HKS, 02RUSH or K&N filters?

People tend to forget the first role of the air filter. It's is to FILTER air. Some of the higher flowing ones don't filter out as much dirt in the air, but give high HP readings. Restrictive ones don't give as much HP.

There's no need to spend big bucks on air filters because they give only a few KW's of difference, which you won't feel!!! Who can tell the difference if their car has 0.8kw more?

From experience, the HKS flow good, but it lets too much dirt get inside. Plus the filter paper is not re-usable. The Blitz filters are expensive and also let in a far amount of dirt. The best one I've used so far is K&N, but just be careful not to use too much oil when re-washing it. Don't know much about the rush ones though.

pretty self explanitory..

whats better ..

in airflow, noise, durability...:P

Why not mention Apexi ??

That's what I'm using and its a perfect mixture of all the above.

The airflow is just below HKS (but better than the other two), noise is super sweet and top durability.

:burnout:

- Apex'i are a piece of crap

That's all i know :D

Get the facts first :P

Apex'i are behind only to HKS and maybe Trust. :)

They are better than K&N in performance.

The sound they produce is stunning :P just listen to my car!!

Well I was looking at the Blitz filter, but after reading that test i'm gunna look into the A'pexi one. That test seemed pretty straight forward and the results speak for themselves. It's not ALL about performance...well ok it is mostly, but I still want a pod FILTER...not bit of plastic letting all bits of crap into my turbo and motor and everything else.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
