“After a good start to the season at Croft last month, I was hoping for a good start,” said Harrison. “Race one was a hard fought battle and I ended up in 7th place. The good news was that I beat my previous best from last year with a one minute forty-three second lap.”

By race four wet weather soaked the track. “This was going to be my first wet race since I crashed in 2005,” said Harrison. “I was not as aggressive and lost a number of places on the first lap and finished in 11th place. I was not pleased, but we are staying up there in points and overall it was a good end to my first full season back.”

Harrison is in 4th place in the championship chase. “My brother Jonathan is running a 2006 Yamaha R1 in the Metzeler Racetec National Superstock Cup,” he said. “I’m running a 2000 Yamaha R6. Both bikes have K&N Engineering Air Filters and both are running very well. K&N makes a superior product.”

Richie Harrison’s next race will be at Mallory Park on May 27th.

The Lexus GS 350 was redesigned in 2007 with a bigger 3.5 liter V-6 engine. The GS 350 also has an updated optional navigation system with voice activation and a rearview camera. A dashboard screen works with the navigation system while working as a monitor for its intuitive park assist system.

Air Intake for the Lexus GS350

K&N Engineering has designed a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-8702TP) in polished aluminum for this high-tech vehicle. K&N dynamometer tests show an 18 horsepower gain @ 5751 RPM for this Air Intake. The 69-8702TP fits the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Lexus GS350 models with the 3.5 liter engine.

K&N Cold Air Intakes add heat shields and use a tube that extends beyond the engine bay away from the heat of the engine to maximize cool air. This is a key ingredient for horsepower.

Included in this Typhoon Air Intake System, like all other K&N Air Intake Systems is a high-flow air filter (RU-4990) designed to provide increased surface area. The heat shield isolates the K&N Air Filter from the engine compartment and allows the K&N Air Filter to receive a consistent flow of fresh cool air.

It takes less than 90 minutes to install this air intake with simple hand tools. K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems are designed to improve engine performance along with under the hood visual appeal.

Air Filter for 2005 and 2006 Scion tC Air Intake 69-8608TFK

K&N Engineering released a new Air Intake (69-8608TFK) in flat black for the 2005 and 2006 Scion tC 2.4 liter engine. K&N selected a few vehicles from Toyota that had hydrocarbon trap filters in the airboxes and worked with CARB's criteria to design emissions friendly air intakes. "This Typhoon Air Intake System is equipped with a hydrocarbon filter in the air box," said K&N Project Technician Nestor Cabrera. "Our Typhoon Air Intake System uses the factory upper air box with the mass air flow sensor. This allows the consumer to retain the CARB mandated emission device. Other additions include a special high flow K&N Air Filter (E-3038) and heat shield."

The high flow K&N Air Filter is mated to the factory upper air box by an exclusive K&N designed cage. The air intake heat shield isolates the air filter from the engine compartment and helps to funnel cooler outside air into the air filter. The CARB mandated hydrocarbon filter isolates evaporative emissions within the intake track. The E-3038 air filter is one of the first of its kind from K&N. It has a unique trapezoidal shape that was made specifically for this application.

K&N previously released air intakes for the 2005 & 2006 models with the traditional cold-air design. Performance of the 69-8608TFK is improved slightly over the K&N original air intake systems, 69-8607TB and 69-8607TS."

K&N dynamometer test show a 7.58 horsepower gain @ 5022 RPM for this intake system (69-8608TFK). "The horsepower and torque gains are exceptional for an engine of this size," said Cabrera. "The vehicle design played a major roll in the development of this Typhoon Air Intake. We took special care to ensure that the K&N Intake System followed the vehicle lines and did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine compartment."

There is a thorough development procedure which requires the use of multiple vehicles at K&N. "This helps give us confidence in our horsepower numbers," said Cabrera. "Our Typhoon Air Intake Systems go through a lot testing before being finalized for production."

It takes less than 90 minutes to install most K&N Air Intakes with common tools. K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems are designed to improve engine performance along with under the hood visual appeal.
