For Sale - K&N Washable Lifetime Performance Air Filter E-2940

Not sure which model this fits. Fitment seemed kinda funky on my late model fj60 2f. Perhaps there's trick i'm missing, and perhaps the earlier fj's will have better luck. This Part says discontinued all over the internet, and these were apparently somewhat sought after 5-10 years. Still brand...

You absolutely should not use it, throw it in the bin.
Run a K&N on a track car if you have to, but not anything you use on the street and definitely not anything you want to look after or use off-road.
A 4wd publication did some testing in Oz a while ago, and tested a genuine Toyota filter, Terrain Tamer, Ryco (I think) and K&N.
If we call Toyota's filtration quality 100, Terrain Tamer was around 98, Ryco was early 90s, K&N was about 60.
Not worth it for what would be a very marginal gain. If you want more power, ensure everything is healthy (ignition, fuel, compression etc) add some headers and a 2.5 inch exhaust and do something with the camshaft. If the head is off anyway, match the ports, clean up the runners etc. Don't feed your engine on dust with a so-called high flow filter.

Well the engine is all back together, I think the machine shop “balanced” cam.

Just trying to get it stop leaking fuel out of fuel line, can’t get the nut to seat.

Expecting an actual increase in performance from this if I can figure it out…. LOL
