Polaris RZR Air Intake
Unique Metal Products - Polaris RZR Air Intake
Information:
Stock RZR air intake compared to the UMP air intake
The UMP intake
incorporates a unique swirl flow design inside the aluminum air canister to
help separate the larger dirt particles out before they can even reach the
filter. This results in a much longer filter life and increased performance
over longer periods.
UMP’s filters are developed for the heavy equipment
industry. They are a dry paper element and feature a self cleaning action
that increases performance for the life of the filter. Plus, forget what
you have heard about oiled gauze style filters. With their porous design
they flow a lot of air but can’t match the superior filtering capabilities
of paper.
Installation:
Remove the bed and seats so you will have better access.
Stock plastic air chamber is seen in the top middle of the photo.
The air temperature sender is removed from the stock air
intake boot and will be bolted up to the UMP intake canister.
New bracket is installed on top of the transmission. Remove
the two factory 5/16" bolts on top of the transmission and replace with
supplied 1 3/4" bolts that go all the way through. The intake mounting
bracket attaches to these two bolts, plus two smaller bolts that attach near
the shift mechanism.
Remove the stock plastic air chamber. The hole for the
intake tube will need to be enlarged to handle the new tube.
I used a box cutter to open up the hole in small steps, but you can also use
a die grinder.
The crank case breather is relocated to the inside of the
stock plastic air chamber. A hole must be drilled on the driver's side
up 3 1/2" from the bottom and at the center line. The Fram breather is
installed inside the air box and the supplied tube needs to be connected to
the new breather. Make sure the crank breather line is
going up hill all the way so oil will drain back into the engine.
Once the air chamber has been modified, install it over the
tube and fasten in place using factory body rivets.
The finished product.
Review:
The fit and finish of the UMP air intake is very nice.
Everything fits in place nicely, and the installation went smoothly. I
really like how the air intake is now mounted to the engine so the air
intake and engine will move together and lessen the opposing vibration that
can knock the intake boot off the throttle body.
The paper filter is made by
Donaldson and is available at UMP
dealers as well as heavy equipment outlets.
