Guest mark_bond_007 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi, i know this question has probably been asked a thousand times but, i get paid tomorrow and i can finally start modding my RZ! Induction kit is the first mod i'm gonna make so could anyone tell me which is the best one available, how much is it, and wheres the best place to buy one? I'm after one that'll make it sound the dogs bollox, not that fussed about bhp cos from what i've heard so far they all give about 12-15bhp. I was gonna get a HKS one cos thats what i had on my G-Ltd and it sounded ace, but some people have said the Apexi and Blitz ones are better suited to a supra.

Steve W2 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I think sound wise the Blitz ones do sound good but alot of people don't bother with replacing the air box as it very good as standard on the Supra. I'm sure that you won't get any BHP increases either if your just purchaing standard bolt on filters. Try a search under this topic and you should turn up alot of info.

Justin Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Look here for comparisoons mate. http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/index.html Looks good but I am sticking with my standard one. I don't think increase of bhp is enough to justify the increase in dirt getting into the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 As that comparison states though, it could just be a big PR Stunt to sell lesser filters. The HKS filter could not be that bad from such a great company as them. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Huntley Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 If you are going down the Induction route the Apexi filter is the one to have for best overall filtration and has been proven in independent tests to give the best power gains, although this is debatable with any filter. If looks and sound are your thing then the Blitz SUS power takes some beating! Due to the problems incured by members of the bbs I would steer clear of the HKS unit, which is very overpriced for what it is IMHO. BTW I have both the Blitz and Apexi in stock if your interested!

Guest mark_bond_007 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 well after doing a bit a research i reckon i'm gonna go for the Blitz SUS one, don't fancy wasting money on a HKS one if it might cause problems. The Apexi one might be better but doesn't look as good. They all seem to be around the £200 mark, is this the right price to pay or does anyone know where i can get a bargain?!

Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 yeah the Blitz one looks the best, then the HKS. Thats just looks though. I'd love a blitz one but £200 is a bit steep! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 And the very poor filtration from the blitz too - I'd go Apexi if I got one......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 It's strange that nearly all the big supras have the hks jobbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I know! Sumo Powers 1000bhp beast has 2 HKS filters on it aswell, not sure why all the big power cars have HKS ones when there so inferior compared to the others.... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Originally posted by Willson It's strange that nearly all the big supras have the hks jobbers. Probably cos they filter worse than the others. They let in more air (and dust), a rebuild or new turbo is nothing to the big drag Supras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Still, wouldn't it take years before you need a rebuild just by putting one of those on? That test they did, who did it? Looks from the pics as if it was done in the 80s......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That test they did, who did it? Looks from the pics as if it was done in the 80s......lol My Skyline R33 GTR needed new valve guides, a rebore, pistons and rings, all the valves re seating and 2 second hand turbos due to (IMO) poor filtration. I run F3 engines, which run with no filter at all, so I know EXACTLY what unfiltered air wear looks like... What peoples obsession with tearing perfectly good stock filtration systems off road car engines is I just don't know, only to add a system that may have lesser filtrational ability and definitely gives the engine hot air to breathe...:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
