Review: Racecraft Carbon Fiber Intake System

[ixeo]

just wondering, the filter is inside the carbon fibre intake, is it cleanable or you have to replace the whole item?

btw, instead of the alternative, the item in the review, will it have a version to fit the new Myvi? the smaller alternatives doesn't look as impressive as the reviewed unit.. if you get what i mean :D

 

[wanzer]

Still no word on smaller cars like the Kelisa haih...i seriously doubt it can fit.Checked it out at Links Sunway.Technicians still havent called me yet %^&*

Ya lor....I also curious to know if I can get one for Kelisa.
Is the filter washable? Or can we use another filter to replace?

 

[SataniC]

yes the filter is washable...same material as KNN's filters....wash...hang to dry and refit them back....

BMC or race craft Cf intake..anyway, here goes my silly question, any CF for Gen2? i really am interested in giving my GENifer a clean and cooler air to breathe. I know where to find race craft. already asked quotation for hood. which im still considering. but do i get BMC? or at least the review? most of the previous post's links are broken. thanks.

hi enthusiasts..!

just purchased this unit..everything went well, got it connected with samco hose as well.
engine bay really look nice,

powerwise...the engine really pulls and feel light.compared to my monster size open pod
i think both got pros and cons..open pod i must say got more punch coz of the big size.
used to run 5' diameter filter.. for this one the lower end feels better.

but.... haa.. i korek a hole at my bumper to fix the supplied c.a.i hose, but in less than 1 hour driving..i reached home at found that the hose koyak and tercabut from the rubber housing i fix to the bumper...

gonna fix it tomorrow morning... then test again for overall review...chows..

2 questions,

1) price RM450 for the set, does the price include the filter?
2) can it fit into Hyundai Tiburon?

 

[Joeker]

If engine bay space allows, it'll fit almost any engine/car.

Review: Open pod air filter with carbon fibre heat shield

Last Saturday I decided to replace my GTi's stock air filter with an open pod air filter.

As you all know that cooler air is denser and it packs more oxygen resulting in a bigger bang. So cold air is better than hot air.

Therefore I didn't want to get any open pod air filter and then later worry about how to shield it from the hot under hood air in the engine bay. Of course I could always get those ready made heat shields but they can be rather expensive and I don't want the hassle to DIY my own heatshield.

So it's no point having an open pod air filter if it's sucking in hot air right?

Well...lucky for me, I found out about Racecraft's own open pod air filter that comes encased within a carbon fibre heat shield.

So there I was at N1 Racing last Saturday. I saw 2 sizes of the same open pod air filter. The sales person there recommended the smaller one as the larger one won't be able to fit into my Gti's tight engine bay.

The price of the smaller open pod was RM130. On top of that, I had to purchase an adapter to fit the open pod air filter to my MAF sensor. The adapter cost me RM60.

After installing it, I had my car dynotuned. It registered an increase of about 5 horsepower*.

I guess the carbon fibre heat shield does work afterall.

Now my engine seems more responsive and there was no noticeable increase in noise from within the cabin.

Now everytime I open my hood, the first thing that catches the eye is the RaceCraft open pod air filter.

* This result may vary for every individual due to various factor like engine condition, engine oil, petrol, air temperature and any additional mods done prior to the installation ( exhaust system, flywheel, spark plugs, cams, etc )
