Max power style mod - Food dying s2000 filter......

[Dani_B19]

Totally random but im stuck in a hotel bord so.

Im going to order a filter from gsf later and wondered, could i use red food dye and dye the paper element red? Obviously id leave it to fully dry out before use! Would it take and could it cause any issues? Cant see it doing any harm but wanted to ask lol.

Hahaha! This thread should be called "Ghetto mods of the Max Power days" haha!

Seriously though... I can't see why it would damage it tbh. I'd be more inclined to use clothing dye though, because it is cotton you're dying after all. Just make sure it's totally dry before fitting it as you would when washing a filter

 

[JudderMan]

LOL that's boredom at its best. Can't see why it would damage anything.

 

[cecilthesausage]

Dip one side one colour.... And the other side another colour Dani.....

 

[Dani_B19]

Thats it, ive got todo it now haha. Is clothes dye cheaper than food dye?

 

[Dani_B19]

Haha low the comments as well guys. Title changed too .

 

[superkarl]

You can buy red ones you crazy fool!

 

[Dani_B19]

I know that mate but their twice the price lol, unless you know different?

 

[s3dave]

Can see danis hotel room full of red dye and picks up a £200 bill....Haha

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Can't see it staying red for long when fitted

Mate, you're asking the wrong crowd haha go on some trinny and susanna forum or some sh*t lol

 

[IFFY_77]

Lmfao I'm getting one tomorrow from gsf and straight to buy sum cloth dye from blinds hahaha

 

[Dani_B19]

Lmfao at dave, i wont be paying, in 3 weeks business trip, ill be like just charge it to the company haha.

Ok say been digging, prawn posted a red filter for £22.50 i think delivered, may get that but i was thinking, were going to have to change these filters every 12 months arnt we, its going to get ****** dear dont you think?

 

[IFFY_77]

Well Dani I kind of thought the same but then again u will have a brand new fresh breathing filter every year and will not have to spend a penny on air filter cleaning products. or you can buy this induction kit it's a bargain Gruppe M Carbon Fibre Performance Ram Air Induction Kit - Audi S3 (8L) - FRI-0186 | PPCGB

 

[Dani_B19]

Lmfao, i knew when i saw that youd posted a link up it was going to be something stupid, who the **** would pay for that though
that is a valid point though about a clean filter every year.

What's going on with the S2K filters! What was wrong with te jetex and giving it a quick clean every few months!? Am I now in the wrong crowd with my jetex

 

[IFFY_77]

You of all ppl westy stop living in the past lol plus the S2k filter is bigger and you know what they say about size

 

[Dani_B19]

Havent you seen the thread ben started westy? And also in jardos thread? On jardos a3 he gained 4g/s so on high ouput cars its possible the gains will be multiplied.

 

[cecilthesausage]

Well if Jardos got one....

 

[Danny Cawsey]

If you want large and red then there is this option which is pretty cheap. might give it a try my self as mines pretty old and small.

Nah mate, we're the cool ones not blowing cash every time we need to do a service. Instead we just do a bit of cleaning It'll be good once some real testing is done on the dyno. My money says there's nowt difference between a new Jetex vs. a new S2000 paper filter.

I have been reading that thread but I thought the S2k filter was just a cheaper alternative to the jetex. Are you now telling me that people are seeing an improvement over the jetex?

 

[Dani_B19]

Im sayig jardo has claimed an improvement over the jetex, they are also going to by testing the filter on phil millers ko4 tqs so that will be interesting too as i believe hes trying to reach the 300bhp mark like yourself.
