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?

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

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

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 :)

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

Who in Sydney is doing it cheaper??

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
