Terrano K&N air filter?

[Tribune]

OK, I know I'm asking a shed-load of newbie questions here, but Terranos are more common in your neck of the woods than they are up here in Canada!

So, is anyone running a K&N air filter in their WBYD21 Terrano? If so, what K&N part number??

I'm having a devil of a time trying to find one that works.

Thanks guys

Are you looking for k&n replacement part number?
Or were you planing on just using a pod type to bypass airbox?
That would give best for lack of restriction, but not good if around water or real dusty conditions

K&N replacement part number.

I think I may have found it though. For the European-build Terrano II, some of which were marketed as the Ford Maverick (different to the 1990s Y60 (GQ) Patrol/Safari that was sold in Oz as the Ford Maverick.

Does this look like it?

Dimensions match what I've got on my kitchen counter out of the stock Terrano air box right now.

Mate your better to stay with factory paper filter. I ran one in my truck, each oil change I get an oil analysis to see how the motor is going, with paper the oil test always come back fine, then I changed to K N, next time the guy rang me up and said what have you done, you have got 4 times as much silica-dirt in your oil, So changed back to factory paper.

Interesting.
I thought having a K&N or equivalent was the mutt's nuts, but guess it isn't.

yep like he says, the lesser air restriction means less shit is caught at the filter, I've run them before and they look cool but I'm back on standard paper filters again

theres a cone type reusable air filter at both repco or superchit i use but you do have to put a 25mm bit of wood in the bottom of the orignal houseing to make it close up tight n there way cheper than a K&N

Due to the intercooler I need to run some aftermarket air filter and K&N fits the space just fine.
After thinking about comments here though I went to the local pool shop and got a filter sock for over the K&N. 1,000 km later here is the result.

Not sure if it actually saved anything from getting into the engine, but I figure it can't do any harm.

dunno what shape and size filter your running but K&N have all sorts of washable prefilters than you run filter oil in
