I was wondering what you guys thought of this filter element and of its components.
http://www.rx7trix.com/store/customer/prod...5&cat=90&page=1 Does anybody have this intake? Will it have everyhing I need for my Turbo II? What would you recommend? '=' |
There was a test of filter elements and apexi came out the best.

you mean apexi had an air filter test and apexi came out the best. it does seem to be a decent filter but the way they attach it is dumb

yeah there wont be a noticeable power gain at all, but youl be able to hear your turbo spool :-D

I'm pretty sure it wasn't done by apexi as the website I saw the test on look ed pretty home-brewed. Regardless its just an intake, you won't noticed anything between companies, espeically at low power levels.

its not the power, its the filtering, and who paid for the testing. look at the bottom of the link, apexi did the testing. they win, thier biggest competition is hks, which loses

i read it, then read it again. where does it say "apex'i did the testing" ?
Important Notes regarding the comparison: - Extracts of this article have been transcribed from a Japanese article featured in Revspeed Magazine, August 1999. - The original test was based upon the results found when using filters specifically made to fit the Toyota Supra. However, the filtration is unlikely to differ, as all the filtration materials used are the same for every model of car. - 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. |
A filter is a filter. Theyre all gonna pretty much do the same thing and if it doesn't filter everything owell. Thats what your turbo is for.

Yeah they all do the same thing but some are better than others. And if it doesn't filter everything owell that's what your turbo is for u say...geeez |
Lol, yeah more or less.
I see people running open turbos, so i just kinda figure; if my car at least has a semi-filter, i'm ahead of those guys anyways. |
alright guys thanks for the 411.
Ill install it and show you whats up. '=' |
