Hj45 air intake (1 Viewer)

[Cabs]

Has anyone dumped the oil air filter for something else, maybe an entirely new intake? If not any info on maintaining the current setup? Unless I missed it the air filter is not discussed in the FSM. Thanks

I am currently in the process of making a custom Airbox with some large dryflow pod filters. Apparently the stock design is pretty restrictive...

What is your reason for changing? (Better performance, water tight, better filtration)...

Mostly mess my air filter actually holds oil in the pan. Performance wood be nice though

Changing to a dry element type filter from a later HJ45 should be the answer.

The words H diesel and performance just don't go together!

No doubt. But I would still like an air filter that isn’t oil bath, any ideas?

Perhaps converting your oil bath filter to a paper type element is an option?

Thanks that's what I needed now I just need to track down the parts

I doubt the power will change. But paper filters are proven to be the best type of filtration. Donaldson make a range of air filtration systems that could replace it with if you cant find a HJ45 filter.

So looking at the pic above do I just need to clean the oil out of my intake then drop in the correct paper filter? It seems all the other parts are the same. Thx for the help

I'm not sure it's that straight forward, would a filter of the dimensions in the link below fit your current filter housing?

It is a possibility.

I found a K&N filter for my '80 HJ45. I"ll try to check on that P/N and get back to you.

I'll add to the mess. The k&n box I have says e-2444 (2007) form down under. K&N site says it should be e-2440. But my filter measures OD- 6.75" ID- 4.25" H- 5.75", the K&N site by checking by size shows the e-2443 being the nearest. My filter housing just like post 6

Personally I'd go back to the oil bath if I found one, had them on older car's and tractors the work great just a pain to clean
