[nastechengineering7]

Check out nas-tech-engineering

(my CCAI System for my girlfriend's '99 Rav-4 utilizes the factory air filter box ... where you can place an ICE-BAG)!

[zacheryds]

how much? like 150?

[MegaLeadguitar]

i have a datsun sunny with a stock nissan a12 carburated engine and a stock air filter housing box, will it fit on my car? cheers.

[rudixxxtiida]

Hi everybody (Dan/samuraifugitivo), first of all, thank you so much 4 reply.

I've done it guys, it works perfectly. Where can i upload some nice picture of the tuning process???

Your video inspired me loads, thx Dan...

[rudixxxtiida]

Great video, thx DP..

i was wondering if the universal K&N intake apollo appropriate for my nissan tiida hatchback 2007???

How about the MAF sensor?

Does K&N filters have the right adaptor for the sensor?

60mm, 70mm,80mm frange, how do i measure for tiida?

Plz really need your help before i buy this air intake.

thx waiting 4 response, here' my mail ad--- rm1a11ah@yahoo.com

[samuraifugitivo]

@rudixxxtiida sure, nissan tiida is a very standard vehicle, if some modifications are needed, be sure that they would be a very easy issue for both, the very trained installer and the any amateur car enthusiast.

[samuraifugitivo]

@rudixxxtiida the sensor remains the same (it ALWAYS goes before the filter box), avoid touching it. Just remove the original filter box and replace it with the apollo. A completly different task will be if you decide to replace all the rubber air hose with those alluminium tubes, that for sure, will not make any noticiable difference.

[rodrimrr]

is it legal to use in the u.s.?

[samuraifugitivo]

@rodrimrr low restriction filters are completly legal. The only reason they dont come as an OEM presentation is that they produce some additional noise (you can hear how the engine breath) that can be annoying to the average driver, and, of course, as they increase a little bit horse power, they also increase fuel consumption.

[Voivrenetwork]

Will this work on a 2008 Chryler Town and Country? I do not see how the filer end will secure in the engine bay..

[trainlinezoo]

Whats up with that little hole? I put the threaded plug in it but now I'm thinking about getting a blue bottle of Nitro and squirting it in that hole with a nozzle.

What a wonderful sound this filter system puts out. Everything sloppy about my engine harmonics were instantly brought back into line as soon as I put this filter on. I'll put up a drive with video....just click on my account.

[saleeezr]

I would like to know what is that small hole just above the 70mm conection hole for? on some videos i saw somekind of hose conected to it???

[arw02791]

Hey just so you know that adapter you said to put on the end of the cold air intake hose for better air flow is actually an adapter to connect the optional cold air hose to the intake box. Looks like you know what your talking about.

[sirboffin]

Heyy! I am from UK, and was wondering, is it possible to get a heat shield for a MK1 Ford Focus? Thanks

[Stompy77]

K&N has just made the best Ram Air intake design!

[TeamHunt]

Now will this fit my 2000 vw beetle 2.0 L?

[BMW1980]

Hello! I have a Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 JTS with 165HP Modell 2002. Which K&N Apollo Filter can i use and how much would it cost me? Please tell me the Price in Euro, because i am from Austria (Europe). How can i order it from you, can i pay by PayPal? THX! PS: Great Video! ;-)

[modyourcar]

@BMW1980 Prices are on our web site so check it out. We only accept bank transfer from overseas.

[highdeserthater]

how would that install on a downdraft throttlebody engine.

[modyourcar]

@highdeserthater Not sure to be honest.

[iknowwhatsup0069]

would this work on a 2000 volvo S80 2.9? i cant find anything for my car

[modyourcar]

@iknowwhatsup0069 This is a universal filter that provides a 70mm neck so it just comes down to how your car is setup. All cars are different.

[sabu63]

I think the presentation was excellent, and the asshole that calls himself blackdick is probably some racist white american teabagger, I know because I am a black american and have a nose for spotting racist...but I digress,.I have a toyota rav4 sport 2008 and would like to know step by step how to install.....

[modyourcar]

@sabu63 Cheers for the comment and the backup, much appreciated. Well every car is different so install can be different. If you look at the product on our web site you will see a DIY Tips tab which pics from a customer who installed in his Honda.

[tankd0g]

Such a pain in the ass to clean.. What the hell were you thinking K&N?  This thing has more bolts on it than my oil pan.

[modyourcar]

@tankd0g Well I guess if there wasnt enough people would complain it wasnt made well, so having more than less is probably better!

[kishchester]

Hi, please can you tell me what them vent adaptors are for and what that hole is for?

[modyourcar]

@kishchester Some cars require that vent but if not you can just block it. Which hole are you referring to?

[kishchester]

@modyourcar thanks for your reply, im guesing it migh be the vent you have been talking about, its the smaller hole of the two you can see @ 1:24.

thanks

[XenoRacing]

ive been reading euro forums and they have been saying the K&N is more problematic than the pipercross they copied. The K&N requires custom MAF sensors or swap overs from other models to work aswell whereas the pipercross are made for specific vehicles. I guess since pipercross was europe only and limited to a select few cars, prolly why K&N copied and sell it in north america. Also after awhile the K&N start to bog and hurt the responsiveness. Hope this helps any interested.

[modyourcar]

Interesting... I guess everyone has different experiences and opinions but we have sold a lot of these and never had any complaints or issues with responsiveness.

[Ideology252]

@modyourcar Hi, I was curious as to whether I would be able to fit a duct onto the end of the Apollo's cold air feed. Or would I need to buy another hose? What effect do you reckon this would have on a Ford Fiesta 1.25?

[XenoRacing]

is this a gimick product for the ricers or does it actually work more effeciently than standard cold air intakes? what about short ram intakes? Also why is there no graphs?

[modyourcar]

How is this a gimmick? Its a cold air intake set-up like any other on the market. All/most cars respond well to improved intakes that's no secret, you dont need a graph to tell you that its pretty common knowledge.

[blackdick3055]

@modyourcar u talk funny weirdo speak english dude

[modyourcar]

@blackdick3055 what are you talking about Im speaking perfectly good english. lol

[ferrariboi92]

Couple of questions. Does this come with the "hose or clamp" that connects to the engine? Secondly, doesn't the pipe end up shaking all over the place when driving considering there isn't a clamp or anything that holds the black piping down. Thirdly, does this fit civics and will the hood close perfectly without contacting the air filter? Lastly, How much horsepower gain is expected compared to a factory intake?

[modyourcar]

Sorry for the late reply. It only comes with the parts you see in the video. Every car is different in terms of fitting which is why it doesn't come with anything. You will need to make sure it is secured properly in your engine bay as well, again its something you will sort out at the time of install. Will it fit in the bay? Well again that something you need to look at when installing, Ive never had a customer have an issue and we have sold literally hundreds of these.

[leetpg]

I want to get one of these. Ive currently got the stock intake box on my r33 gtst with a k&n oiled panel filter.

If I get this thing and hook up the intake pipe down at the front of the car under the foglights, will it suck in water during the rain? Is it best to point it forward in direction of travel or facing down?

Cheers

[modyourcar]

The less resistance you can provide the better so facing the pipe directly into the oncoming wind means the air is "forced" into the pod.

Just make sure the air filer is higher off the ground than the piping - water must obey the forces of gravity!

[leetpg]

@modyourcar Thanks for the response! I'm checking out your site and I might order a black one off you guys! Going to fit the pod into the engine bay and use the old intercooler hole, and expand it if necessary, to put the induction pipe down low

[modyourcar]

Nice! Look forward to working with you!

[playerdynasty05]

wel this be good 4 my camry 05 2.4???

[modyourcar]

All cars benefit from an improved air filter setup. The OEM setup is usually very restricted.

[NeilYoungFan1967]

Got 1 more question. I got a Cavalier Ls sedan. Would this car be wise to upgrade or should i just go with something else when i get the chance?

[modyourcar]

Well it all depends on what you like and what your budget is.... everyone is different! Are you happy with it?

[NeilYoungFan1967]

Yes I'm happy with it but just want it to go faster so I'm thinking about getting a K&N cold air intake like you have in the video. I don't know much about what good but decent priced performance parts to add on. I know turbo's and superchargers are expensive. What do you have in mind?

[NeilYoungFan1967]

Would this be good on a Cavalier?

[aflffl]

All cars respond well to "breathing" type mods so yes putting on an intake kit like this will help your engine breathe and get the coldest air possible into the engine. The cold denser air means more oxygen for combustion = more power.

[NeilYoungFan1967]

Ok thanks for the info.

[aflffl]

Thats what we are here for, if you have any more questions let us know.

[Pierre85goethals]

Thx for the information!

[modyourcar]

Pleasure.

[Ferrreri]

thats a pretty good explination of what it does..good stuff!!
