The Ford EcoBoost 2.7-liter engine found in 2015-2016 Ford F150 2.7L and 2015-2016 Ford Edge 2.7L turbo models, uses a different oil filter from other Ford corporate engines

Decreasing displacement, while also increasing performance and fuel efficiency has been a major goal for the Ford Motor Company. This trend isn't limited to small commuter cars. In fact, Ford has made a huge push to increase the EPA estimated MPG of it's extremely popular Ford F150 pickup truck as well as its mid-size and full-size SUV offerings. Ford has accomplished this task with the help of its EcoBoost turbocharged, direct injection gasoline engines. For 2015 Ford began offering an even smaller 2.7L EcoBoost engine as an option for the 2015 Ford F150 and even the 2015 Ford Edge.

The K&N 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel performance air intake and intercooler pipe work together to create remarkable gains in horsepower and torque

The fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, referred to as the WK2 in some circles, can be equipped with an optional 3.0-liter turbocharged EcoDiesel V6. The common rail diesel (CRD) V6 engine is produced by VM Motori Cento in Ferrara, Italy and produces horsepower and torque numbers that rival the optional 5.7-liter V8 engine equipped WK2 Grand Cherokee models. Where the diesel Grand Cherokee outshines its V8 powered brethren is in miles per gallon and increased fuel range.

Owners of 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee models looking to further increase the performance of their turbocharged EcoDiesel have a bolt-on performance option from the leader in air filter technology, K&N. diesel performance air intake systems, like number 63-1570 from K&N filters, are designed to safely and reliably increase horsepower and torque by reducing restriction and turbulence in the air intake tract. This improvement in performance is accomplished by replacing restrictive factory components with all new parts from K&N that are designed to increase power.

For increased diesel performance K&N replaces factory 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee parts with a new roto-molded HDPE air intake tube and mandrel-bent aluminum intercooler pipe

A K&N air intake system begins with a world famous washable and reusable high-flow K&N air filter. K&N air filter number RC-2960, is built with an oiled cotton gauze filtration technology pleated between two layers of wire screen mesh. Because cotton naturally breathes easier than typical paper disposable air filters, a K&N air filter will allow for increased airflow with the benefit of being reusable. From there K&N replaces the dryer-hose like factory air intake tube of the 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel with a new roto-molded HDPE air intake tube to smooth and straighten airflow. The open element K&N air filter is protected by an application specific air filter heat shield which deflects engine heat and seals against the bottom side of the hood.

An additional performance component of the K&N Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel air intake system is the new K&N intercooler pipe made from mandrel-bent aluminum and powder coated for durability. The K&N intercooler pipe included with K&N diesel intake 63-1570 replaces the factory pipe and intercooler muffler chamber. The K&N Grand Cherokee intercooler pipe helps to further reduce air intake tract restriction while also giving the 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L EcoDiesel engine a more aggressive sound. The K&N Grand Cherokee diesel performance air intake system, and Grand Cherokee diesel intercooler pipe work together to create some pretty remarkable gains in horsepower and torque.

When dyno tested in-house by K&N filters on an otherwise stock 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L turbo diesel, K&N air intake 63-1570 was shown to provide an estimated increase of 12.67 additional horsepower at a usable 2,900 RPM. More impressive yet is the estimated increase of 30.94 lb-ft of torque which peaked at a low 2,600 RPM. K&N diesel air intake system 63-1570 exhibited gains in power across the RPM band which directly translated to measurable increases at the rear wheels. This diesel air intake system will do more than just provide more power. It will also improve drivability by reducing restriction; allowing the turbocharger and engine to work more efficiently.

The K&N diesel performance air intake system for 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Eco Diesel 3.0L V-6 turbo diesel models is backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. This diesel air intake system is designed to provide increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals without any need for modifications or voiding the factory warranty of the following Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 models:

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L V6 Diesel
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L V6 Diesel

In LOORRS round 14 Pro 4 Bryce Menzies headed up a hill with 3 laps left in the race and an unfortunate landing sent the Red Bull truck on 2 wheels

K&N sponsored Bryce Menzies and the Menzies Motorsports team had won 5 of the 11 races in the Pro 2 class heading into LOORRS rounds 13 and 14 in Reno, Nevada

The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) 2015 short course season has been filled with a lot of ups and downs for the K&N sponsored team of Menzies Motorsports. Bryce Menzies and the Menzies Motorsports team had won 5 of the 11 races in the Pro 2 class heading into LOORRS rounds 13 and 14 in Reno, Nevada. Bryce Menzies has had success in the past at this track and was hoping to add another notch to his belt.

K&N air filters supported LOORRS driver Bryce Menzies qualified 3rd overall in the Pro 4 class for round 13 which put him on the 2nd row for the start. Bryce successfully passed every truck in the Pro4 class besides the series points leader Kyle Leduc and finished second. Bryce then headed onto the track again for round 13 of the Pro 2 truck class. Bryce Menzies again qualified 3rd also putting him on the second row for the start. Bryce quickly made his way to the front of the pack and won the Pro 2 race with a significant gap over second place driver Rob MacCachren.

The final race of the weekend for Bryce Menzies was the Pro 2 class where he was fortunate to start on the front row, quickly taking the lead after turn 1 and never looking back

K&N sponsored Bryce Menzies and the Red Bull Pro4 truck flipped; while Bryce Menzies was uninjured following the crash he did not continue the LOORS round 14 Pro 4 race

LOORRS round 14 the next day began very much the same as round 13 with Bryce Menzies qualifying the Pro 4 truck in 2nd and 1st in the Pro 2 class. The invert started the #7 Red Bull Pro 4 truck in the third row for round 14. Bryce Menzies made his way through the field, all the way up to third place before getting stuck behind Greg Adler who spun out. This forced Bryce back to 8th place. Determined, he made his way through traffic once again all the way up to 3rd place right behind the leader. Bryce headed up a hill with 3 laps left and an unfortunate landing sent the truck on 2 wheels before it eventually flipped. Bryce Menzies was uninjured following the crash but did not continue the Pro 4 race.

The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series 2015 season has been filled with a lot of ups and downs for the Menzies Motorsports team, yet they’ve racked up 7 wins out of 13 races so far this year

Luke Bogacki staged his American Race Cars dragster in the Super Comp final round of the 34th annual Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway beside K&N’s Gary Stinnett

Luck seemed to be on NHRA champion Luke Bogacki’s side during the entire 34th annual Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway. With each round Luke Bogacki matched up against accomplished competitors, yet his opponents seemingly made their worst passes of the race with the 2-time champion in the opposite lane. “It goes to show that it's not who you run as much as when you run them,” Bogacki remarked. “I feel like we've been pretty solid all season, particularly in this K&N hot rod, but I've consistently run into a .010 package or a great run in the other lane. In Brainerd, we were solid – not spectacular, but solid – and we got some breaks. That's the difference.”

K&N air filters sponsored NHRA driver Luke Bogacki's latest victory marked his ninth NHRA national event triumph, and fifth in the 8.90 category

Solid driving and timely luck aided Bogacki, and his K&N Filters dragster did the rest. In an event that saw dramatic swings in temperature and wind (as evidenced by the myriad of national records set in the professional ranks), his American Race Cars machine varied just .011-of-a-second to the 60' timers (with the opening five rounds varying just .003). Bogacki was solid as well, averaging a .014 reaction time. “My car was great,” emphasized Bogacki. “Honestly, it's been good all season but I made some changes in Topeka trying to calm down the 60' times. Obviously it responded. I'm glad the numbers are so impressive, it's a testament to American Race Cars and the quality equipment we bolt to the frame rails.”

Luke Bogacki staged his American Race Cars dragster in the Super Comp final round of the 34th annual Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway beside Gary Stinnett. Luke Bogacki, the reigning Super Gas champion and 2013 Super Comp titlist got the decision over 4-time NHRA Super Comp champion Stinnett by virtue of a strong .010 reaction time, paired with a 8.929 ET. “I have a huge degree of respect for Gary, his program and obviously his accomplishments,” explained Bogacki. “He's not someone that you necessarily ever want to take on, but at the same time I try to embrace the opportunity to compete against the best. Gary made an uncharacteristically bad run, but I'd like to think we'd have been difficult to beat regardless.”

Bogacki's winning combination features a 632 cubic inch Huntsville Engine & Performance engine that pushes his K&N filters backed machine to the 8.90 index at speeds in excess of 180 miles per hour. Bogacki's latest victory marked his ninth NHRA national event triumph, and fifth in the 8.90 category. Brainerd International Raceway is the first facility at which Bogacki has won two national events, and he's also earned a runner-up finish at the Northern Minnesota track. “I'd like to dedicate our Brainerd win to Norm Franks, the owner and developer of Flo-Fast pumps and AirTek gauges who passed away recently after a battle with cancer,” Bogacki shared. “I met Norm here in Brainerd several years. This facility makes me think of him every season, but particularly now that I can't pick up the phone and give him a hard time. He was an accomplished businessman and a good man.”

In addition to K&N Filters, the Bogacki Motorsports team also represents Racing RV's, along with associate marketing partners Watts Auto Diesel Service, Advanced Product Design, Bill Taylor Enterprises, Accelerated Graphics, ThisIsBracketRacing.com, RacerSwag, Mickey Thompson Tires, American Race Cars, Renegade Racing Fuels, Product Development Group (makers of Flo-Fast fluid transfer systems and AirTek pressure monitoring systems), JEGS and C.A.R.S.

K&N air filters sponsored Vaughn Gittin Jr. began his professional drifting career over ten years ago driving his personal Nissan S13 240SX

K&N air filters sponsored Vaughn Gittin Jr. began his professional drifting career over ten years ago. The self-taught American drifter came from humble beginnings driving his personal Nissan S13 in Formula Drift. The switch to a Ford Mustang in 2005 brought the Maryland native much notoriety and sponsors such as Ford Racing, Monster Energy drinks, Nitto Tires and K&N air filters. The sport of Drifting employs a technique where the driver intentionally loses traction in the rear wheels while maintaining control through counter-steering. Drifting is a delicate dance along a fine line separating control and chaos. Car control is one of the most important ingredients in racing, and Formula Drift drivers know how to control a car at speed; even if it doesn’t appear that way.

The rebirth of American muscle cars, like the Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, & Ford Mustang, has reinvigorated interest in the Trans-Am series racing formed in the 1960’s Pony Car era

The fundamental elements shared between professional drifting and road course racing are the same. However, it was quite a change of pace for Vaughn Gittin Jr. as he made his first attempt to apply skills learned from drifting into a 100MPH Trans Am race with 70+ competitors clogging a challenging road course. Vaughn Gittin Jr. had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a highly-tuned, and K&N filters equipped, Ford Mustang on the historic Road America track and compete in the Trans-Am TA2 class.

After spending some time becoming familiar with the Trans-Am TA2 Ford Mustang, Vaughn Gittin Jr. qualified with a time of 2 minutes 17.745 seconds making him 13th out of 29 TA2 cars

The rebirth of American muscle cars, like the Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and the ever present Ford Mustang, has reinvigorated interest in Trans-Am racing series which was formed at the dawn of the 1960’s Pony Car era. Like the American Muscle Car, the Trans-Am production based racing series experienced its golden age in the late 60’s until 1972 when manufacturer support of the series ended. Eventually Trans-Am racing moved away from production car racing, into purpose-built racing machines with tube frames. TA2 cars, like the Mustang that Vaughn Gittin Jr. raced, are high-performance purpose built machines, but the SCCA has put cost control measures in place to make it relatively affordable.

“Months ago, when Peter Stark began convincing me to do this, all he had to say ‘600-horsepower Mustang Trans Am car’ and I was in!” said Gittin. “In addition to drifting all over the world, I’ve done some Time Attack, Mustang Challenge, and one NASCAR road racing event, but testing the Trans Am TA2 car was actually the first time that road racing ‘clicked’ for me. I have some internal brain programming and instincts to adjust - like not reaching for the hand brake at corner entry - but the car control I have learned from drifting seems to translate very well to road racing, especially in a Trans Am car.”

Vaughn Gittin Jr. finished fifth out of 29 Trans-Am TA2 drivers which was fantastic considering Vaughn Gittin Jr was still feeling the effects of having totaled his Mustang drift car

“I am super-pumped to be participating in my first Trans Am race this weekend.” Vaughn continued. “Big thanks to everybody at Loshak and Stark Racing for the opportunity, Mike Cope Race Cars for building such fast TA2 cars, and all my partners for supporting me on my Trans Am debut.” After spending some time becoming familiar with the Trans-Am TA2 Ford Mustang it was time for qualifying. Vaughn Gittin Jr. qualified with a respectable time of 2 minutes 17.745 seconds which put him 13th out of 29 TA2 cars.

A lot can happen in the final race though; as was evidenced by the final results. In qualifying Vaughn Gittin Jr’s pace was 3 seconds off of the TA2 fast qualifier. If that kind of pace continued for the entire Trans Am Next Dimension 100 race at Road America, Vaughn Gittin Jr. would have been minutes behind the TA2 leader. Instead Gittin drove his car wisely moving past several of his competitors. At the checkers, Vaughn Gittin Jr had moved his way up to fifth place. Trans-Am TA2 class winner Tony Ave, also in a Ford Mustang, made his way from 9th to finish a mere .31 seconds ahead of TA2 fast qualifier Cameron Lawrence. Instead of being minutes behind the TA2 winner, Vaughn was only about 8 seconds behind in fifth. Finishing fifth out of 29 more experienced Trans-Am drivers is more than just respectable; it’s fantastic considering Vaughn Gittin Jr was still feeling the effects of having totaled his Monster Energy Ford Racing Mustang RTR drift car the weekend before at Formula Drift in Texas.
