I was thinking of magenta mesh to mix it up with my gunmetal grey

Oh son of rajab don't do that!!! If my blue mesh caused a riot, the magenta mesh will bring armageddon!!!

[nugzy31]

exactly!!!!!

[Krishy]

just come out of the closet Ben and say that u wanted pink mesh....dont just name a colour close to pink

no go zone....

On the ol RB20det there was a noticeable improvement in spool and the sharpness of boost transition.

I'm not keen on the idea. Mesh stays for me.

cant c how it would create 11% more flow.... not really classed as one of the biggest restrictions out there, just think about how tightly wound a pod filter is.

gl with it though...

lol i didnt expect this much response! it basicly says in the article that its slowing flow, just another thing to get past b4 it gets sucked in to the turbo.. theres a pod there to filter stuff out... what can it be good for... im not 100% keen on it i just thaught id see what u all thaught of it... as roo and a few other said... will it be noticable?? im not soo sure! might leave it for now when ive got enough $ to blow on a d-jectro i might try it but for now/ever thay stay id did say that 26s have the best results with it.

No need to use the "C" word mate.

Hi, I did this mod a few years ago to my 300zx TT and did notice a power increase. On the downside though I believe low rpm/speed driveability suffered a small amount.

I think most people making serious amounts of power remove the mesh. I know of a few that have done it including myself. Probably wouldn't make much difference on cars running low boost, say 12psi or less but when im running 18+psi removing the mesh would make a much larger difference. 420+rwhp RB26 sucks in a hell of a lot of air.

Or, just ditch the 60mm afm's and upgrade to the 80mm z32's
