Title: Apexi Incduction Kit Vs Viper/BMC Forced Induction Kit
Post by: Anonymous on January 18, 2005, 12:28
Hi,

I am thinking of fitting an induction kit to my 2003 MR2, i was wondering if anyone had any experience of the above filters? I haven't really seen anyone comment on the forced induction style air filters!

Any help or info would be a great help!

Regards

Dom

P.S I would be interested in buying a filter if anyone has one for sale!

You can't really get forced induction with the roadster.  You need a fresh supply of cold air that enters a tube which will decrease in size before the filter.

This can only really be done on front engined cars.  The S2000 gets one as standard.  There is a cone filter inside their airbox!

Mid engined cars don't generally have enough space and besides the side intakes on the roadster don't allow much air through.

for sound and filtration Apexi is your best bet.

I toyed with a viper last year, but for teh rpice and as per Adams comments, teh chances of making it work well enough to justify the outlay are slim.
