there was a thread in the FI forum about PODs and couple different independent tests that were done and apparently apexi fails miserably.

[joeleo87]

i wouldn't use an apexi.

i had 1 on my GTS-t and i was cleaning the AFM every month. i bought a $15 pod of ebay and didnt clean it for about 3 months... sprayed the AFM with electra clean and not a single black drop came out! to bad they dont make kits for GTRs

on the other hand i cant find replacement foams for my hks pods i call around on monday

I'm considering new airpods since my M's have the oil spitting problem which periodically requires I clean the AFM's.... keen to find out what the best pair I can get for 80mm/z32 diameter tubing, but apexi look decent enough... what actual model did u have joel?

the mushroom types

you can squeeze the stk tubing over the Z32s its just the pod kit you need to buy to suit the larger flange.

to upgrade to Z32s and new pod kit itll be close to $1000 bucks

yeah its something i'll keep in mind - i'll need to eventually upgrade my afm's and if I do that I dont want the current pods oiling up the electrodes, so I may as well upgrade to the 80mm filter...

anyhow that can wait till I get my turbos. after that i'll see how much leeway my injectors and afm's have before I need to replace them

I've got a HKS pod filter (with filter) and spare filter still in packet lying around my shed somewhere I think. I clean it out not long ago and binned a handful of items. Might still have it.

[joeleo87]

sweet as ruby if u end up finding it hit me up

Ben your injectors will start maxing out at about 270-280 kws. your AFMs should be good for about 300-320kws tho.

i think i might change my AFMs just because these old nissans ones are old as shit and on their way out.

Replace with some 3A Racing pods...much better and significantly cheaper.

trust me...google them you will find the reviews.

[Nightcrawler]

There actually is a 'wanted to buy' thread you know .... I will let this thread stand though, since there is some constructive stuff in here ...

Air filter comparison.

[DSTROY]

Good to see the K&N's where 1st for filtration although mine are fairly small.

[CRoNic...]

K&N and 3A are the best 2 pods you can get.

K&N ones, though, have to be the dry type if you're running AFM's, as the oil-based pods tend to spray oil all over the AFM's and clog them up over time.

[ArenaGTR]

Japanese Import Spares!!! They have them...

[joeleo87]

Yeh i was never a big fan of the oiled filters but i doubt ill have this set up for long as ill be replacing my AFMs with Z32s.

thanks johnny ill try them tomorrow

[SLED]

very good find there Chronic

lol Joel, as Andrew said, I was thinking of shutting this thing down but it's actually turned out to be a wealth of info.

I always knew K&N had a good product (through dealings with bikes).......that other brand seems the goods to.......I'll have to remember that name.
