This is the only filter on the K&N site that resembles the filter I received with my kit from a few months ago. Since it uses the sealer grease I really don’t want to open the air box to randomly check it out.

Has anyone installed the STI PCV valve with this kit? Some people with turbo setups say it's necessary but I haven't seen anyone use it with the Edelbrock kit.

Installing tune after the S/C
Hi, Spun a rod bearing on my 2013 FRS, Swapping engines and would like to install Edelbrock as I go. After install is complete should I be able to save factory tune and install S/C tune before initial startup? I am confident in my replacement stock engine as well as my ability to install this engine. I however have never attempted to install a Tune. I realize the manual deals with the tune before hand. Thanks for your input.

Some ppl have changed to the STI PCV. You can check out all the old posts about the teething issues with EBSC. There's also another post by someone that had hesitation issue due to a failed PCV valve but replaced with OEM.

Are their symptoms to look for if I do find myself needing to change it? The car is running fine now, at the moment.

The PCV valve does not see boost with an Edelbrock kit. The outlet side of the valve connects upstream of the compressor on the nose of the supercharger, so it is always in vacuum. You do not need an STI valve.

See this post.. guy reported mostly hesitation/stuttering.
I actually see this on 1st going downhill in slight traffic with my foot off the pedal. haven't gotten logs yet since it only occurs going slow downhill for some reason. Its like the throttle is doing rapid fire bursts. Quote:

Just got off the phone with Tony from EB, their main SC tech. He told me some very interesting things about the Filter that everyone has to do apparently.
1. EVERYONE needs to REMOVE the sealant you applied to the airbox seal. They found that it contaminates the MAF sensor and get all sorts of weird behavior (J02 anyone?). The sealant no longer shipped with the kits roughly 1.5 years ago and they're advising everyone to clean it off if you've applied it 2. DO NOT use the OILed version sold on K/N website. ONLY use dried, they switched to using a special EB only dried K/N filter that's painted red (no oil) in 2017. He advised us to use K/N cleaner ONLY then wash with water and then dry in the sun for 2 DAYS! just to be sure because the cotton very easily traps water. Also he said to vigorously shake it to get the water out lol EB part number is 51-0157 K/N special part number is SP-3737 Again do not use the OIL spray, or sealant. It fucks things up apparently. |

I remember ppl in 2020 said their kits were missing the sealant and went out and bought it themselves and applied it. Hopefully they come back and read this thread.
Also he said that filter takes forever to dry in the sun so if you want a quick clean just have another ordered from Jegs. Don't worry if it turns white (fake red paint) |

It would appear that Edelbrock needs to update their install manual, as the manual gives direction to apply the sealant. Also, trying to source the air filter by the part numbers listed is not easy, as those part numbers always return no results, at least for me Last edited by Hurricane Nate; 07-15-2021 at 07:06 PM.

Here ya go. But you should be able to buy just the cleaner from KN (not the oil spray) and clean your old one too. This one is kinda pricy |

My setup has been running fine for two years but now I’ve got a P0171 and C1201 CEL
Only at idle at a long stoplight or such. Car seems to be running fine though. I thought it was related to an exhaust leak I had at the over pipe but I’ve fixed that. Before that I’ve noticed for a while while going from first to reverse sometimes it hangs at 2k rpms….idk if it’s related. I have the old 3 bolt bypass Sorry guess I searched and didn’t see exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your guys help, if this thread wasn’t here I don’t think I would of bought a SC. Well I guess I should of read more posts ha. I did the test and I can’t pull vacuum on my bypass valve. Been calling edelbrock all day and can’t get ahold of anyone. Is the car safe enough to drive home? (driving nicely of course)
