I'm looking to buy an Apexi high flow panel air filter here in Australia, but i'm not sure where to get one. I tried both supercheap and autobarn, but they only sell k&n.

I want an apexi one because I don't have to maintain it by re-oiling it every few thousand km.

I see that nengun.com sells them at a good price including shipping, but not sure on how fast they are at shipping. Any experience with them?

cheers!

i was looking at using EMS - International Express Mail Service. It says it'll take approximately 3-5 days after the order is sent from japan, but just want to know how reliable it is to buy from there and is the estimated shipping date accurate?

buy a 3A racing filter this out preformed all the rest of the big name brands in flow and filtration $30

not trying to put down your recommendation, but just wondering if anyone can confirm this? I've never heard of it that's why.

Also, is it a pod filter, or can you get a direct fit panel filter to fit in the stock box?

cheers for the info guys!

What do you guys think of the BNC panel filters? I was recommended to get one and it seems to work great, very high flow.... On the dyno it makes very little difference if it is removed or not...

Think it was something like 250rwkw vs 254rwkw on back to back runs... Snorkle, BNC Panel and stock airbox vs no airbox lid or filter... (Open bonnet)

Thats pretty impressive. Do you have a comparison between those stats and pod filter stats? I used to run a K&N panel filter on my 33 with stock air box and intake. It was pretty good (better than Ryco etc filter) but then when I fitted a pod It felt a bit better. I think a good pod in a good ensulated enclosure is the way to go though.

Nope, I've never run a pod filter on my 33...

Also keep in mind that the close power figures could have been because there was some other restriction which was limiting the power (exhaust, intake piping, turbo, etc)

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
