ok soo i had an incident where my filter popped off on start up im about to try again..(i was using fram) anywyas now i bought a honda pcx filter and just noticed that its only catching a few threads.. Did other people notice the same thing? or maybe i need a new filter adapter..I feel like its grabing 2 maybe 3 threads..Does this seem right?

I thought i rread somewhere about the greddy that the filters fit only with few threads but cant seem to fine that thread again

 

yeah i did. use a regular filter on it to get more threads on there. i had mine come off while driving and it gave me a heart attack along with a nice 1 hour stay on the side of the road waiting for a friend to bring a new filter and 5 qts of oil

 

The part number for the filter that comes with the kit is ox-02. On the back of the filter box, it shows that filter is for a 1jz or a 2jz.

I got the K&N HP-1002 which is for 2jzs and it went right on without a problem... all threads caught.

 

a normal b series filter works just fine

 

really eh .. so are you guys recommending i don't use the honda pcx filter...and get a acura filter for a b series

 

what the? Ive been using the oem honda filter for bout 2 years now and been through about 10+ filters with no issues of popping off.

 

No issues here. I have Casey's old kit. Almost 2500 miles on my first filter.

 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble... My PCX filter seemed to fit fine using the Greddy relocation kit.

FWIW - the Atlanta S2000 club refuses to allow S2K's on tracks without the Honda PCX filter. They believe that other filters don't flow adequately in VTEC and can leak or fail. If running another filter, they ask for some sort of filter retention mechanism to prevent it from blowing off.

 

Supra 2jz filter works very well. thank you for the info

 

No problem. I mean it was right there on the box... I'm not going to give out incorrect info.
