K&N FIPK? [Merged 9-7] intake filter adapter kn

[NatesEclipseGST]

What is a good site online, that I can good a good price on a K&N FIPK for my car?

 

[blackifre22]

i have it and like it

 

[rdogg07]

its basically just a filter and adapter right? it doesn't come w/ any pipes or anythign?

 

[Session101]

That's right, the K&N FIPK does not include an intake pipe. It only comes with the filter and adapter for the MAS. It is an excellent filter for the 4G63.

I use the A'pexi Power Intake on my car since you don't have to mess with that damn oil crap, I remember seeing a test and A'pexi out performed all of the other filters, it's washable and reusable too, I picked mine up at http://www.rpmmotoring.com I paid $121.20 shipped to my door.

thats a good idea. i always see cheap ones on ebay.

how come they dont make full size cai. all i can find are short ones?

doesnt really make a difference any air that enters the turbo is gonna turn instantly hot because turbo work off exhaust fumes.

well right now i have KN drop in filter. is that good enough. or is a cone filter better.

can i just get a cone filter and put it on and remove the air box??

The FIPK is awesome and it HUGE...allows plenty of air flow. Deffiently worth the money I paid for it. Messing with the oil is not hard at all.

The reason they don't make CAI for the turbos is....look at where it would have to go(clue: in front of Pass. wheel) now...is there something there? Right...the Intercooler. If you get a front mount then it is possible...and it is worth it too...it just takes custom fabricating. The reason it is worth it is because the MAS measures Air Intake Temps and they affect timing...if the ECU sees 50-70 degrees cooler air because its not affected by under hood temps you will get better timing and thats a good thing

 

[rdogg07]

the FIPK, is just cone filter that you mount on the existing plastic tube right? so couldn't i just buy a KN cone and mount it on there for half the price??

Well, you could get a Buschur CAI, but you would need either a MAFT, VPC, or stand alone. In which a CAI's purpose is somewhat defeted because the MAS/MAFT is not on the intake pipe and air temps/density arent an issue there. Im getting the CAI to fill up some space in my bumper, since I had to ditch the stock fogs for my FMIC

I think there's a blockage in my rifle barrel, could you take a quick look while I hold the trigger?

Turbos DON'T work "off exhaust fumes". They work from exhaust HEAT and PRESSURE.

Air drawn into the turbo has NO CONTACT with the exhaust, and the exhaust temperature has essentially NO EFFECT on the temperature of the intake air. The intake is heated from the air being COMPRESSED by the turbo.

Yes...they do make one...but I am thinking of custom fabing something that I will connect to the stock MAS and bring down into the fender well and bring the Filter down there. I already cut the hole under the filter bigger...I actually need to open it a little more...then I just need to get some pipes bent. Basically.

any idea where i can get an adapter??

any help would be great, thanks

 

[DSMSpyder99]

most vendors sell them but here is one WeRd

 

[rdogg07]

thanks for the link. but i don't wanna buy the fipk cuase its to expensive. i'd rather just buy the same filter for 50bucks and buy a intake pipe.

 

[CornerHard]

If you buy a generic cone intake, it won't be as big, and won't come with all the appropriate adapter plates to fit your MAS. I have a FIPK and give it a big

You can get them for $120 from RRE: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclintake.htm

I got mine from DSS...and I got a DEAL on it.

so since the air just heats up anyways once it enters the turbo then is there really a point to getting a whole intake.

how is the metal tube better then the current plastic?

should i just get a filter and mount it on?

1). Yes, to suck cooler, denser air into the intake track.

2). First off, its bigger diameter than the rubber achordian pipe, which means your flowing more air into the intake (good). Second, its metal so it wont resonate the sound of your turbo so you also get the benifit of some spool up noise.

3). If thats all you can afford now. But you should get an intake at the same time if possible.

 

[rdogg07]

ok sounds good! i will get a whole intake, thanks
