Homer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Stock is best, aftermarket ones will lose you hp. There's lots of info on the site about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dee_rz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 thank u for your speedy reply, is there seriously no way of any gains with non stock kit or is there a way of getting enough more cool air and stopping hot air getting in etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 the stock airbox is very efficient. Look elsewhere for your gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 You could box it in but its always going to be letting in some hot air from the engine bay. Also the panel area on the aftermarket ones is much smaller than the stock one. If you want an Apexi one I'll do swap with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 i have hks like yours mate and it's very dirty needs replacing bud, kit look so much better but i'm like you and i'm all for power, i only had the car for a month so i'm still learning about the car and what works for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris aka fonz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 When i first got my Sup , Dude told me to ditch the HKS and get the stock one back on , probably get a few more hp . I took mine to a track day at the wk end , i have a heat shield around the filter and after a few laps the surface temp of it was real hot . I ended up taking my headight out to force the cold air in at it . They look nice but i think thats all there good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 If you've got an RZ (which I guess you have from your name) then you can make big HP gains with a decat and associated mods. Again, lots of info available on the site about how to do this properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 If you must have an aftermarket filter, the A'PEXi one is meant to be the best, but just get yourself a free flowing panel filter from Blitz, or HKS or A'PEXi - only £30. Might not make much difference, but won't do any harm either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a price for one pm me, as I may be able to get a good deal from here in HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
