Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I don't think it's that bad, can get my VCM otr filter out in under 5 mins & have a second filter ready to go.I would switch back to OTR if there was one where filter was easily removed.
OTR will perform best but will collect all dirt and sand very quickly. In 2000 or 3000 km the filter will be filthy.
That is the main reason I switched rotofab.
I don't mind cleaning the filter frequently but not where the whole intake needs to come out and be pulled apart. I am amazed the neither VCM or Harrop cam up with a better solution.
Letterbox style slot to insert the filter on top of otr cai would solve this. No major redesign would be needed.
At some stage I was thinking of modifying stock Harrop OTR to make the slot opening on top with simple alloy door to close it up....
They do get filthy.Good tip on cleaning the OTR. I haven't cleaned mine for probably 10k. Didn't realise they needed to be done every 2k. Will get onto cleaning mine this week.
100% and absolutely keep a second filter on hand.They do get filthy.
my harrop is mafless and its still a painI found Harrop design harder as maf sits deeper into the back of the housing. Pain in the neck to remove and put back on. ...
