Apexi power intake

[CupraWay]

Just received my Apexi airfilter from ebay.
I'm very surprised. Looks really good and read some good things about it. It's a dry filter so i think it should be ok for the maf. Anyone has one of these on his Ibiza?

Found a nice test to.

My flatmate had a pair of those on his RX7, sounded awesome

 

[Blucupra]

Have you already fitted it to your MK3?

looks good btw, good test too

 

[CupraWay]

I haven't fitted it yet. Have to wait till the weekend, very busy at work

I bought the filter directly from this guy http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50027156393&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESE:IT&rd=1

Paid 110 euro for it. I bought it directly because he said it's cheaper that way because otherwise he has to pay a fee for paypal.

 

[Martyn]

You can get them for about half of that if you dont mind waiting for it to come from Japan...

The guy has a good rep from the Honda boys.

 

[CupraWay]

Hmm, actually that guy isn't that cheap

28 pound for filter
12 pound for adaptor
22 pound for shipment

62 pound altogether and maybe you get charged for taxes to.

I think i paid a fair price. 110 euro delivered to my door!

 

[cuprabaz]

My Filter arrived yesterday I paid £55 all in. They retail for £120+!!!

barry, where are you mounting the filter? just currious, wanted an induction kit for a while, but to much to choose from...

 

[cuprabaz]

Before the MAF

 

[dav]

some boy you barry! lol

but seriously, is it instead of the bodged dynatwist/coffee tin/wot ever its ment to be.....

 

[stoneyfordNI]

did apexi not go bust months back??

 

[cuprabaz]

Dunno yet might keep the butchered tin for summer but just leave it open during the winter months. Even sitting in traffic today on the way to work max inlet temp was 12 deg C!!

 

[Bogwoppit]

can we please have some photos of the apexi fitted.
Is the adapter fitted to the back of the filter the right size for a 70mm MAF or did you need a reducer?

Does it sound good?

 

[cuprabaz]

The adapter is attached to the filter via 4 bolts.

The adapter is 3" so it is too big for the Ibiza MAF and a reducer is required.

 

[Forbez]

Barry, how'd you know the inlet temp's, were you vag.com'd or do you have an ACT guage, if so, where's the sensor fitted too?

 

[cuprabaz]

I got an ACT gauge, cheap thing from Courtenay Sport but i don't think they sell them any more it is pretty temperamental, saying that it was very accurate when i tested it against UKAS calibrated PRT's in a temperature bath. I don't think the standard sensor in the manifold is up to much as it seems to read 6 deg C too high even at start up.

Just slid it underneath the the samco before the TB.
