Looking for a K&n for the IAC

[ANIMOSITY]

Ive seen people running a small K&N style air filter on the IAC
instead of running the tube all the way back to the air intake
boot. Im looking for that filter, where to get it, and maybe a
part number. I just welded me up a new MAF to TB pipe and
its clean looking without the connection tube for that IAC, and
I want to leave it that way. Thanks

That is dumb. You do know that will **** up the idle right?

I have NEVER seen this... There was another one of these stupid threads that popped up somewhere and I passed on the urge to laugh at it. Terrible idea OP.

OP if you have any pictures or links or anything that you could post in here of this then please do. My weekend sucks... and I'm sure 5 minutes of laughter may help...

That air has to be metered by the MAF, that's why its connected by a tube to the air intake past the MAF sensor.

No need in giving guy hard time...this is a technical forum is it hard to keep it that?
Op as stated that is metered air and it will cause all kind of problems you don't want if you put a filter on iac.

I think maybe this guy is confused and doesn't really mean IAC ?? That wouldn't make any sense.

OP - did you mean the small filter in the VC like in this pic ?? Usually there is a rubber hose going from this location to your intake tubing.

Alright now I like how all the Jackass's come out when someone asks a question. Forgot that this dam site was full of "F"in Ford engineers.

Anyway, I know Ive seen it done. But Im thinking that maybe the car was running some kind of aftermarket EFI, and may have been setup for speed density.
Sorry for wasting all you Experts time. Wont happen again.

Calm down man, there were some serious responses after the first few. Your question was answered. And do you really want to have that "clean" look only to know you're going to dump a good amount of money into a different efi setup? Not really worth it, imo. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I bet you think you're real cool, don't you?

Hey, my response was not directed to the people who were serious about my question. I know that there are a lot of great people on here. Its the few JACKA$$'s that piss me off. I also notice that the punks are all relatively new here.
And to your point, No I'm not going to spend the cash just to clean my intake a little. I had realized how it was done after the first post, when I was sitting on the throne doing some thinking.

it would look like this

pretty it's running a FAST efi as stated above about speed density systems

Thanks! I knew I had seen it before.
Like I said before, there ARE some decent folks on here.

wow that is a little different, never seen it before... whats the advantage besides just being different.. not being a smartass, just not familiar with that

There is zero benefit to be had by doing it. Only negatives. No idea why it was even on that car.

You guys do know what the report post button is correct?

That car was using a Chevy style iac for better control of the tuning . It uses an adapter plate and un metered air flow . Mainly used on pushrod 5.o's with turbos and F.A.S.T type setups. You can set the idle with a turn of the pintel inside the iac instead of with a volt meter .
