold ensures that the needed high air volume is maintained and evenly distributed between cylinders. For carbureted engines, its function is to distribute the air-fuel mix to the cylinders via the carburetor. Key components of the intake manifold are the plenum and runners. The plenum works like an air reservoir while the runners carry the air to where it needs to go. The size of both of them are key to engine performance, which is why an upgrade may be worthwhile.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Jeep Wrangler JK's Intake Manifolds
Oftentimes, the factory intake manifold is purely a functional component. While consistent, they aren’t designed for power. Choosing to upgrade means boosting horsepower and potentially altering the RPM range, which helps keep your engine from overworking on rugged terrain. The length of the runners and size of the plenum play key roles in engine performance. Ensuring the brackets, seals and other components are working right also is vital to get the best performance possible. When you are ready to upgrade, Morris 4x4 makes finding what you need easy.
How To Replace Your Intake Manifold & Components
Depending on what is being replaced, such as the plenum or gaskets, the time and effort needed for installation will vary. Luckily, when replacing the factory manifold, you typically won’t need to make any other modifications to your engine. Still, any replacement will require some level of expertise and tools designed for automotive repairs. Since aftermarket parts makers are focused on delivering high-quality, reliable parts, they also strive to make installation as easy as possible. Regardless of the part you purchase, it will come with detailed instructions and links to videos to help with the installation.
