31 Jan 2007

The MG Rover line has a long history of owners, from Leyland to BMW to a collaborative deal with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. It was the last independent mass-production car manufacturer in the British motor industry.

Replacement Air Filter for Rover 75, MG ZT190, ZT180, ZT160 and ZT-T

K&N Engineering has released 33-2890 for the MG Rover. The washable, reusable, flat panel air filter is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent filtration.

K&N has sold more than twenty million replacement air filters and makes the world's best air filter by making good use of our experience and knowledge. The effectiveness of K&N Air Filters is related to the type of cotton we use, the weave of the individual cotton strands, the process by which it is woven, the chemistry of the oil, the oil's viscosity and absorbency along with the structural aspects of the aluminum wire.

K&N invented the concept of washable, reusable filters more than 35 years ago. There is a great deal of engineering behind every K&N Filter. Each filter is custom designed to fit in the factory air box and requires no modifications.

K&N's stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million-Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need.

Volkswagen Polo Gets Added Performance with New K&N Typhoon Air Intake System

31 Jan 2007

Power on the Volkswagen Polo comes from one of the biggest engines in its class, a 1.6 liter four cylinder unit.

Air Intake System for Volkswagen Polo

K&N Engineering has released a new 69-series Typhoon Air Intake (69-9750TWR) in red with a wrinkle finish for the 1998 to 2001 Polo with a 1.6 liter engine. See below for specific vehicle applications.

"It is a complete cold air intake," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "The K&N Air Filter (RC-9630) mounts under the front of the bumper. This allows the typhoon to get a consistent flow of cool fresh air for additional power."

The aerodynamic design was made by K&N Engineers to fit the Polo. "The cold air intake tube comes in two pieces for easy installation," said Heck. "You can also remove the lower cold air intake tube and clamp the filter on the upper tube of the intake kit. This positions the K&N chrome top air filter higher in the engine during bad weather."

It takes about an hour to install this kit with simple hand tools. K&N Typhoon Systems add both engine performance and under the hood aesthetics. The 69-9750TWR powder coated wrinkle red Typhoon Air Intake is a very popular color for the Polo.

The 69-9750TWR will fit the following Volkswagon Polo models:

2001 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.6L L4 F/I - Type 6N
2000 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.6L L4 F/I - Type 6N
1999 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.6L L4 F/I - Type 6N, Exc., 75BHP
1998 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 1.6L L4 F/I - Type 6N, 120/125BHP

Ford Focus Midget Series Racer Gets Promotion

30 Jan 2007

Promotions in the world of racing come with recognition and responsibility. Last year Laura Poorter drove for K&N Engineering’s Driver Development Campaign in the Ford Focus Midget Series.

“At K&N we were trying to determine the best path for Laura’s growth,” said K&N Engineering’s Sports Marketing Director Charles Maier. “We wanted to bring her up into midgets to continue her progress. Laura has the lap record in the Ford Focus class at Havasu and has the ability to drive fast. She shows promise.”

The 17-year-old Holland native is delighted with her new spot on the racing circuit.

There are a lot of emotional and physical layers to have what it takes to become a professional racer. “The commitment on all these different levels and the willingness to do what it takes to get there is important,” said Maier. “Laura is learning first hand to accept imperfect situations and to push through. We hope to continue moving Laura up through the racing ranks.”

During the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Irwindale Speedway Poorter started dead last, but managed to pass more cars than anyone else. “Her aggressiveness, along with learning how to overtake other drivers is something she is addressing,” said Maier. “Laura is very smooth.”

As she moves up to the No. 60 car, Poorter will compete on bigger tracks. So far, she’s raced on 1/3 mile. In 2007, Poorter will be on a half-mile to one- mile tracks. Her speeds will also increase to 160 mph.

She returns to the United States in February and will hit the race track in her No.60 car right away.

Teen Makes Junior Rotax Debut at Moran Raceway

29 Jan 2007

Moran Raceway in Beaumont, California is North America’s largest kart track. It is very fast with 17 turns, 23 feet in elevation changes and an 860 foot downhill front straightaway. In the Gatorz Karting Cup season opener ninety-eight entrants signed up, the most in series history.

Jacob Pearlman, 14, made his Junior Rotax debut in the Gatorz Karting Cup. Gatorz is the largest regional series of the Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge Series.

“The field was packed with high caliber racers,” said Jacob’s father Richard Pearlman. “The Canadian National Rotax Champ was there, along with at least one state champion, several local club champs, IKF race winners and several front runners from the IRL Stars of Karting National Series.”

For most of the day Jacob ran with the leaders. “Our goal was a top 5 finish and Jacob earned 5th in the 20 minute qualifying session,” said Pearlman. “After the 13 lap heat race was over, he was sixth for the start of the main and in a great position to contend for a top finish.”

Jacob had an excellent start and was running in the lead pack for the first 4 laps of the race. Another competitor attempted to pass and ran into Jacob’s No. 125 DPK Birel. “Both Jacob and his kart went into the hay bales,” said Pearlman. “My son was not hurt and the kart was okay, but the racing day was over.”

Jacob and his dad made the 160 mile round trip drive to the race from Carlsbad, California. “I was impressed with our K&N Cold Air Intake System on our GMC Yukon tow vehicle,” said Pearlman. “Towing was efficient and effortless though the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains with K&N.”

Jacob enjoyed racing with the Gatorz Rotax series. “The competition is first class and the Junior Motors are very fast and very smooth,” said Jacob. “I can’t wait for the next race at the Streets of Willow.”

In 2006, Fletcher finished 3rd in Stock Eliminator and had his best year on record by winning 7 NHRA National events. “My goal in 2007 is to win championships in Super Stock and Stock Eliminator,” said the Churchville, New York resident. “I also want to make it to 50 NHRA National event titles.”

K&N Engineering sponsors Dan Fletcher

From February through November every year, Fletcher spends weeks on the road. He uses K&N Oil Filters, (HP-3002) on his 1969 Chevrolet Camaros. “The nut on the bottom of K&N Oil Filters is an ingenious invention,” he said. “They are very easy to change. Thanks to K&N Oil Filters my engines have outlasted and outperformed, also after 400 runs between 2 cars in 2006 my engines stayed clean.”

Fletcher is preparing for the season by making improvements and upgrades on his cars. “We changed the paint jobs and are doing maintenance on the chassis,” he said. “I’m getting ready for the Winternationals at Pomona in February.”
