Need A Expert On Air Filters

[R34NRG]

Just get any pod filter they'll give you the loud induction sound that your after.

thats the thing...i dont no which one gives the biggest suction noise.

i was told #5 gives the biggest noise but for air filteration...apexi has the upper hand.

can anyone confirm this?

also can anyone tell me wat #6 is....its not a pod...its some sort of pipe...that does wat exactly? lol

Ive been told those oiled cotton filters are bad for hot wire type AFM's (like in the skyline). Ive got a Trust filter, looks like number 4. Mint induction sound too

[R34NRG]

they say that #1 is best for intake because of its swirl design. it allows maximum air to go in. if u think about it, it makes perfect sense. twisted air moves alot faster then straight.......................................i think lol

But on the other hand, #3 and #4 have a larger surface are, meaning that more air could be filtered at once, would that have an effect?

Apexi Power Intake = Best.

well there u have it boys.....i told u apexi wins....haha

it would seem that way but bahh.....doubtful...

although the filters were tested on filteration and hp gain.....i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

There you go anjoO darK found the link I was reffering to. You cant go past the apexi pod it would give you that loud sucking sound as well. Im sure alot of people here would have an apexi pod on thier line just ask them.

Isnt the last pic just an adaptor piping for the pod ? Correct me if im wrong....

[R34NRG]

welll thanks guys i think im defently going for the apexi pod.....but what about how ppl have 2 or 3 pods.....whats that all about (i guess for more air lol)....and how does one tell if one needs more then 1

how long do these things take to put in and get runnin......if all goes good ill get one tm haha

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

Could the AFM cope with having air pass through it at the higher airspeed created having twice the inlet size?

[R34NRG]

where would one get such apexi filters from...around eastern suberbs....and is all i need the pod or some sort of kit.

runnin a r34 gtt

[R34NRG]

geeeeeee 230 bux thats alot....ebay sell em for 90

is there any difference

ahhhhh.....damn....is that as cheap as they get?????

[Kaido_RR]

APEXI AIR-FILTER (POD) are direct bolton you dont need any adoptor (in the case on a rb25 that is)

the apexi kit is something different

[R34NRG]

okai im totally lost.....so im runnin a rb25det....wat do i need......just the pod which is bolt on...or a kit?

lol sorry

lol sorry

just the pod

If you simply buy a filter for the induction noise, then there will be a much louder noise eventually - when the engine shits itself from all the dirt and crap it has inhaled.

Which one FILTERs best?

[someonestolecc]

SK has recommended pipercross - some UK brand.

I found a pod of theirs for like $70.. Sounds good to me.

I emailed them asking what size I would need to fit a z32 AFM and they never got back from me. Lost my business on that count but I may email them again just to be sure.

[Sydneykid]

i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

So all you are interested in is the sound, so why run a filter at all? That will be the loudest, make the most noise. Sure it will stuff up the turbo and the engine in pretty quick time, but you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

The real answer is that there isn’t much difference in sound from an unshielded POD. They all make pretty much the same amount of noise. Of course an unshielded POD with no ambient air feed looses noticeable horsepower from the hot air ingested and gives worse fuel economy. But hey you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

cheers

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

Wrong!! In a number of ways. Twin pods are popular but on my RB25DETT in the track car I ran single AFM and single pod, however the stock GTR setup is single airbox and is good enough for my 260rwkw/0-100 in 4.02s. Funnily enough the GTSt's share the same filter panel as GTRs. So the filter is not the problem. GTSt's can be a bit strangled in the induction piping so some lateral thought to help it breaths means

a. legal and only 1 induction mod allowed means a FMIC can be run,

b. less likely to be considered a wanker because of the rediculous noises you attempt to generate, and

c. almost free.

Yeah my brother's RZ Supra has one BIG pod that feeds both turbos, I think it's a Trust one. Doesn't make any noticeable sound though compared to my loud HKS one (which I'm replacing soon).
