The Dodge Dart was well known as an affordable and compact family car back in the 60s and 70s. Incidentally, when it was discontinued back in 1976, it was not expected to make a comeback. Well that changed when Dodge released the Dart in 2013. Dodge did a great job of keeping the Dart affordable as before while updating the overall look, feel and performance to a much more modern design for today's drivers. Once such update to the 2013 to 2014 Dodge Dart was the option to go with a1.4 liter Multiair Turbo engine. This impressive turbo has a factory rating of 160 horsepower and 184 ft-lbs of torque.
K&N Air Intake System for Dodge Dart Turbo
Since the 2013 to 2014 Dodge Dart 1.4 liter Multiair Turbo model is all about performance, one option that owners will want to look into is an air intake system. K&N's 69-2548TS air intake is an outstanding choice as it is guaranteed to increase horsepower. When tested, this air intake system added an estimated 7.2 horsepower at 4467 RPM and 8.6 ft-lbs of torque at 4300 ROM at the wheels of a 2013 to 2014 Dodge Dart with 1.4 liter engine.
The 69-2548TS air intake system was designed to be an easy way to bolt on some additional horsepower. This air intake system uses the same mounting locations as the stock air intake system keeping installation simple. In addition, this air intake should take less than 90 minutes to install on average using a few simple tools. The air intake system includes an aluminum air intake tube, a black powder coated heat shield, a high flow K&N air filter along with all of the hoses, clamps and hardware needed for installation.

The air intake tube that comes with the 69-2548TS air intake has a silver, powder coated finish that looks great and is very durable. This air intake tube was designed with three threaded fittings so you will be able to reattach the stock crankcase vent hose, theEVAP vent hose and the turbocharger's blow off valve hose. Again K&N incorporated locations for all of the stock attachments and hoses to make installation as easy as possible.
The 69-2548TS air intake system uses the K&N RU-3560 washable and reusable air filter. The air filter was chosen for its large surface area as well as its air flow and filtration characteristics. This performance air filter will provide excellent air filtration to help protect your engine. In addition to the filtration, the larger surface area also allows for this air filter to go longer between cleanings than the stock drop-in air filter. It can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions.
The 69-2548TS air intake system is perfect for your Dodge Dart as it is easy to install, it will add some serious power and it is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited warranty.
The 69-2548TS air intake system fit the following Dodge Dart models:
2014 Dodge Dart 1.4L Turbo
2013 Dodge Dart 1.4L Turbo
K&N's 77-3000KS performance air intake system is a great way to add horsepower and torque to 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Saturn Vue models with 3.5 liter engines. This air intake is easy to install, usually taking less than 90 minutes. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with K&N's Saturn Vue air intake, your engine can breathe easier and produce more power.

Included in the 77-3000KS air intake kit is a silver powder coated aluminum intake tube, a K&N high-flow performance air filter (RF-1037), a heat shield specifically designed for Saturn Vue models and other hardware needed for installation. The air intake tube is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube designed to smooth and straighten air flow and increase performance. The tube provides for connection of the factory air temperature sensor and thecrank case vent hose .
Conical air filter RF-1037 provides excellent filtration to protect your engine and because it is washable and reusable, you'll never have to buy another air filter for this K&N Saturn Vue air intake . This performance air filter may be used up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed, depending on driving conditions.

Mitchell DeJong made history with his X Games Silver Medal, becoming the youngest driver ever to reach the GRC podium
Most 15-year-olds are only just beginning the struggle to find a comfortable identity that fits them. And the search for mileposts or clues regarding a direction they might grow into over the duration can take years, including plenty of wrong turns into teenaged crazy town. Mitchell DeJong however appears to have found a loophole in the uncertainty of that development process. For a good long while now, DeJong has been fully aware that he is destined to be a racer. A really gifted racer. Since 2007 he has in fact accumulated nine total championships in just six seasons, putting him on pace to be one of the winningest off-road drivers of all time. Global Rallycross (GRC) and racing in the X Games has long been a dream for DeJong, and now he has already crossed both of those off his to-do list.
Built by top Rallycross preparer OlsbergsMSE, Mitchell DeJong's Lites produces 310 Horsepower
At the inaugural Global Rallycross Lites final at the X Games in Los Angeles, California, DeJong inked his name in the history books by winning the Silver Medal, and becoming the youngest Global Rallycross driver to ever earn a tier on the X Games podium.
"I was just so stoked to be invited to compete in X Games. It seemed so surreal, because I've wanted to race a Rallycross car in the X Games events ever since it started," said DeJong. "During the race week it really just seemed like another race to me. This was only my second time racing this car and I was just hoping to not make any mistakes. It wasn't until after the race, during the medal ceremony, when they presented me with the Silver Medal that it really hit me. I was taking home the Silver! It felt pretty awesome, and not just for me, but for my whole team. It's a total team effort, Borne Olsson and the Olsbergs crew, my parents and the sponsors who've believed in me. It's so great to see that look of triumph in the faces of my team.
DeJong and Olsbergs' MSE GRC Lites mechanic, Bjorn, tuned the front suspension of the No.24 Red Bull GRC Lite right before his heat race, and the adjustment paid off big time. The K&N sponsored driver was able to post the fastest lap time of both heats, as he easily advanced to the first ever X Games GRC Lites Final.
With an outside starting position for the Final, DeJong understood that he needed to get a great start to have any chance at a medal in the intense eight car field. When the green lights flashed DeJong held his line wide around turns one and two, positioning himself to take over the 4th position coming out of turn three. Then using the "Joker Lap" option, which is available only once per race, he was able to slide his car two more positions into 2nd place. Once DeJong was in clean air, he began to shave a second per lap off the lead until high engine temperatures forced the car into cool-mode, limiting the motors full rpm range. DeJong however maintained his composure and he had enough power to hold onto 2nd place for his very first X Games Silver Medal.
Mitchell DeJong says he'll stay with Rallycross for a while because it includes all the disciplines of racing that he enjoys
"Rallycross combines the best racing challenges using multiple terrains, basically all of my racing worlds wrapped in to one. I love it!" declares DeJong. "On-road, off-road, jumps, short course, and head-to- head racing in this Rallycross Lites car has been the most fun racing I've done so far."
We asked DeJong how his dream race career would take shape under ideal conditions?
"This is the question I'm asked the most. Because I like the challenges and competition of different types of racing, it's pretty hard for me to just pick one. I'd like to keep Rallycross racing, it's so new to me, different than anything I've raced before and it's always a new challenge on the track with the multiple surface changes in a single race. I really love road course racing too, and if I had the opportunity, I'd love to drive an F1 car.
Next up on Mitchell DeJong's race calendar is The Dirt Track in North Carolina on September 22 2013, when the Global Rallycross series returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Team Green Army Trophy Truck Being Driven By Justin Davis
"I attended my first SCORE International Baja 500 when I was only a couple weeks old," Justin Davis started the interview. "My dad, Kevin Davis was racing. While some may think it’s crazy to take a baby to one of the toughest off-road races in the world, my family eats, sleeps and breathes off-road racing."

Yet, age has never been a concern for Justin. Only 14-years-old when he began racing Sportsman class in SNORE and MORE Series behind the wheel of a 1-2/1600 buggy and a TrophyKart in CORR, Justin became the youngest SCORE Champion in history to win the SCORE LITE Championship and Class 1 Championship at the ages of 17 and 18 respectively. Additionally, the young gun also competed in the Pro Buggy and Pro2 classes in the Lucas Oil Off Road Series, competing – and succeeding - against some of the fiercest competitors in racing today.
Progressing from TrophyKarts to a Jimco Trophy Truck in late 2012, Justin has entered into SCORE, HDRA and BITD series. Likewise, in his first year running the World Championship of Desert Racing, Justin is already in contention for the top spot against a lineup of seasoned off-road racing teams and veteran racers.
"Racing a trophy truck against the best in the world is a dream come true and chasing the top spot in the World Championship of Desert Racing is where I am placing 100% of my focus right now," Justin beamed. " Off-road racing is a family function for me and having the chance to learn so much about racing and being fortunate enough to win at a young age has been a lot of fun."
Keeping Justin at the front of the pack not only takes a lot of skill and talent, but getting the most performance out of his Trophy Truck. That's why he uses K&N Filters exclusively.
"K&N Filters has been the industry front-runner in high performance automotive filters for as long as I can remember," Justin Davis explains. "Winning in off-road racing requires rock solid performance in the most extreme driving conditions, which is what K&N designs their products to do. To win in the desert, my trophy truck needs to get to the finish line making solid and reliable horsepower, which is why I choose K&N Filters."

That's all Andy Gregg needed to jumpstart his season, one that has seen him find victory lane seven times already, one that has him grinning from ear to ear at just how good his career year has been.
Andy Gregg Racing Down The Track
"This year I've learned that you must believe in yourself and don't worry about what others think of you," Gregg said. "The more confident I am the better we race night in and night out."
Gregg said this year the car has been better than ever, and that's what has given him the confidence to go out and win races. The result? A team on a rampage every time they arrive at the track.
"This has been a storybook season for me and my team," Gregg said. "Over the season so far my team has given me a solid car every night. That has given me the confidence to race harder than I ever have before."
That was never more apparent than during the Mark Forni Memorial race. Gregg would win the race, one he called by far the biggest of his season.
"Mark was a huge supporter of mine when I first started racing back in 2001," Gregg said. "We lost him to cancer in 2005 and ever since I've wanted to win that race."
The only events that have given Gregg trouble so far are the World of Outlaw events. As it turns out, there's good reason for that.
"The worst races have been the World of Outlaw races," Gregg said. "The reason being that they have spec tires that we never run. It took one really bad night with them before we figured the tires out."
Gregg has other challenges to keep up with during the season, the biggest of which is working a normal 8-5, Monday through Friday job. But Gregg said finding energy to race is much easier when the car has been as good as it has so far this year.
That energy is being focused towards one specific event, the Trophy Cup at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif.
"That's the highest paying, the biggest car count and the stiffest competition on the west coast," Gregg said.
Gregg credited K&N Filters for being a part of his career year.
"K&N helps us by producing quality products that, most importantly, are reliable," Andy Gregg said. "From air filters to oil filters, the products K&N makes are of the highest quality. They are easy to use and fit perfectly every time we change a filter."
