mctwistuk Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Next mod on list is twin induction kits and so far have sourced k&n on eBay for £317 and just wondered what they were like quality wise and if there is a similar priced alternative and best place to buy from?

GMballistic Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi Chris, This is what Bems is recommending fyi; http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350z_06-08_Takeda_Retain_Short_Ram_Intakes/350z-350z-TR-3004P_.aspx There are other choices on there though if you are willing to part with more cash. Link: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=dd876c45-6d4a-41df-bc25-7c19903fe703 It is worth noting that the general consensus is that a good set of performance panel filters is the best for performance although if you're after more noise & a bit of under bonnet bling then the intakes are the way to go.

mctwistuk Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Looking at cobra sport y pipe then a remap after this so any power loss will hopefully only be temporary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctwistuk Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 So takeda instead of k&n typhoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Most suffer from heat soak so even with a map will not perform as well as closed box and performance panel filters. Save the cash and get some high flow cats before the uprev instead... Edited September 30, 2014 by OllyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the cash and get some high flow cats before the uprev instead... That or HFC's would definitely be a better use of the cash imo. Stillen air induction kits are good for avoiding heat soak but then for the HR you're talking £475-£540 for the intakes. I have a Stillen air induction kit on my DE Zed and that was £250 ~ with the polyurethane heat shield it's basically an enclosed box just like OEM but with a K&N cone filter inside.

Bodyboarder81 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The twin stillen ones look lovely under the bonnet though . A future purchase of mine I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mctwistuk Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 is there anywhere that gives discount to members as I think that we will be getting some sort of induction kit as the car isn't tracked or anything so heat soak won't be an issue.

rabbitstew Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The standard dual airbox setup on the HR is a highly developed ram air system, which apparently gives the car an extra 9bhp or something at speed. The general consensus when I looked into modifying my HR was that the stock panel filter & air filter design was the best one to have. You could replace the filters with cosworth or hks ones but they gave zero performance benefits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed to hks because they work out cheaper as they are washable and green 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an induction kit then go for it. Lot's of forum traders on here that can offer you decent prices, sometimes with significant savings over buying elsewhere. Give Chris @Tarmac Sportz a PM to see what he can do for you is my advice.

jimboy2 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You made a decision yet op? I really fancy a induction kits for mine but not sure what to get. Only want it for the noise and to make the engine bay look a little different. Doubt I would notice any minimal loss in power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
