Huey's "Illest" Facelift ZRE

[itsmehuey]

Look what finally decided to show up! About bloody time!

Now, any fellow Melbourne ZRE'ers wanna help a fellow n00b ZRE'er out with the install? :)

[jeffy]

good luck installing :)

thanks Jeffy - def going to need assistance (and tools too) from other members, that's for sure - or i'm just going to have to pay a mechanic to do it.. (which for some reason I wouldn't trust with my car or my intake).

just had a look in the box, and I don't know if it's just me, but my pod filter that came with the kit seems to be a dry filter?

Did anyone else get the same filter? X-1014-BB? Or did most people get an X-1014-BR (which I assume is the normal oiled one) with theres?

Huey dont bother with the stock INjen pod filter, unless you want to throw a CEL. Most of us threw CELs with the stock pod. I'd strongly advise you to get a 3A Racing Pod filter like the rest of us have as after the 3A Racing pod change i never threw a CEL again. Lasted 2 big cruises and 2 track days and still going strong. I wouldnt worry about putting the Hydroshield on it either unless your thinking of driving through a river, its just gonna restrict the airflow.

Thanks for letting me know Johnnie. Which 3A racing pod filter should I be looking at getting? (not sure what model/part # I should buy)

[Ascendant Rice]

Drift performane is made by same company. Sounds bit meaner than 3a aswell can get them at autobarn

[itsmehuey]

Ah never mind found out that there's only 1 particular 3A racing pod lol

3A RACING Power Stack Filter

The 3A Racing Power Stack has all the

features & finish of the Simota Power Stack.

Width 160mm Height 130mm Neck 77mm

Where would I be able to pick one up? Wouldn't have time to go to Australian Auto during the week! :( And wanna get it in time for the coming weekend.

@Will: it might sound meaner, but I heard 3A racing pod is best filter hands down, for the amt of airflow.

I am using stock Injen pod filter, and have driven 18000km on it since installation.. No CEL. but my pod filter sit much more higher than non-facelift models, I can use my towel to clean my filter everytime during car wash. it is reachable by your hands..

According to my dyno, AF ratio is running very healthy, not a sign of too rich or too lean, no reason why CEL should throw.

I even not reset my ECU after installation, still no CEL (of coze I reset the ECU much later on)

I guess I'm just wanting to be precautious with mine - I have a facelift too but I heard that there were other facelift owners who installed with the stock injen filter and threw CEL. But I guess if I can't get my hands on one before the install this weekend, I'll stick with the stock Injen filter until I can get my hands on the 3A Racing one.

OK so the 3A Racing Pod Filter is ordered and hopefully will be here by the weekend. If not, sticking with the stock Injen pod filter until the 3A arrives.

Good luck with the install mate! Hope it all goes smoothly.

[itsmehuey]

thanks mate. getting assistance from Johnnieboi so I'm sure all will be fine :)
