Hi guys , any 1 running one ov thease on a hawk or similar 2.5 sti
Thr not cheap , app developed by BMC as the name suggests , they do induction for f1 teams & the likes of endurance racing (24hr),, so I guess they should be the dogs , if not what kind induction u guys running , k & n panell filter jst isn't doin it for me any more , regards

 

Induction kit you are really don't need at moment.if you are running all ready TMIC i would suggest rather good panel filter than induction kit.

But if you are planning fitting the FMIC in near future i would suggest RCM big cone.BMC CDA i've run few months back on mine WRX and i've made less(10-15bhp) like with HKS Suction kit,which is known as not the best.

Thanks Jura , yea tmic at mo , think I'll only go fmic if I end up goin forged & turning a hawk into a falcon ( ha ha ) yea , so u think I shud jst stay with the panel filter goin to be running circa 360 - 385

 

I'm in the same boat but on a05 sti... Going for a md321h (hopefully) been wondering my self to stick with standard airbox and green filter or go down induction route???

 

At 360-385bhp you should be OK with TMIC and Panel filter,but still if you want go for induction kit i would go for RCM big cone..

Just don't forget if you are will go for any induction kit,you will need at least tweak of your existing map.


Jura

 

Same boat then craig !!
Yea Jura I will probs go for it nxt cpl weeks , I'm sure ur more wise than I on Subaru , but the big cone looks (nasty ) cdnt face looking at that behemoth evry time I popped hood , I'm sure it's the nuts when it comes 2 power ,but like I said I'm not running big figures so want something that's decent but also kind on the eye ( just like our lass )

 

How to say,i went for RCM because is proven.

If you are looking just for look,i would go with APS/AEM or something like is CAIK(Cold air induction kit)

But as i said before you will need at least tweak of your current map(if your car has been mapped before,if not you will need straight away remap,just drive off the boost until remap,due safety reasons)


Jura

 

have a look at aem kits good quality and proven good results and its easy on the eye as the filter is moved out of sight to get more cold air , so all your left with is a nice hard pipe in aluminium or red etc heres a link for em http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=aem...2t5HeCQ&zoom=1

 

Just have look at this website

Jst browsed the TEGIWA CARBON intake kit . It looks great , states gains of up to 20% it's on eBay for £300 / any 1 running this ? thoughts guys , & thanks 2 all replies so far

 

P.s. Think I like the cosworth 1 off the rallisport web page best , not because it's the dearest , like the chrome & blue combo , if it performs , even better, any 1 running this set up ?

 

i wanted it just for the cossie badge
but £300 takes the biscuit !! probably no better than k&n ?

 

& your thoughts on the TEGIWA ,,, initial D

 

I'm sure few guys with hatches running Cosworth air filters,but not sure on quality and filtration.


Few there are nice and perform well on new age,just find the best balance between them is almost impossible.




Jura

 

Have u used a TEGIWA b4 Jura ?

 

No there,but for these money you have nice AEM,APS or others CAIK or Induction kit.


Jura

 

is that the one thats inside a carbon fibre air box ?? i could not decide between a k&n typhoon ,aem cold air,cosworth , tegiwa and roger clark . i ended up getting the roger clark big cone . keep in mind that the more cold air the better . so try and get one that relocates the filter away from hot air or get one like the k&n 57i , or the cosworth which has a heat shield i ended up making my own heat shield out of aluminium with heat proof matting and a cold air pipe from bumper to filter .
