What about just 1 or 2 unit of turbo charger?

IMHO, TC not recommended, our engine and chassis not design to take the extra power.

How abt SC-ing it? Heard Neuspeed has the kit for our octys

[Skoder]

Really!!! How much??

[Beanoyip]

I got absolutely no idea. Maybe in the 2-5k range?

[Skoder]

wa lao.... how to afford...

Hi,

 

Has anyone replaced Octy's original air filter with cold air intake performance filter? Need some advice on this as I understand it will become noisy after the change.

 

Got a quote from KW on RAID Max-Flow for $450 and if can get 3 persons, then the price is $400. Check this website http://www.raid-rdi.com/english/luftfilter/maxflow.html

It will be noisy if just the open Pod type. For this one, the noise may have suppress by the CAI.

[Skoder]

nope.. I am using K&N filter only w/o CAI. $400....Got installment??

market now very bad... . Hei, after you guys do that, let me see.

K?

Hi Raptor,

 

What is CAI ? I believe the one I'm seeing is not the open Pod type ...how about yours? Still stock or upgraded? Seeking for someone who has upgraded on their Octy with this kind of performance kit... it is for Ambiente and not available for Classic as I've checked with KW.

Hey Skoder,

 

How is the K&N filter? Any good improvement? Dunno whether they got installment for this...but for rims/tyres they have. Still waiting for the armrest shipment to arrive...after hearing your good remarks make me can't wait.....

CAI - Cold Air Induction (or Intake). A setup to extract cold air into the filter, commonly use for Open Pod filter. The RAID one you show is Open Pod integrate with a CAI - the silver cylinder connecting a PVC host leading to somewhere under engine.

 

 

The pic below will show the actual setup of the RAID filter.

 

 

If you planning to install this, do check the cost of the filter or can it be clean and reuse.

 

I'm still on stock filter but probably will change to K&N during next servicing. No budget for this RAID one.

Looks awesome!!! confirm cannot afford!!!

Anyway as for K&N filter, there is basically nothing much about it. Think

the RPM is lowered by 30-50 somehow. More importantly is that you can clean

it when it gets dirty. After changing your stock filter for say 3 times, you

would have recovered your cost.

Do you know Toyota is the world's richest car manufacturer? They have the M to spend on research...

[Mmythos]

Supercharging for 2-5k range? That's cheap! But probably u need to change ur cams, pistons, etc.. and that can add up to a bomb...

The drop in K&N filter model for Octy is 33-2128, got mine abt 2 weeks back for $85 (incl. install)

Some improvement overall. If u plan to get CAI than dun get the drop in K&N b'cos for CAI need to remove the filter box. Heard some guys DIY their CAI and results pretty good.

Will be looking around for the material for CAI (esp. the tubing / hose), anyone knows where we can get those silver (or aluminium ?) flexi tubing like those shown in the photos ? Hav check out some hardware stall but couldn't get...
