I don't know about you guys, but I'll get APEX'i. With N/A 1~2hp for extra $100 is well worth it. and that's to the wheels. Imagine how much you spend on p-port for about 70-80 hp gain...... hp/$ wise....APEX'i is a lot cheaper. Maybe RX-7 owners forgot, but any hp increase is very very precious to N/A becuase there is limit to how much air 1.3 could suck in.

Also get better engine oil and that'll get you extra ~1hp to the wheel.

power comes at a premium for N/As. don't go cheap. get the best.

Uh, by that logic a P-port engine costs 8,000 dollars. So the Apex'i is NOT ''a lot cheaper''....

Spending over $100 for a negligible gain in power is ludicrous.

 

Sorry but your PP theory makes no sense at all. Comparing a 70-80hp mod to a 1-2hp mod is just silly. And when does a PP give you 70-80hp? (It's about 120-140 over stock actually)

There are much cheaper ways to get 1hp than blowing $100. A properly designed and built DIY cold air intake costs next to nothing and could give more than that. You need to think about how to spend your money wisely, not going for the flashest brandname.

 

Ok fine. So I exagerated a little to justify my plan to buy one in the near future.

NOS!

Ha, what about the "filter adds moie hp and your mods grow" theory. Does this 1-2hp multiply over time once you've gotten mods
And w/ pport comes ned intake manifold, probably a new exhaust, new fuel, new EFI setup or carb setup. PPort is more than port and go. Its like a transformation. Well most of the times.

 

node when the hell are you going to get an rx7??

 

node changed his avatar!

 

Check the lounge, I went to look at one. But didn't get it

hahah went to "LOOK" at one? o man..
get an rx7 man!

 

Damn, dude, what happened to the sweet deal on the 87 TII?

Bah, probably for the best anyway. Somewhere out there is an AE with your name on it...

Well actually if the filters improve the air flow by percentage of flow increase, then the "more Hp as more mods" will hold true. Don't try to say that you get the same hp gain no matter what kind of ports and engine you have becuase that's bull and you know it. This is all said given that the filter hasn't reached its max flow capacity which I'm pretty damn sure anything a normal or a street ported N/A can't produce. I don't know about you guys but those 1~2hp extra helps every bit when you try to beat a built honda engine dropped in a civic hatchback.

i admit $145 is a LOT of money for a new intake that won't do much...so what do i get??

you guys did a good job flaming me for wanting to buy it and then all you said was "there is cheaper out there"

well could you guys please tell me WHICH ONE AND WHERE TO GET IT?? instead of just saying bla bla A'PEXi is overpriced only 1-2 HP BLA BLA

 

Well first off i found the APEX'i one for $135, so I saved you $10. www.horsepowerfreaks.com

But they also just sell the APEX'i filter for $65. They had a test on here somewhere that was done by some magazine or something and they found that APEX'i was the best for performance and for filtering so I do think its worth it. HKS was the shittiest all around I think and let alot of **** in there. You should be able to use the adaptor they sell for like $25 as well so then you got it all for $90 which saves you $55.

 

Heres the intake comparison:

Pretty interesting for all those with the HKS I think.
