What are the dangers of high flow style?

There are no downsides to installing a high flow style. Simply put, it just consumes a bit more fuel. First, the dangers often mentioned online mainly include the following points.

1. Installing a high flow model will increase the intake volume, and dust will also increase proportionally. At first glance, this seems correct, but it is actually wrong. Because the premise of this statement is that the intake area must be the same. The intake area is affected by the material. High flow pattern materials are different from original pattern materials. For example, the original factory style is paper-based, which belongs to dry filtration, while the high flow style is oil-based filtration. The intake volume increases, but the filtering effect will not be worse than the original factory.

2. With the increase in intake volume, the air-fuel ratio decreases, resulting in low torque loss or poor low torque performance. Throttle, flow sensor, oxygen sensor, etc. are used to adjust the air-fuel ratio. The oxygen sensor detects the combustion situation, and combined with the data stream from the flow sensor, adjusts the throttle opening to achieve a normal air-fuel ratio. The advantages of high flow types: increase intake volume, reduce engine intake resistance, and improve the intake volume and volumetric efficiency of the engine during operation. The injector will spray more gasoline to match it, allowing more fuel vapor (rather than denser) to enter the cylinder, thereby achieving the goal of increasing horsepower output.

How to clean high flow style?

1. The high flow air filter needs to be cleaned with a high-pressure air gun, just like a regular air filter. If you don't have enough ability to do it yourself, you can go to a repair shop or a 4S shop to ask professionals to clean it.

2. Generally speaking, high-performance or professional racing cars are equipped with high flow air filters to increase intake volume and improve car power. However, if a regular car modifies to a high flow air filter, the change in power will not be particularly obvious, but it will increase noise.

3. It is generally not recommended to replace the high flow air filter for small displacement family cars. It should be noted that the car's air filter should be cleaned every 5000 kilometers or so. However, some types of air filters can only be replaced and not cleaned, so be sure to pay attention when cleaning or replacing.

4. If the engine noise increases while driving, acceleration is weak, and the engine shakes, it generally means that the air filter needs to be replaced when the car is empty, and a detailed inspection is required at this time.

5. When replacing the air filter, replace it with the original product. The original air filter has a high matching degree, and there will generally be no problems in later use, avoiding unnecessary troubles.

Can high flow style modifications save fuel?

1. As long as you are the driver, you are likely to be very concerned about fuel prices. With the fluctuations in fuel prices, even if you are "indestructible", fuel prices are "invincible", easily attacking your deep pain points. People who have come from the era of 2 yuan fuel prices have a standard in their hearts; no matter how much fuel prices drop, it is still expensive. In this situation, besides complaining, what else can better vent dissatisfaction?

2. In fact, the initiative is in the hands of the car owner. Instead of complaining, it is better to make some changes. What changes can be made? For cars, it is the upgrades and modifications in the later stage. Usually, the term modification is hard to associate with economic and fuel-saving terms. Most modifications are related to performance enhancement, and the byproduct of performance enhancement is higher fuel consumption. Logically, there is no essential error, but generalizing this has influenced many people, just like some people hear the word "modification" and subconsciously associate it with "racing". In fact, some modifications can achieve fuel-saving effects.
