Getting More Power Out Of -7's

[JimmyRickard]

Just revisiting an old topic. A lot of you have mentioned switching back to a stock air box. I am currently running Apexi pod filters as pictured (no idea what type):

Anyway I'm in the middle of getting my car registered and need to do something about the filters. Works out to be around the same cost to swap the airbox or fit a pod enclosure.

What's the most effective air intake option? I understand the stock airbox is suitable for my intended power figure, but what if I want to go beyond that. What is the intended purpose of these pod filters if the airbox does the same job?

Also what would they be worth if I sold them?

Stock air box can suck enough for 400kw

+ more. Stock airbox FTW!

Which is what I'm hearing everywhere. So what's the point of the pod filters? Are they of any benefit in any application?

[r32-25t]

The stock 33 one will flow 400+ but has anyone done it with a 32 one?

Never seen 400 + but Sloane did 370 with -5's at 21ish PSI on 98 IIRC.

Watch the mighty car mods episode of pod filters. They will explain it all

Here is the latest -7 and e85 result. Std rb26 with camgears and r32 gtr airbox.. Saw no gains over 22psi..... but a decent gain from 312rwkw on pump 98.

More info of the setup? Decent gains there!

[Hadouken]

Thats not decent, that is mammoth! I have never seen a gain that big on the same boost by just changing fuel!

E85 FTW!

This is the 2nd -7 + e85 50kw gain i've seen in the last 3 months, just shows that e85 is really needed in some cases to maximise the set-up potential

[Hadouken]

On the same boost?

I've said this 11Ty times E85 is hands down the best mod you can do! I made 38kw more on 4psi less boost THEN screwed the boost up and went from 278kw-336kw! Enough said! Whoever is wanting $1300 for an E85 is having a lend of you too that's a RIP! Enough !!! from me as my throats getting sore.....E85 FTW

Don't be stupid mate.. Just get bigger bloody cams

[Mick_o]

Lol oh yeah I forgot about cams?! you want at least 290° duration

[GTR_JOEY]

Absolute bare minimum!!

$1300 was for a base e85 tune, it was $2k for a flex tune!!

Who in Sydney is doing it cheaper??

[GTR_JOEY]

Unigroup...not the cheapest but when it comes to tuning you want the best

Don't cheap out on tunes
