Anyone running the Apexi Power intake with the GReddy FMIC? if so please post pictures and instructions of how you made the intake cones fit in such a tight spot



Thanks

Heh, i have apexi power intake with greddy fmic on an fc.

try upgrading to a M2 or PetterFerrel box. they cost more but they get the air from in fron of the car not after the rad. many people who run intake after the rad have premature air pump falures due to hot air beating up the bearing inside the airpump. but if you don't have an air pump well then don't worry about it. but that 20-70oF do make a difference as far as air density.

Yeah I I'm trying to figure out how to make the APexi system work. Thanks though

oh yea that right they are in the way of each other. dude i don't know what to tell you.

yeah apexi intake only works with the apex i/c i think and the greddy smic... its too big, i had it on my car and instead i made my own intake using some pipe from homedepot flared to fit the black hoses and a small thin k&n filter.. the same size as the ntech ones. I'll takes pics of it whenever i get my buddys camera.

THANK YOU! pics would be awesome!

The arrow in this picture indicates the primary turbo intake hose, this is where the filter needs to go

However, the pipe, shown here blocks that area.

Can some one please post pictures, and instructions if they have a setup like this and made it work?

Cmon people.

its not gonna work.. they are too big, i'm telling you!!!

Thanks Pete. Would you happen to have any pictures of this invention of yours?

here is a picture, excuse the dirty engine bay. I still have one of the APEXi filters on my car, because the shop that carried the filters only had 1 k&N.. lol and i haven't yet gone back up there to get another. Essentially, i took the filter i bought to Home Depot and looked around in the plumbing section. There aren't any PVC pipes that are the right diameter, but they had some nice light aluminum pipes. The pipes however were VERY long.. like 10 ft long pipes, and i would have to have someone cut the pipe to get the 1/2ft. pipe or so i needed. Luckily i found one of the scrap pipes from a previous cut that was perfect. I used regular hose clamps to put the filter on, and what you see is essentially like an ntech kit without the shield. not much to it.

this guy got his apexi intake to work, but he had to cut his intake piping to do it, and used god knows what you re-insert his filter adapters. looks like silicone couplings and some aluminum pipe. i'd just sell the intake and go with the k&ns. all works the same. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Cool, you wouldnt happen to know the K&N filter number would you?

nah i don't, i just went into the shop and looked for the smallest rectangular box, pulled the filter out, and it looked about right. (i have weird luck btw). I lost the box, which contained some very important nuts and bolts, so i have to find it, if i do, i'll letyou know the part #. You can also call up NTech and ask them what the part # is on their kit, just say you are needing replacement filters. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

The apexis will work...there are several people who have made them fit with the Greddy FMIC...however, what you have to do to make it fit is a bit ghetto. I decided to go with the Greddy Airinx intake cuz



1. They came with aluminum pipes to replace the stock accordian pipes

2. I didn't want anything ghetto in my FD

3. I just didn't want to fabricate anything.



I think they are just as good or better than the Apexis...The turbo spooling is a lot louder too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Cool....so um I have an apexi power intake for sale.

that picture shows that whoever's car that is used big white PVC pipe to adjust where to filter sits, a rather cheap alternative to buying a new intake system.
