HKS, 02RUSH or K&N filters?

[Guest sir_GTR]

guys,

i'm getting mine HKS pods complete kit fitted next friday

gonna be paying $650 + $100 labour...is this too expensive?

(price is for 2 by the way...GTR)

:blah:

and how often do i need to clean/replace? the filter?

every 10000? 20,000km??? or every 2-3 years? (for HKS)

The HKS filters should be changed every 3 months.

Why not fit it yourself? It's a simple job and HKS one comes with all manuals, brackets and all that you need.

I honestly recommend something else as I've got a HKS one on my WRX and I notice a far amount of dirt in the inlet pipe.

no offense, but if I was u, i'd have a good read about air filters on that web site before u do anything..

:uh-huh:

i think ill go with a A'PEXi...

coz they arent a 'wet' filter like K&N and from Perfect Run i can have one at my door in a week or so for about $180...

K&N cost $150ish i hear so for 30$ i think ill go with apexi..

[Guest sir_GTR]

guys...thnx for the input...learn so much from that

but how reliable is that site Hype^??...

HKS is the best selller, all b/c of the name????

From that test...A'pexi is the way to go...

quote

"The cost given for the filters are based on a the kit for an R33 Skyline GTR, except the K & N kit which only currently exists for a Skyline GTS, and are inclusive of VAT."

not on GTRs???? wtf???

How about the sound?.. which is the noisiest when you start revving?... Plz let me know asap hehe..gonna cancel the HKS order now...

The louder the better by the way

Well,

a while back, about 8 months ago, a friend was looking for a new filter for his heavily modified S14a, and did some reasearch on the filters

He was looking at

-Apexi

-Trust

-K&N

-HKS

he read around, and found on a few forums people complaining about the Apexi's. From what i've heard, they're a good filter but dont last too long. I may be wrong, but i only know what i read!

And from what he found, the K&N Were beter, especially for the money.

K&N are certainly loud, and i dont think i've read any complaints about them.....

i did some readings... and have gone ahead today to order the K & N + kits...fitted for $330...which is under HALF

the price of the HKS i was gonna get ($750) ... and HKS filters arent re-usable...

Many thnx for the input

Luv y'all :love:

- When you get it in, we'll go for a friendly run to see how

K&N goes against the A'Pexi in regards to induction noise etc

etc.

[soopamarcus]

hehe you want a cool induction noise? just take your factory airbox cover off hehehe

and you'll get some sorta idea about the induction noise of an RB25DET..

i took mine off today and went for a run..sounds good..but didnt seem as eager to run to the redline.. prolly cuz im sucking hot air!

buying a HKS air filter after reading this thread = :bonk:

[giz01]

just fitted o2rush turbo pod on gf's SX seems fine for noise its noticeably louder but not annoying, ad says that they flow 900cfm i know a hks or a trust won't flow that as mates have flowbench tested them and i think they made 700 or so cfm

where in sydney can i get a apexi power intake from??

[DESTROY]

[XrSiSt]

Is that with lots of water or just a splash?

This is what Jan wrote about his Power Intake...

OK, here's the deal with the Apexi Power Intake. I fitted one about six months ago convinced after i had seen the filtration test results. In a matter of four months from initial use, I noticed the filter assembly exhibiting signs of fatigue .. seems as though the lattice structure of the weakly wired pleats just collapsed. I installed the filter myself and it had never been subject to the mishandling of workshop mechanics so I thought this occurence was too weird.

Then i recall (and you guys might have read in my earlier posts) having encountered engine stutters/hesitation after hitting a deep flood on my very wet afternoon. The engine compartment around the filter was completely soaked, I'm certain the filter element was equally soaked and ingested a healthy gulp of moist filtered air. Not too long after this incident, the filter element just mysteriously collapsed as shown. I attribute this weakness to poor design and compromised structural integrity. Looking at the pic, you can see only one side of the filter assembly has a pillar support, the rest of it none. Had the Apexi Power Intake design take the approach of Sard for example, it would not look so sorry under such wet circumstances!

I know this isnt a freak one-off occurence as there are two more Power Intakes that suffered the same fate.

Just watch out for flooded roads.
