Anyone got a part number for an sti5 and know where to get the best deal at the moment??

Cheers

 

i got mine from demon tweeks but its not car specific (not sure many are?)

cost me about 80 quid delivered but its enormous!! no idea how its gonna fit in the bay

 

I'm a bit worried about that too.

Currently running an Apexi induction kit but have been told that it'll get a bit restrictive with my next batch of mods. Can barely shut the bonnet as it is.

Oh yeah, part number?

 

um dont know the part number, if you go to demon tweeks and find a filter thats about 18cm wide and high, and supports up to 400bhp NA

 

Hmmmmm.

Might want bigger than that then - 500 is the target.

Cheers anyway

 

yeah but thast 400 NA.....mine will flow more than that (as i have similar aspirations.

It was the largest one that i could find that they did TBH...green do the odd bigger one but again they will be mosnterous.

 

First dibs on the old Apexi filter, if it appears on the market

Grant

 

Rodger that!

 

Think mines a Blitz induction kit... really struggle to shut the bonnet since the FMIC was fitted... the Blitz is quite fat, hopefully it should be abit easier when I trim abit more of the inner wing out to allow the pipe work and induction kit sit lower???

 

Sorry mate, missed the NA.

Will check it out.

 

playsatan the one iv gots not that ****ing big!!!

 

think u can use a landrover one......

 

Got mine from Lateral performance, it's similar to a lamp shade

 

Be careful if you are running a Hybrid FMIC (Neilo) and a MAF based ECU.

The filter is too big to shut your bonnet as it has to go over the FMIC pipe. You can shorten the induction hose only so much before the MAF connection hits the header tank.

Your only real course of action are rotate the Maf housing through 180 degreees and lengthen the connector wires, or get a smaller induction kit.

 

Good call Mark as yes, I'm runing a Hybrid FMIC.

Should be going mafless soon though.

 

This one not big enough?



K+N induction kit MY93-96

 

Its that still true of a newage car? as i believe the pipework is of a different design to yours. It will remain to be seen, if it cant be used then a different filter will have to be purchased.... thanks for the heads up though, ill wait on the call from API to say it wont fit!!!

 

Playsatan, if your turbo is going to be clocked then one of the big K&N filters and aluminium trumpets from Lateral Performance or RCMS.

If its not going to be clocked, ie standard position, then i would suggest you get the K&N Filter, Trumpet with MAF facility, and Turbo Intake pipe from RCMS.

All excellent quality kits

 

not sure, do you have any pipework pics?

I ended up seling my Big K&N, (RCM kit) and putting a normal 57I size filter on. could have used the big one with long wires, but to get enough clearance it protruded so far into the engine bay that i had no room to make an effective cold air box.

interim measure was MAF stuck up in the air, shortened inlet pipe and the wires untaped from the loom to give a bit more play. The RCM filter was hard on the bonnett and FMIC pipe like this though.

with a 57I filter on, all the clearance is back and MAF in o.e position. Have seen a 490BHP classic with this filter so dont think flow will be a problem

It's goign to be a hybrid Garett GT30 in the non-rotated position. Will give RCM a call.

Cheers for the advise guys

 

yeah thanks, im gonna give API a call to see if theyve had issues with it...

 

just went back to look at the measurements and its a little smaller than i thought, 178mm wide, 76mm inlet (standard width i think) and 152mm long

so it MAY fit, i hope it does....then ill figure out how to better protect it from the heat a bit.

I cant get any pics of the FMIC installed as the only copy i have is on a pdf!
