Thanks Daz - that's interesting. How much was the K & N filter and do you think it was worth it in the long run? I had one in my 99 Hyundai Lantra but i can't remember if it was worth it overall. Did you have to clean it and re oil it? I remember i had to do that which was a little annoying. 7.2/100 is a pretty decent overall figure. Up this way 91 is around $1.50/L, 95 - $1.62/L and 98 - $171/L. A similar increase to you i guess. I haven't put 91 in yet so no idea how that would go but if 98 returns 0.6/100 better than 95 - that would almost be worth it.
When you add up what Hyundai will charge you over time for factory air cleaners it’s worth it. Filters are pre oiled so don’t need cleaning or oiling for 50k. Cleaned mine last night🙂 use the proper cleaning fluid and let soak for 10 minutes then rinse under tap - air dry - re-oil, good for another 50 k 98 won’t be any benefit without being tuned for it, 95 at least has cleaners added so better for fuel system, tell Hyundai service you don’t require their fuel system treatment
K&N filters have come a long way since my rally days. Had them fitted to my 40DCOE sidedraft Webbers on my Datsun 1600 (well, 1800 actually)Clean and reoil after every event. But we'll worth it.

I used a similar Webber on the Mini but the 45 Weber 45 DCOE - Weber Performance Carburettors Weber Performance Carburettors the induction sound was music to my ears Yeah the K&N filters are great, think I've used them in every car I've owned since 87
My engine wasn't up to needing 45s.Two 40s suited it just right.

Needed 100 octane to run properly. Bought the motor second hand so I'm not sure what was done to it. Just the twin SU's though.
Some good results Mickd!Have you noticed the Kona accum getting better as more kms go on the car?My accum for the nline is 7.7km so far with 2200km on the clock and a bit of a booting here and there.

Just the twin SU's though.Probably find the head was ported and polished with a few thou shaved off to raise compression, that was generally the most common thing to do to them.You likely wouldn't have been able to do much more if needing to keep it within the club spec class restrictions.
No regulations on engines in motorkhanas. All about wheelbase for sedans and then there were the specials.I do know it was 1310 cc

I'm using an ITG foam panel filter. ITG PROFILTER i30 N-LINE | N Garage ITG | High Performance Automotive Air FiltersPerformance wise there wouldn't be not much difference between the ITG & the K&N. But foam has been proven to filter dust & dirt better.While keeping the same amount of air flow. So if you drive in dusty conditions, it's well worth having. They clean & re-oil the same.
