A Little of Update

Hi guys :)

I would like to wish all my moslem reader, happy fasting in the holy month of Ramadhan. So back to the topic, here are some updates on my ride.

Change to a new lower arm for both sides (sorry i forgot to take pictures) since i spotted bent on my rear lower arm. Other than that, i installed Ultra Racing rear lower arm bar (picture above) to replace the old one. Seriously i can say the Ultra Racing is much more better in giving me better ride handling since the bar is much more thicker than my previous 'no brand' bar.

Other than that, after much consideration, i revert back to standard MIVEC air box after using custom direct cold air intake without any filter in it. Maybe i'm getting older? LOL

By the way, sorry for the lack of update. Thank a million for those who still following this blog. I will update it from time to time.

Regards!

Cold Air Intake

Hi guys.
My current cold air intake (CAI) is very bad in condition as u can see from the picture below;

looks disgusting...

So i made up my mind to change to a new one. This time i chose cold air intake which is different in material because the aluminum one is very easy to crack and become not flexible as before when aging. Picture below is the new CAI that i bought.






That's all for this time. Stay tuned!

New Intake Setup

Hi guys!
I already took out the standard air-box and replace it with a new intake ram. Picture below =D

kamikaze setup

Picture above shows the new intake setup for my engine. From butt dyno, all i can say that the torque at high rpm is much more better but something that i need to take care of is this setup is not suitable for daily driving since it might suck the unwanted things such as stone and so forth. As a precaution i already put some netting in my cold air intake to prevent stones from sucked into the intake.

p/s: for race use only.. lolx

Open Pod Air Filter Comparison

Hi guys!

In today's post, i would like to share some comparison done by Revspeed magazine Japan. Nowadays a lot petrolheads change their stock airbox to open pod air filter. But the question is that which one is the best in flowing as much air as possible, without sacrificing filtration efficiency. The article compares for most popular kits available which are HKS, Apexi, Blitz and K&N.

Important Notes regarding the comparison:

1. Extracts of this article have been transcribed from a Japanese article featured in Revspeed Magazine, August 1999.
2. The original test was based upon the results found when using filters specifically made to fit the Toyota Supra. However, the filtration is unlikely to differ, as all the filtration materials used are the same for every model of car.
3. The cost given for the filters are based on a the kit for an R33 Skyline GTR, except the K & N kit which only currently exists for a Skyline GTS, and are inclusive of VAT.

From the comparison, we can see that Apexi Power Intake wins the test in both filtration and power gains. But for me it is still questionable since the HKS are proven to sell more in the market if compare with others induction kit. I think the battle is futile. So the question still stands, "Which Induction Kit is the best?". You can accept the result from the test then the Apexi Power Intake is the winner but if you are still skeptical don't worry as the performance gains are quite the same =)
