Will the kit rx7store.com offers bolt up to an 87 n/a? I know it says 89-91, but is there a difference? I'd really like to go with the Apexi for better filtration.

From what I heard, Apexi provides the best filtration and max flow. I think the only stopping you is attaching it to the AFM on an 86-88, you might just need the adapter.

Yep, that's why I wanna go with Apexi, but if I have to I'll go with the K&N setup. I just read the website that tested four aftermarket airfilters and liked what I saw.

Waiting for someone who's maybe used this kit on an 86-88.. anybody?

HKS adapter at k2rd.com

it adds $25 to the price.
Go K&N. The difference in hp, if any, would be so tiny it's not wortht the extra $120.

true that 120 more for the apexi seems lame but there is no maintenence ever for it , and it still is a superior filter

This may be stupid, isn't the k&N filtercharger only for N/As? I'm not sure where it attaches so please correct me if I'm wrong. I've been considering one and that's what I've been told.

Wish I could remember the name of the site that did the comparison of filters. Anyway, the Apexi came out the cleanest of the four mentioned. Someone also made a good point about "wet" filters screwing up intake sensors... I think there's some validity to that arguement.

So I'm gonna spend the extra $$ and get the Apexi.. if I can, that is.

I also carry the HKS adaptor at the RX-7 Store. Tomorrow I will take the apexi intake and see if you can mount it to that adaptor.

Excellent!! Thanks! That's exactly what I wanna do. And I'd rather buy from rx7store than anywhere else.

Thanks Jason.

I have the A'PEXi Power Intake on another turbo car (not the TII - unfortunately, I still have the HKS Mushroom 'O Death but will be remedying this soon). The A'PEXi works great.

This only applies to the hot-wire type AFMs fitted to most cars these days. If there's too much oil in the filter, it gets sucked out at high flow and coats the wire, causing it to send false readings to the ECU resulting in a lean out.
This is not a problem at all for the trapdoor and sliding bullet type AFMs fitted to FCs.

Thanks for the info... Noted for future reference.

The Apexi intake will work with the HKS adpator, but you will need a rubber coupler to bridge the gap between the intake and adaptor.
