steb9780 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I am going to look into buying a Supra over the next few months and will be breaking my current car. I have a few bits on it that should be alright to put onto the Supra, what do you think. I have an Apex'i dual funnel air filter, Sard BOV and somebody has offered me an exchange on an Apex'i AVC-R for my turbosmart E-boost controller (I don't know what people tend to use on Supra's for boost control)???? What do people think worth keeping hold of??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Dont bother with the filter, stick with the stock air box, its far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 the main issues with using an aftermarket filter are: - poor filtration - heat from the engine bay the Apexi filter seems to have a reputation for being good at filtration according to some tests done against other filters by MKIV.com and you can get heat shields that apparently reduce the amount of hot air getting to the filter an issue i've heard of going the other way though is that aftermarket/hard pipe intercooler kits have been known to get in the way of the stock airbox and therefore require either the stock airbox to be modified or an after market filter to be fitted i loved the sound with the Apexi on, it was like an aircraft taking off sometimes but ended up putting it back to stock when i realised the heat issue. but i keep referring back to this post from mr wilson when i think of putting it back on http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=26369 a decent heatshield would probably persuade me to go back to it for a bit though!
