Rossco_ Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Right after getting a quote from Andy F, im all ready to get it done, the last thing he put on his e-mail was to get a cold air intake as thes ethings respod well apparently, so i aske ye SIDC - users, what does one purchase in this situation??
craig mac Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Rossco Andy recommended as did Wuz an APS cold air induction kit Craig Try Here www.wrc-tech.co.uk or hypertech does them or try one of Roger Clark Motorsport one.....
STi_Bandit Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 what APS duct would you recommend as they do a 65mm one and a 70mm? Martin

z1000 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Are they any different to a k&n typhoon or the other similar ones out there ?
craig mac Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, or so i am told The actual Filter cone is mounted inside the wing, and not in the engine bay. Correct me if i am wrong....... Craig
craig mac Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 From Andy F's Site "Our preferred solution is to ensure a direct cold air feed to the turbo at all times. One of the most effective ways to do this is by mounting the air filter in the void between inner and outer wings. This area is fed with cold air from the front bumper and is isolated from the hot area behind the radiator. Selection of the correct air filter type is very important as certain models can cause premature mass air flow meter (MAF) failure due to vibration, dust or oil contamination."
steve_nairn_sti Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I have an APS CAI in my MY03 and it certainly seems to do the job well! []
z1000 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 The typhoon fits like that by going through the wing. I was told a normal under bonnet cone filter aint worth the bother when i asked my scooby dealer
z1000 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 So is this a piece of junk then ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A%3AIT&rd=1
st3ph3n Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 These mods are probably decent, but when we're talking about a mod that's not really going to break the bank then buying one that's been well tested by other people from a decent brand is probably a safer best. Sure you might save £50 now, but when bits of the engine make their exit out the exhuast you'll regret it.
z1000 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Personally i wouldn't be in a hurry to put one on but i just wondered how much better the more expensive ones are ?
slo2 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Believe it or not I was talking to a F1 designer today regarding my Subby (well actually about building houses but I had the sub with me so the interesting conversation was about it) .Easiest way for more power is to lower temps. Allow the hot air arround engine to escape (change the hinges to leave a gap at the windscreen edge of thebonnet), FMIC, cold air induction. Then if your really serious oil coolers for engine and gearbox.
Fonzy Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Ross, I had an APS cold air induction kit on my last car. It's very loud, seems to echo in the wing. But I'd be carefull with the MY00 as they use a K&N Filter and as said above is more than likely to knacker the MAF. A better option would be to use ducting to catch cold air from the vent below the right indicatior and direct it to the standard air box. Do a search it's been done heeps of times before. I wouldn't like to see my old car go pop!! Al
