Air filters

[Lee75]

Right i'm starting to tune my car "finaly" and want to sort out the basics a good air filter.
I've been thinking of getting a ARC super induction box http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/658
Is anyone runing one if so what are your views?
and what is every one else using?

 

[Derek]

HKS Powerflow for me!

 

[sushiming]

same

 

[S15R]

Apexi!!


I'vs had HKS, ARC, Apexi and K&N


and now i m using Apexi again

 

[Endless]

I'm using Apexi, works good

 

[Yakozan]

Also have the Apex'i.
Works good. But havn't really tried anything else so don't know about the others.

 

[Nicely]

A'PEXi is the best you can get. HKS mushroom (and similar) have the filtration abilities of a tea strainer...

 

[Topper]

Apex'i here too :wave:

Avoid Blitz SUS, a tea strainer would be better :nod:

 

[kieran]

i also run APEXI without any issues however every tuner i have taken my car too has said that is looks far to small? im dont know enough to argue right or wrong but wondered if anyone new better?

 

[Topper]

Its about half the size of the SUS i had prior to the Apex'i :nod: and yes is small, but its shapped in such a way (internally) to suck in as much air as possible

I had an HKS metal flow when i first got my car but i've changed it to an Apexi,
when i took the HKS off it was dirty inside, so hadnt been doing its job properly :no:

Kieran -
as long as the filter is bigger than the bore on the intake pipe its ok,
as the engine can only take in the amount of air that the bore of the intake pipe allows.

Apexi filter is paper type not sponge with oil....

oil will upset AFM

I have an ARC box on my spec S but will be changing it to the Jim Wolf Technology Z32 cone filter - which I used to have on my 300ZX... Very nice filters

 

[Topper]

................ Jim Wolf Technology Z32 cone filter

WHO ?!?!?

 

[robf]

filter

Apexi >>used a K&N once on my S13, AFM did not get on with it at all ,coats the filament with oil which then collects anything not filtered.

 

[A'PEXi]

blitz core type lm, no problems.

 

[kieran]

kimi what you say makes sense to me, i wonder if its because the resistance of the filter therefore the biggger filter has more intake space = less restance..........................i think im talking crap its late had ive had about 10 hours sleep these week.......im going for a coffee
