Hi guys,

Does anyone know anything about how to clean the SARD Sports Ex (not the "+" model) pod filter? I've also seen it referred to as the Power Intake - although I thought Apexi also used that name...

Here is a link to the official site's product page, although this is the Sports Ex + model (I think the only difference being that you can remove the top).

Here is a link to the Sports Ex + at RHD Japan, has a good closeup of the material.

It looks like it's just paper and the official site says it's a dry filter. I blasted it last night with the manual petrol station tyre pump but it didn't seem to take out that much dirt.

I also found a post on OzFoz.com (had to sign up specially just to see it!) and someone said they used the "solvent from the K&N kit" and it came up fine. What is this solvent they speak of and can it possibly harm some of the resins or anything that may be used?

Any help would be much appreciated - I cannot believe how hard it is to find info on this filter!!

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
