Gaz6002 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Stock, followed by Apexi if you have to have an induction kit for the noises. Steer clear of HKS and any cheap copies. A quick search will reveal all. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 wots the reason for not geting HKS? Basically the fact that they term them "filters" is a bit of a joke altogether. They killed 2 sets of my turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybhoy86 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 mines is coming with a HKS filter already on it but its not the same one as on that thread its the cone shape, do u know anywer i can get the stock air filter from?

Terminator Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 If you want performance, then don't use anything other than the stock air box. All other systems allow hot under bonnet straight into the intake. There are good filters that fit the air box that will increase flow and aid performance.

Keep an eye out in the for sale section mate, try Jezz the breaker on here or you could try Nic for a new one. If you've already got an HKS filter then might be better looking for an Apexi filter just to make things simple but stock is always going to be best. My HKS filters were cones/mushrooms.

AgtX80 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 you can get the ones with the heat shield to avoid sucking hot air in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Here are a couple of options if you do fit an aftermarket induction kit. Blitz Sonic Power http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/images/products/productimages/main/Sonic_P1.jpghttp://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/images/products/productimages/main/SONIC_P2.jpg Power Enterprise Air Impulse II http://power-enterprise.co.jp/english/intake/img/inp_top.jpg http://power-enterprise.co.jp/english/intake/img/1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 how much roughly for a stock one? Stock one will depend which parts you need, do you have a pic of the engine bay you can post? A complete brand new airbox and hoses will be a couple of hundred pounds. If you post photo I can price for you. and how much are those aftermarket ones? I'll pm you details. is fitting the stock one back on a simple job? Yes easy DIY job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 am i correct that if you get an FMIC then you have to get a new filter as the stock box gets in the way of the piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 am i correct that if you get an FMIC then you have to get a new filter as the stock box gets in the way of the piping? It depends which FMIC, the ebay ones don't usually fit with the stock airbox I believe. Most of the decent Japanese brand named ones will fit with the stock airbox.

Does your HKS kit fitted to your car not already include the metal piping? If it does you could just buy a better filter and fit that in it's place (prices sent). Alternatively I could supply a complete replacement induction kit that includes the piping as well. Only the Blitz Sonic includes a heat shield.

Only the Blitz Sonic includes a heat shield. Yeh i think it does nic. It has metal piping and some rubber aswell. Im not looking for the HKS system purely because, of what i have heard about them. So basically nic, which filter would you recommend; Blitz sonic Power enterprise Apexi induction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
