European Mitsubishi Colt Owners Add Performance with K&N Induction Kit

Jul 25, 2008

Mitsubishi unveiled the 2008 Colt at the Frankfurt Motor Show because of its best seller status in Germany. The Colt is also a staple in the European market, especially in Italy and Spain.

K&N Engineering's 57-0672 for the Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 liter engine and Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 liter engine.

K&N Engineering has developed a performance air induction system, the 57-0672, for several European models of the Mitsubishi Colt. See the complete applications list below.

The K&N air intake system is equipped with a K&N lifetime air filter. The cold air hose is positioned toward the bumper vent to obtain a steady supply of cool fresh air. The silicone hose is designed to replace the vent hose from the stock air system. K&N designed this induction kit to achieve extra horsepower by picking up the coolest air possible

Custom mounting hardware to fit specific European Colt models is also included. This hardware allows the K&N air filter to remain firmly in place so it feeds cool free flowing air into the engine to help improve performance. K&N also provides a stabilizer with brackets. All adaptors are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicone or reinforced nylon for longevity.

K&N air intake kits are easy to assemble, usually in 90 minutes or less and come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. Once assembled the 57-0672 is designed to free your vehicle from much of the original air box restriction while providing power gain and excellent filtration.

Applications are as follows:
2012 MITSUBISHI COLT VI 1.3L L4
2011 MITSUBISHI COLT VI 1.3L L4
2010 MITSUBISHI COLT VI 1.3L L4

Jul 25, 2008

K&N Engineering has developed a performance air intake system (57-2573) that is street legal in 50 states for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Ford Explorer with 4.6 liter V8 engine. K&N dynamometer testing shows an estimated gain of 11 horsepower at 4500 rpm.

To immediately see the benefits of a K&N air intake system, simply replace the Explorer’s original intake assembly with the 57-2573. Cooler outside air is drawn through a washable and reusable K&N chrome top air filter (RF-1048) for more power and filtering capacity.

A powder coated steel heat shield replaces the stock air box and protects the K&N air filter while isolating it from engine heat. The 57-2573 uses the OE Mass Airflow Sensor. Although the MAF is re-positioned to gain the benefits of additional horsepower, no computer programming is required.

The K&N air intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools and comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Pro 2 class star Todd LeDuc won both main events in Pomona, California and is third in the overall standings. His younger brother Kyle LeDuc is fifth in overall points in the Pro 4 class. Team leader Curt LeDuc has a trio of top 10s and is sixth overall in Pro 4. Freestyle motocross legend Brian Deegan, a novice at racing on four wheels, has three top 10s and is tenth overall in the Pro Lite Class.

“I’m happy that we’re close in points,” said Kyle LeDuc. “We’ve made a statement so far this year with my Rockstar Makita Ford. We’ve qualified on the pole and we’ve run up front, but my goal is to win.”

Both brothers have won in Chula Vista previously and enjoy racing at the facility. Kyle LeDuc has taken the checkered flag there four times in the Pro Lite Class and Todd LeDuc has three wins in Pro 2, including last year’s season finale.

“The track is huge and it’s exciting,” said Kyle LeDuc. “It’s more of a race track than Pomona, with ups and downs and lefts and rights. It’s an awesome track.”

LeDuc’s two new Ford trucks are equipped with K&N Engineering products. “We’ve had a lot of changes but one thing that has remained is our relationship with K&N Engineering,” said LeDuc. “K&N products are reliable and work for us on the track. Team LeDuc Rockstar Makita uses K&N oil filters HP-5001 and HP-4004, K&N air filter E-3760, K&N XStream air flow top filter 66-3070 and K&N crankcase vent filters 62-1512 and 62-1514.

Rum Run Boat Races from Long Beach to Catalina Island and Back Action Packed

Jul 24, 2008

The endurance race pits high-performance boaters on the Rum Run, a race from Long Beach to Catalina Island and back. The Worthy Risk Team faced challenges from the start.

At their home base in Lake Tahoe, California they had to fix a valve on their Mercury 525 Racing Engine. “We ended up installing our backup engine from last year’s racing season,” said Jack Crouse of Worthy Racing. “Our backup engine had a cracked cylinder and Brad had to borrow his wife’s motor, which was only half-built.”

Johnson and Crouse finished the motor in hours and retrofit it to the engine on the day they had to drive to Long Beach. They took their 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD truck equipped with a K&N air intake system to the race. “We drove all night, and the good news was our K&N air intake kit gave us better gas mileage and additional tow power,” said Johnson. “The bad news was we had zero sleep and when we hit Long Beach, they rented our hotel rooms to someone else. We spent the next several hours setting up shop at the dry pits.”

Worthy Racing took its new motor in the Catalina Channel for test runs the next morning. “Everything worked great,” said Crouse. “Our pits were on a nice strip of lawn overlooking Long Beach Harbor. We decorated it with a K&N Engineering banner and passed out K&N product brochures and K&N decals.”

On race day Team Worthy Risk lined up behind the pace boats. The green flag came down and it was time to drag race. “The turn one marker came up fast and we were tied with three boats for the lead,” said Johnson. “We backed off at the marker because there was no room. We were squeezed out by bigger boats. We continued through the chop. Our K&N oil filter (HP-6002) worked great. It did its job as always.”

Five foot swells came in sets when they hit the open ocean. “We hit the first swell at 95 mph and slammed down hard,” said Johnson. “Our GPS system flew out of the cradle and hit the firewall behind our heads. It disappeared, and along with it went our navigation system.”

As Catalina Island came into view Worthy Risk went dead in the water due to ignition failure. “We were victim to a tiny electromechanical device, but it was a wild seven minutes,” said Johnson. “All three boats in our class broke down and we ended up in third place. Everyone came home a winner.”
