I've never seen #5 before, what is that? The Apexi one was rated the best out of HKS, Blitz and K&N in terms of filtration ability (overall power gain was just about the same across all 4), search for the thread and you should eventually find it. :D

welll thanks guys i think im defently going for the apexi pod.....but what about how ppl have 2 or 3 pods.....whats that all about (i guess for more air lol)....and how does one tell if one needs more then 1

how long do these things take to put in and get runnin......if all goes good ill get one tm haha

takes about 30mins to install

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

Not necessarily, you can have a pipe that splits into two, and run two pods off the one AFM.

Although, its entirely pointless, because the AFM will still be a bottleneck.

Could the AFM cope with having air pass through it at the higher airspeed created having twice the inlet size?

Why would it be at a higher air speed?

The turbo can only suck so much air in...

If there is twice the inlet size, its going to suck the same amount, it just wont be as dense.

all of those jap filters have really poor filtration which is why they have good airflow.

locally made unifilter pods filter much better but still flow well because they have a much larger surface area.

i think top racing sell apexi pm NIB on these forums he works there and should be able to help you out .

and yes go for Apexii have twin apexi pods on my gtr and they are real good (albeit filthy and need replacing)

sorry just realised your over east chec through all sau sponser sites that should be able to help you out

Yeah there was a trend somewhere on here that result from a test between the pod filters to see which ones was the best. I remenbered the apexi one came out on top then the blitz, K& N and then HKS.

Just get any pod filter they'll give you the loud induction sound that your after.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
