I'm almost convinced .
But I gues when Simon Norris built a 770bhp Evo costing over £70k he cant have known about that little webpage eh ?
And how many times have you run a car on rollers and how many times has it produced exactely the same power, the fact the person doing that test takes the differences in power so seriously suggests how little he knows about what hes doing. which also makes you wonder how did he test the performance figures ?
And I dont think throwing sand on your air filter with it attached to a hoover is particularly a good way of testing filtration, whats to stop more sand hitting it in 1 test than in the next ? and do you know how much static electricity is casued by a hoover, enough to attract alot of dust to any given object, whats to say in each test different levels of static were apparent ?
And correct me if I'm wrong but isnt it also a foam filter fitted to the 200mph skyline sitting up at hiteq ? I gues they havnt seen that web page either .

LOL....there are alot less variables using a vacuum than there are dyno testing the different filters.
different people use different things in their cars. Im not saying they are wrong nor am i trying to convince them that they should change....as you are so adamant in having substandard filtration.
The author of this thread asked for opinions. I gave mine you gave yours. I have physical proof you have the opinions of tuners.
Ask anyone on this board which filter works best for the R....you know what they will say? Apexi.
I dont like cotton filters because i hate to clean them. Which is why i use a Blitz SUS stainless mesh one. Mine may not filter dust as good as the apexi but the performance which the filter delivers will last alot longer between cleaning periods. Not to mention they dont chunk up when exposed to heat for long periods.
Keep heat away from the foam filters and you will be ok. Keep in mind maintenance on them will be higher as well as you cant really clean them...you have to throw them away and buy new foam elements. And seeing as how the majority of UK prices seem to penetrate through the wallet and into the comsumers rear end i would think some one would rather spend 150 quid up front rather than the same 150 then another 20 every 3-4 oil changes.
Longevity below average
Maintenance costs above average
Filtration below average
Power delivery below average
You want to know why they use those filters on those cars....space constraints, the other filters are alot longer from nose to coupler.

I'm gonna stick a Dyson hoover one in my airbox :lol:
Seriously though - which is the best for the R?
Seriously though - which is the best for the R?
its up to individuals choice, however the majority of R owners recommend the apexi. end of story!
i have the hks and i will admit it isn't the greatest, i'm hoping to change it soon.
lets stop the argumentative side on here, everyone is entitled to their opinion without someone jumping down their throut. think what u like, if one type of filter works for you go for it.

that was uncalled of me i appologizeMoon said:I'l ignore the bit you editted out of your message m8, sounded more like a personal experience than a stereotype
and the fact that i said foam filters suck donkey balls is my opinion and i do have some facts to back it up.
And usually when ever any air filter threads pop up people usually respond with the apexi indution kit...thats why i said that. If its different off the forum i cant comment 8)
I still stand by my point. Apexi cotton gauze filters rock. HKS & Blitz metal filters roll. Foams....gone country

Blitz SUS is where its at. In the end of the day little bit of dust is gonna get burnt to crap in the engine. Yeah they let more through but in the end of the day its minute particles. Look at those people who use a bit of mesh. As long as nothing too big or solid is going though, i.e stones etc I cant see dust killing it over a short period. IMO foam filters are too restrictive, that and I like the noise my metal filter make :lol:

I was actually tempted to go for a metal filter because I like the look of them, but now you mention a sound I'm gonna look into it a bit more

Another thing to think about with a steel filter is that it will conduct heat and therefore the "cold air" will be heated up a bit (resulting in less dense inducted air/power). Similar to having a steel intake pipe I guess.Nad said:

I made(badly)a cold air box with a feed from scoop-similar in idea to SE one but not as good.Inside box was an SUS and it never ever got hot.After a blast it was cold to the touch.
I've seen the SE box filter and I wouldn't use it on my car.I liked the box dseign(both types)but not the way the filter lay in it.IMO it wouldn't stop enough crap for my liking.

Dan was running the Blitz induction it. Ran it on Abbeys dyno thingy, then changed it for the Apexi powerintake... ran it again. Gues which filter is now on the car :roll:
