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.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
