Air Filter & Intake Discussion
- Thread starter Crocoman
- Start date
Good. @evan1411 introduced the forum to these kits back in April and seemed only to draw criticism (mainly from overseas) about price and some technical 'flaws'. Whatever, I was just happy to see an Aussie company have a crack. Sure, not perfect and not cheap as chips but you have to start somewhere.
Ive been running this kit on my car for a month or so doing R&D. As @GazmaN said these guys copped loads of backlash etc due to prices N not being a Forged Itg branded co but the owner spends so many hours at the business away from family etc. That time away you can’t put a cost/value on. Ppl said he/they were ripping ppl off N that we could all do these in our own home garages over a long wkend. We had a double long wkend but come tues no new kits from this guy or anyone else so I guess it’s not so easy. It’s not just bout the cost of materials but rent on the business plus bills etc and the time spent doing these things. They can’t make or keep everyone happy but they are doing their best to try so a big thumbs up to Impossible Fab.

What do you think about this intake? Surely with Pipercross filter, snorkel and 89mm tube gets a good result

I’m looking into getting a full induction kit for my i30N. The two that look the most promising are the forge and Pipercross ones. I’ve seen a lot of discussion about just the Pipercross filter but not the full induction kit. Has anybody got either, and what are the pros and cons of both if any?

There's a whole thread about airfilters which you can maybe have a read around in, maybe you'll find some answers there.
I ordered the Pipercross intake but i'm still waiting for another couple of weeks for it to arrive, excited though

No, MAF on the 2.0T Theta II engine. Yes, MAP (Manifold Absolute Sensor). No, you can't with either.
Pipercross in Germany and Bosch want you to believe an oiled filter like their competitors; K & N and others are inferior. It's just one-up-man-ship or misleading information. Such a claims have no basis of fact.

I know SXTH Element engineering are working on an enclosed intake and filter system that looks promising. It has a plexi top airbox standard with an optional carbon fiber top.
Waiting to see some testing and reviews on it but this seems worth waiting for when compared to the currently available options as it seems likely it will have reduced IAT's in comparison. Side note the have also released some CAD drawings of a pretty sexy looking FMIC to go with it.
Edit: linked below is the 1.6T veloster system they have for reference only. In talking with them/facebook/instagram posts it seems the VN one will be of similar design.

They were suppose to have it out already but no telling how much longer it will be before it happens.https://n-cars.net/forums/threads/sxth-element-engineering-intake.3436/

I actually asked them about it yesterday on FB and they said they were waiting on their customer test car to come back to test the final revision. Other than that, yeah, not sure how long it will be but SXTH has a good enough track record with the 1.6t that I am optimistic about it.
This is just one of the problems, utilizing customer test cars. "Availability!" Sooner or later they're going to have to start purchasing the development models. They can be sold later, to recoup development and actual vehicle cost.
They also have a liability issue, when utilizing customer test cars. They've been in business about a year and a half, commercially, So, there's not much past history with them. We'll see what transpires over the next year or so.
