Question about JWTs

^ so you're sure theyll fit JWT opening? also if "JWT uses the same filter for all their popchargers" did you mean they use the exact filters as on this site and yet you ordered another pair? Sorry for so many Q's but im reallly lookin into this as well though im still dont have the pop chargers
REPLACEMENT ELEMENT FOR ALL POP-CHARGERS EXCEPT 90-96 300ZX. On R2C's website you'll see they make a filter specifically for the JWT popcharger, however they only list the G35/350Z which I'm sure is because they posted that before the G37 popcharger was released. So the G37's JWT filter is the same filter used on the G35/350Z Popcharger. That's the logic anyway...definately going to find out in a month or so.

I know it says that it's less restrictive but the great question is if this use the Venturis like the original. I assume it does but I can't manage to see it in the description, I think this is a must for any replacement filter to give the same performance than the original.

So did anyone else see the cleaning instructions link?

Seems you spray gauze air filter oil on it after cleaning...

You're right, but I swear that I read somewhere that the filter helps with the Venturi process, so I assumed that it has some kind of special design in combination with the tubes. I will try to find it, but I hope I don't, this seems like a good alternative for people that doesn't like idea of cleaning and re-oil, if it flow better as they advertise it, I'm interested too.

venturi theory, a 4:1 convergent area and a modified parabolic profile maintain a near linear air
velocity along the entire venturi surface. Interestingly, it is the POP-Chargers aluminum venturi
that accounts for the largest performance gain; the filter element itself is designed simply to not
adversely affect this venturi."

Blue color loss
I know this is a reply two years later, but just had some free time to browse and saw this. I notice a color loss as well but it basically comes with use. I do see the darker spots near the heat shield, same spot on both filters. No big deal after cleaning them. Like it was mentioned in an earlier post, move that spot around when re-installing. Just don't over oil. But really...no issues otherwise. Love the sound still.
Has anyone tried to replace the OEW JWT filter with a K&N? Saw some K&N's that look similar to the JWT's. To me, K&N's seem easier to clean and the Red color is nice.
Any input appreciated. Thanks.

*update*
JWT said:
I checked with our engineers and here are my findings. The blue coloring dye in the oil does tend to fade, however the actual oil which is colorless is still saturating the element. This is not a problem and the color can be restored with a light application of the blue oil spray used for servicing the filters

i have been meaning to do a clean and re-oil... had their recharge kit for months now! bought some simple green to spray down the filters for the cleaning step. i'll take some pics perhaps... should be fine as long as you dont over oil... just go easy and let it dry indoors naturally and slowly.
