Best Air Filters

[biddy]

Hey I'm looking at putting new filters on my 32 gtr. It already has pod filters on but they have seen better days. What are the best ones to put on?

[old mate]

anything realy. rock some aftermarket panel filters in the standard air box.

Put the standard airbox back on with a cold air feed. Unshielded pods are for homos.

best pod filters we have found so far from our dyno testing is apexi ones

we only lost 2kw on a 435kw rb28dett gtr,

samota is rubbish, one car lost 15kw with one. average is 5-10kw

k&N is alright, just depends on how oiled and how dirty it is.

i havn't done any tests with the foam style hks pod filters

You'll most likely best to stick to Apexi pods since you already have the Apexi elbows, other pods just don't bolt on unfortunately unless you have their elbows.

Interesting .. but if one was looking to buy a 3A Racing filter, where would they look? I can't find much..

Go with what u know, as long as u maintain them, thats more important. I personally use k+n but thats just me. Have had no issues with them at all and easy to clean, Never use'd oil either.... no need. But then again my thats just me??

If your talking about the material, HPI has this ranking system;

1: Metal Mesh filters= excellent airflow, but only filters bigger particles. 2nd best intake method apart from NO FILTER.

2. Oiled= Good airflow, will pick up anything. DONT OVER OIL !!

3. Unoiled/paper= Good allrounder

4. Foam= One of the worst filtration systems . BUT if replaced at common intervals, will do a great job. Beware of loose chunks of foam.

Best airflow= metal mesh

Best filtration= Oiled filters.

K & N are a good run of the mill filter.

Key is to change it often. My cai after a while, kind of rips a hole through the bottom of the filter .

I'm running an Apexi but have also used Power Enterprise with equally satisfying results. Most of the Jap / Aus / US brands will be alot better than the cheap Yum Cha stuff.

Have you tried cleaning your pods?

Just buy the K&N cleaning kit or VHT make a air filter cleaner spray.

Clean it, dry it and bolt it back on.

APexi are good or HKS.

3A Racing pods you can buy from Auto Barn or Super Cheap Autos.
