my car(old iswara) jus changed 2 k&n drop in.. it actually give more lower end torque n betta throttle response.. lower fc.. the diff is noticeable.. worth it..

lower fc not much noticeable for me.coz when u changed ur filter,u'll intended to floor ur pedal more.haha...

My car , GTi extractor is 4-2-1 ad....wat's the point to change to 4-2-1 again? Or u mean to make it longer... like 4--2--1....?

Added on July 8, 2007, 2:22 pmI hav a question here....

Is open pod filter washable?

This post has been edited by DaViDcHiN: Jul 8 2007, 02:22 PM

I knoaw only 2 open pod that can be washed. K&N and Blitz's SUS

Hah? Means Apexi cannot be washed?

as far as I know cannot la. After awhile must change the filter

icic....-.-"

No wonder K&N so expensive la....

Since u have aledi say that u have a 4-2-1 extractor, maybe u go for quality 4-2-1 extractors from reputational exhaust house like JFA, hotbits or powerzone, but i cant guarentee whether it will make tremendous improvement for ur ride.

For that, tuning the ECU using an aftermarket ECU might help, just tune it to have more power on low-mid range and that might help.

Another idea which i can think off is using S flow exhaust.

Guys, what bout top speed?

I heard Open Pod will decrease for top speed, but improve pick up.

While for drop in, pick up also improve, but just a bit compare with Open pod, but top speed better than open pod?

Am I serve with the right info? Feel free to correct me~

but i heard tat althought k&n open pod can b used forever but after quite sum time in the engine bay, the filter will have defect(mayb melt) due to high temp in the engine bay.. so oso need 2 change new 1..

top speed improvement is a bonus...

usually there will be some improvement but usually its in the region of around 10-15km/h speed increase..... anything more its a bonus..

want more speed increase, go do your exhaust...

OMG....all in all..it cost a bomb to increase the BHP....better put turbo....

^^Then you have to worry about JPJ after that.

What do you expect from a NA engine? The nature of NA engine is pure strength from the engine, unlike turbo where you need to bolt on. The good thing about modding NA is, you can mod anyhow you like and of course it will cost a bomb.

So if you are craving for easy power, just go turbo

aiyo... change filter also can make so much fuss.... hahaha....
if u go for turbo still also need to put air filter ma.... dat time create another thread asking "turbo cars use drop-in better or open-pod better" meh??....

In conclusion, to get more power for the car, either using forced induction or NA, alot of money is needed. There no such thing a bang for buck modding. Great power comes great responsibilities (injection more money to be good parts, maintaining it, more money for fuel) my fren
