I bought two Apexi replacement air filter for my car last week off one of the sponsor here.

Got the delievery, quite happy with the goods didn't have time to bolt them on till las weekend. Pulled my old ones out, had them old and new one side by side just to found out my old one is so much better quality than the new one.

My old Apexi has mesh out and in side, much better filter material much more detalis. The new one only has mesh outside, filter material is made off some paper that looks like won't last six months, poor details and most importantly it said Apexi made by APEXIRA!&^@)*^@)#^)

What the fcuk is Apexira? Made in korea too! Not that i'm worry about where its made of, it just that i dont' know wherethe Apexira or Apexera is a fake copy of the real Apexi.

Anyone has any ideas of ever come across this? I dont' want to brag, flame anyone before i found out exactly what's going on, also so that i can warn others too.

Cheers

all the biggest workshops offload the mass production to sweatshops - that's just the way it is (with all industry)

HKS do a lot of their stuff out of thailand - pretty sure they don't write that on the box though

there are only two important considerations

1. R&D - a safe bet in most cases

2. quality control

I brought an AVC-R earlier in the year, and my brother brought a Power FC as well. On both boxes was a sticker claiming that in 2005 Apexi was changing its name to Apexera. Can't remember why though, new owners perhaps? Neither the AVC-R or Power FC were found to be of poor quality.

      2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By CefiroA31 · Posted

      Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
