Stainless steel filtration is not a new technology but is quickly gaining popularity in the automotive segment. With the ability to filter down as small as a paper filter element with the ability to be washed and reused!

The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean. The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

K&P Engineering manufactures stainless steel filters for a vast array of engines around the world. Staying at the forefront of design and testing allows this company to offer a top-tier product for your European vehicle.

Features:

• Consistent filtering across entire filter surface
• Superior ASTMF316 filtration performance
• 7 times the flow of comparable paper oil filters
• Magnetic Prefiltering
• Progressive rate bypass combined with high flow characteristics of the filter media avoids unfiltered oil bypassing the filter during cold startup and high rpm
• No more cutting apart messy paper filters for trapped debris inspection
• Proven in Motorsports, Military and Aerospace applications for years. Technology is FAA approved for use in aircraft. 

At regular oil changes, clean to K&P's specifications for continued used - a true lifetime filter.

This filter is designed to offer exceptional protection against oil contamination, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity.

• High-Quality Stainless Steel Construction: Made from medical-grade type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth, which filters down to 35 microns and provides a high flow rate of 1.9 gallons per minute per square inch.
• Cleanable and Reusable: Unlike paper filters, this stainless steel filter can be washed and reused, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits.
• Consistent Filtration: Delivers reliable filtering performance across the entire filter surface, maintaining engine protection.
• Superior Filtration Performance: Achieves excellent ASTMF316 filtration standards and includes magnetic prefiltering to capture metallic particles.
• Billet Aluminum Filter Case: Acts as an oil cooler (where applicable) and adds durability.
• Progressive Rate Bypass: Combined with high flow characteristics, this feature prevents unfiltered oil from bypassing the filter during cold starts and high RPMs.
• Easy Contamination Inspection: Allows for straightforward inspection of engine contamination levels.
• Proven Track Record: Trusted in motorsports, military, and aerospace applications.

Please note: For older caged-type filters, a newer filter housing is required. Ensure the larger hole insert is installed on the housing cap for proper fitment.

Enhance your Mini's performance with the ALTA Supercharger Pulley, crafted from lightweight 6061T6 aluminum. This pulley reduces the rotational inertia of the supercharger, significantly enhancing engine responsiveness. Featuring cross-drilled holes over each groove, it improves belt grip and minimizes belt slippage as the belt stretches. Additionally, oversized belt retainers prevent belt jumping.

ALTA offers two reduction sizes: 15% and 17%, each providing distinct benefits.

• 15% Reduction: The standard choice in the market, delivering smooth power increases of approximately 20WHP for safe performance enhancements.
• 17% Reduction: Ideal for those seeking more power, this option builds boost at lower RPMs, providing additional power where needed. It delivers an extra 1.5psi of boost at redline, ensuring added horsepower to conquer challenging situations.

For the US E36 M3. Schrick 264/256 degree camshafts boost mid-high end power for that extra motivation at higher rpm. Low-end torque is not seriously affected due to the M50/M52s VAN0S System. And, higher profile cams work extremely well with an upgraded intake and exhaust. When upgrading the cams there are other areas you must take into consideration. Higher-flow fuel injectors, larger mass-air sensor, and custom programming are strongly recommended. Turner Motorsport sells complete intake & cam packages that boost power to over 290hp. See the Engine section under Camshafts for more info.

Cam Specs:
Intake - 264 degree, 11.2mm lift
Exhaust - 256 degree, 10.6mm lift
