Intake options

[Spatt]

Hi Guys and Gals....

 

Whats the thoughts on a nice after market intake filter?

 

i heard you lose power but gain a nice intake noise... and ... ...not that it really matters much, but i guess you lose fuel economy too?

is it something that can be removed pretty easy? so can 'Braaaaap' round some 'A' roads for a while then go to asda with my standard intake when i want to hear the exhaust?

 

So recommendations on an intake that sounds great please!

 

oh.... what the fudge is a pop charger ?!

[Ekona]

Fuel economy won't change

Open filter increases noise but removes bhp

Closed filter increases bhp (for a bit unless you Uprev) and keeps the OEM noise level

Popcharger is a brand name like Typhoon

Popcharger is cheap and will do all you need it to

 

 

Conclusion: Buy a Popcharger

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

Or a Takeda as you get a nice shiney intake tube

[Spatt]

Ok sold...how much for a pop and can you fit at home?

[marzman]

20 minute job to fit a pop charger, very easy. Used to have one on mine and loved it, only took it off as i'd read that you lose bhp, but i do miss the aural pleasure.

Thumbs up Takeda

 

My first mechanical mod, went quite well, only minor blood loss!

[Bems]

+1 for takeda. Sounds good and looks the bizz too

[Spatt]

Double intake!

 

Easy enough to fit? Kit on ebay for like 200quid might have to wait for me.

 

Oh and as for power loss... I drive a 206 1.1 at the mo... gunna struggle noticing I think

Twin intakes are on the 2007+ 'HR' engined 350z's. Single intake on the pre-07 cars.

Takeda intake is top class, received mine from tarmac at the start of the week and I think am gonna loose my license verrrry soon with being addicted to the purring!lol looks the business too with the pipe too!

[Spatt]

Found a 'popcharger' for about £150 so might get this ordered soon... looking at some engine bays though i have noticed a chrome intake pipe and was wondering does this come with a filter kit or will i fit my popcharger onto one if i buy it later?

I will be selling both an ARC intake and an AEM short ram in the next few weeks when I return my car to stock

Yeah, popcharger is just filter and bracket, if you check on the website there's also a Berk polished intake tube.

 

Takeda comes with the polished pipe so if that's the look you want then its a cheaper option

[Wasso]

ARC sounds the best out them all, but don't expect pop charger prices.

 

The ARC is encased with the filter inside. Also has an etched polished intake tube.

 

ARC FTW!!

Cheers for the heads up.. i'll consider a Takeda from ebay (Around 130quid) not bad... is the intake sound as good as the pop?

[grahamc]

What are the opinions on the BMC CDA induction kit?

£130 ?

 

Its up to you but on ebay they are £130 + £45 delivery plus you will get charged customs vat and duty and usually a UK courier admin charge which will make it around £225. Which makes it £20 more than what I am selling them on the website for
