K&N Adds More Airflow and Performance to Your 2016-2017 Nissan Cummins Diesel
- 25 Oct 2016
As a clean-sheet-of-paper design, the Cummins 5.0 liter V8 turbo diesel brings together a compacted graphite iron (CGI) cylinder block (as used in NASCAR engines), forged steel crankshaft, and high-strength aluminum alloy heads. The engine is also fitted with a two-stage turbocharger configured to operate efficiently at both low and high engine speeds. Coupled with high pressures fuel injection system driven by integrated electronic controls, the fuel system, along with turbo contributes to peak torque of 555 lb-ft and 310 horsepower. If turbo diesel engines can’t get enough of one thing, it’s intake air. A greater volume of air is compressed by the turbo, to which the engine’s computer responds by adding incremental fuel. A fast, simple, and inexpensive way to increase the airflow into your Cummins engine Titan is the installation of a K&N replacement air filter, 33-5048. Installing a K&N filter provides an incremental increase of air flow to the engine up to 50%.
K&N verifies the performance of each filter design through the company’s in-house efficiency testing laboratory, in compliance with ISO 5011 standards. This rigorous testing confirms that K&N filters provide a high volume of intake airflow without sacrificing engine longevity. And once you’ve installed your K&N 33-5048 air filter you’ve eliminated the need to purchase and replace filters for the life of your diesel Titan. The only maintenance necessary is a quick DIY job. At intervals of 50,000 miles (depending on your driving conditions) simply use the K&N air filter cleaning kit to clean and refresh your air filter. Your one K&N air filter is designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement. The 33-5048 replacement filter fits the following vehicles: 2017 NISSAN TITAN XD 5.0L V8 Diesel Engine - All Models | |||
