What induction kit with a FMIC?
I'm going to be fitting a Hybrid GT Spec FMIC to my car soon but from looking at pictures i cant keep my airbox. So i'm guessing i need to get a decent induction kit. What do people recommend? Anything that i should avoid?
|
RCMS are about the best ones to get imo, they are not cheap but you really do get what you pay for.
|
Just had a look on their website and it's for a V3 onwards mine is a MY96 Version 2 STi. Any other ideas!!!
|
Nice big K&N cone and make up your own into the wing or through to the bumper vents.
|
Apexi
|
I ran a K&N 57i with my hybrid FMIC
|
Any dry filter induction kit, steer clear of the ones that use oil in the filter
The APEXi Power Intake is a dry filter where as the K&N's are oil filters (its the oil that retains the dirt), the oil from the K&N can be sucked through from the filter and play havoc with your MAF and potentially ruin it costing you more money in the long run. |
Got an Apexi on my V2 as well... K&N`s are oiled and i`ve heard that can mess up your MAF
|
APEXi
|
Had a Pipercross on my V2 MY96 for 3 years now with no problems.
|
got a Blitz on mine
|
Apexi or HKS SPF.

Non ABS Only however you would require a map tweek with this kit.

I've got an HKS here, as recommended to me by Mocom Racing ;)
really please with the Hybrid FM, great value and great noise when coupled with a blocked off, ported td05 :) |
I would stay well clear of the HKS filters, they are horrible and sticky.
Stick with K&N or RCM if you can find one and you can't go wrong... |
My local tuning company recommended the HKS one when i phoned up, just got to find one now!!!! I like the look of the one posted by *Un-ink* but don't think it will fit!
|
The HKS is crap would not touch it with someone else's barge pole, apexi or K&N are the ones to go for:

Problems with the APS CAIK (inner wing kit) are that they can make you run approx 30% lean untill mapped, and fitting a FMIC with it (ESPECIALLY a hybrid kit which is a PITA to fit anyway) will be a hard job, as it occupies the void in the wing that the IC pipework needs to use. |
K&N57i probably the best. Works well and seems MAF friendly.
It's what I run with my hybrid. Ns04 |

So where can you buy big F*** Off Apexi cones for a custom induction install ? Seems all the universal ones are the same ?:) :)
|
They recommended the HKS because they had had good results with them and they can be picked up quite cheaply. They don't stock them so that wasn't there incentive.
Is there ans APS kit for my car (MY96 Version 2 STi) and where from? Wheres the best place for Apexi or K&N filters? |
I would like to know if someone already try the Greddy AIRINX filter??
Thanks |
Got a K&N for mine, no problems whatsoever.
|
Pipercross on my one. Would`nt mind a Blitz tho :norty:
