Hi Guys,
im pretty new here, im Nath from Maidstone in Kent. so Hi to all reading this. Basically iv just taken my Rx7 off the road for the winter, and have decided to tidy up the engine bay. i have a RE-Amemiya air filter and noticed it was real dirty so decided to clean the filter element. I decided to wash the foam. but itfell apart before i even got it near the sink. So i need a replacement. All id like to know is, can i just make my own from foam ? or is the foam a special type of foam ?? as iv only managed to find it in 1 place on the i-net and its £85, just for a bit of foam!

Any help is welcome,
Cheers Guys

 

When I needed a filter for my Dellorto side draft setup on my FB, I used foam for dirtbike airfilters, thinking that foam is foam as long as it filters well enough, but it ended up not flowing enough. The car wouldnt rev over 4k or so, dry or oiled, it wouldnt work... So you might need a specific kind of foam/element. I dont know what the RE-A filter looks like, but if it looks anything like the HKS pod styles, you can buy replacement elements for those here.
