I decided it was about time I cleaned my K&N panel filter since I hadn't done it in a while. I was shocked at the amount of $hit stuck in it. I literally got a little pile of dirt and sand and bugs when I tapped it on the cement.

My OSCAI has a forward facing scoop on the bottom and I don't remember driving through any swamps...

So just watch out and clean or change your filter often with this setup.

yup.... i have about 5k miles on my K&N with the same setup and it has some crap in it. I knock out all the extra bugs and crap out of my filter often though. But, if you do have such a setup, cleaning the filter more often would be wise

Hey i have an engineering question for you. what do you think about bridging the signal from BOTH downpipe O2 sensors to get a more accurate reading. my a/f guage is not very accurate, like everyone else's. i'll try anything to get this to work.

I don't seem to have that problem. But then again I keep the OSCAI tube tucked inside the splash guard. That probably explains it.

Hmmm, if you hooked the sensors up in parallel to the guage, that would work. But I dont see any reason it would be more accurate. The most accurate way to do it is to install a seperate wide-band lambda sensor and not rely on the narrow-band factory units.

me and confused were talking about it at maxus, we felt that if you had a signal from EACH bank of the engine it might be more accurate, different cyclinders act different. So all you would have to do it tap the other one and get a Y, 2 to 1, connector and bling bling. Wouldn't the voltage be too high?? I thought you would need a 1/2 reducer or something, i'm just guessing now. that's why i asked the engineering man.
