Apexi Open Pod on my Lexy...

[Thermodynamics]

Bro, where you do your set up? Your intake system is designed specifically for your car right? Or custom made?

[Sickscientist]

Process> Performance Spark Plugs - DONE!

 

Guess the only thing missing is the Headers... any good suggestions? Btw, it should be LTA approved right?

 

Intake headers yes... But grey area for exos headers.... Ooh... Bout ur worry whether the engine will run too lean, add in an Air Flow Converter to correct ur air fuel ratio to 14.7:1, the most efficient burning ratio...

Nice!!! What does it do? Open Pod?

[Zoomprotege]

Bro, my ATF cooler is second hand. You can ask Raymond at Auto Dynamac for a quote.

[Zoomprotege]

For a 1.6, your low end might suffer a bit more. The pickup is already quite slow right? I used to drive a Protege.

 

Anyway, no harm asking around if anyone else has done it.

[Zoomprotege]

Customised for my ride. Apexi does make some induction kit for some cars. Go to the website and check. I believe most of the cars here with open pod are customised for the ride. You can PM me for the contact.

Bro, tell me more about air flow converter. Brands and where to buy? Cost? Thanks.

apexi SAFC or AFC neo...

Nice car you have there

It seems that his intake length is quite long, the long intake path probably help to negate the lost in low-end through better swirl of intake air. Correct or not?

 

Thats the theory..in practice?

[Zoomprotege]

Thanks man!!

[Zoomprotege]

Thought the shorter pipe will be better for air-flow to travel to the manifold. Tat's the theory behind the RAM right?

[Magfocus]

Thats for high end..for low end, there has to be some swirl effect of some sort.

Yeah Bro

 

Pickup already like tortise liao

 

That's why need to have 2nd thoughts about it

Ok sure.... I only know of a brand that's producing this which is A'pexi... Cost abt $600 for a new one without tuning(Tuning will cost u abt $50, road tune and about $100 for dyno tune).... I'd rather u get a used set...

The one shown is an S-AFC Neo.. An SAFC II(the neo's predecessor) is more than sufficient if ur main concern is air fuel ratio..

 

FYI, I got mine 2nd hand(SAFC II) from other forums...

Where can I do one new with tuning? It's a lot cheaper than HKS F-Con. What other functions does it do that's normally used by us? It seems like it's more catered for Vtec engine. Mine's VVTI.

[Sickscientist]

Yup... This set is a balance between VAFC(another gadget for VTEC veh) and SAFC... For new one(Neo), u may get it from Speedworks in Kallang, Lim Tan Motor.. Otherwise, u may get it from Speedworks, and do tuning in another workshop(LTM, St Powered)..

 

Lim Tan Motor

 

Lim Tan's SAFC II
