Hey all,

I'm new here, but have had a hunt and a search through the forums and can't seem to find a thread that answers whether a panel filter or induction kit would be better for my 99 uk2000?

I am guessing it depends on how many mods you have etc?

Well mine has an exhaust and has been remapped apparently (fitting boost gauge in the next couple of week to see if it actually has tho!)

Thanks guys n gals

Panel filter mate. think they are good for 350BHP, maybe more

 

+1

 

Excellent, thanks guys

Another quick one then, is there a preferred make of panel filter? Or am I just opening a can of worms hehe

 

Green Cotton, Cosworth, K&N.

 

Thank you sir

 

I was actually gonna post this as I currently have an induction kit on the scoob...only had the car a couple of months and not to sure on the noise it makes under accleration...

will be putting the box back on i think when i get a new panel filter and try it out

 

Depends on the type of kit mate.
If it's an inner wing one with a cold air feed you're okay although as already mentioned you probably won't see huge gains unless you have modded the car a fair bit.

If it's one that sits in the engine bay itself like the HKS or some K&N ones, and no cold air feed, then it will most likely be sucking in hot air as it's right next to the turbo - not really a good thing - and you should go back to the original box. HTH.

 

When I bought my 05 Jdm Sti it had a in wing induction kit fitted. I noticed that the idle tickover was low, almost stalling sometimes. I reverted back to the standard air box with K+N panel filter and all is fine now. Steve.

 

best of both worlds ? http://www.templetuning.co.uk/blitz-...over-530-c.asp

 

Another vote here for green cotton, especially good for the my99's weak maf. Been running them on mine for the last 4 years without a problem.






EDIT: Just to ad my98 sti 4 also has a green cotton and airbox baffle delete and it sounds meaty as well.

 

I,ve used K+N panel filters over the last 11 years on the 5 Scoobs I have owned with no probs.

 

Depends if you you are going for FMIC in near future is not possible have Panel filter,but if you are not planning FMIC fit just good panel filter like Green Cotton,K&N etc.

On classic OE Airbox will be restrictive at 340-350bhp.

apparently with the japspeed 99-00 fmic kit you can use the stock intake

 

I don't think you can/will run stock intake/OE airbox with any FMIC.

Im sure ed@ japspeed said you could. in the group buys section because someone asked.

 

99-00 is best to run panel filter to around 350 bhp and there is nothing wrong with the OE Subaru panel filter. You will not get any more power from a K+N etc. and the cause for using one of these is that they are able to be cleaned and reused so if you keep the car over a period of time you can clean your air filter every 3000 to 5000 miles.

Dolomite: If you fit a CAK you MUST get your car remapped or as a minimum the MAF sensor has to be rescaled. Failure to do this could result in picking a piston up in the bore.

I rather suspect not. Why not clarify it with Japspeed themselves and report back rather than surmise.

 

I'll surmise if i wish....

that could have went better

Thanks for advice Harvey, I went from a under wing CAK to a standard airbox with a K+N panel filter, and had it remapped at the same time. The under wing CAK was fitted before I owned the car and this was also remapped. Steve.
