K&N Apollo

[Ascendant Rice]

Hi i was looking at the K&N Apollo intake system and it looks pretty good on paper it combines the benefit of a cone filter and a stock box. so its legal :) since its enclosed and its available in black so if i get inspected be mr police man he would think it was stock :) heres the link

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/kn-apollo-col...em--black-p5169 the price is pretty good 215 dollars with free delivery :o

i used the search function and found a thread about this intake but didnt have much info. You guys recon its worth a shot. im 95% gonna buy it when i get payd frm work and jsut probably put stock intake back on every service.

heres a vid of how it sounds on a mini

Thanks for posting that up really am considering it for the cappuccino

However for the corolla....the only problem I can see.. is that with the 1zze/2zze the maf sensor is right on the airbox....that is one thing you would need to check.

not sure bout the 1zze/2zze but my mate has a facelift levin and he said he just cut around the maf lol

as with the 2zr-fe apperntly the maf isnt directly on the box ifso it would be as simple as swapping over (yay for warranty)not too sure ill investigate further.

Apperntly the Euros are loving this intake becasue its pretty good. increase hp by around 5-10ish and apperntly it increases low end torque abit.A customer wrote a review for it and he said it took around 10 mins to instal the whoel thing.

with out the cold air feed plugged in its like a short ram with it in its like a cai best of both words i would say.

also this kit will save me from doing some bodgy diy with plumbing from bunnings lol :)

ive got this kit, heres a few pictures of it installed

view of engine bay

ive mounted it here behind this custom heat shield where the battery used to be, note batterys new location

heres the cold air feed

youll still need to get a custom maf sensor mount made up, not hard at all. its a nice peace of kit well made and light, youd expect this from k&n. allso has a sweet sound, though i liked my short ram better had a sweet rexi sound to it. allso finding a place to mount this unit will take some ingenuity

performance: strong midrange and topend, this unit allso has the ability to deflect heat very well, touching the unit after hard driving, i found it to still be as cool to the touch as at start up, though heat sheild allso has some to do with this

ps. if Ascendant Rice puts this on his car before any other zre owners ill be speechless, :o :o come on zre owners mod your cars

i got mine from sxd in granville for $230, id recomend them to any one they have a great team over there

[Ascendant Rice]

Hi Spil, nice set up you got there :) does your cold air feed suck up any water when its pissin down heaps? And it was $230 for the whoel apollo kit? can i please have the address to the place you bought it from? kthx

on a side not after an hour of looking my engine bay ive come to the conclsion that this isnt gonan be an easy job for a num like me but having said that once i figure out a route for the cold air feed i should be sweet this kit should be on in about 4-5 weeks. need to reasearch teh engien bay some more not much space at all :(

the bloddy ecu and some box are right next to the intake box so not much room to work with. and because of the intake direction the pod will be facing the wrong way so makes even harder to get the cold air feed to the front left side hope fully i could make the pipe go under neath the pod.

heres a few pics so u understand what im talking about.

from the pictures shown here installing a k&n kit or custom cai would be simple, the fact that u have a separate maf helps alot
