Finally got round to fitting the Apexi filter I bought a couple of months ago. Found the intake pipe on a local auction site, bolted it all together and here it is...





'Flutter' sound from the BOV is pretty cool. Much better than the usual ricer 'ptssshhh' noise you hear

When time permits I will be making up some form of enclosed airbox to keep the heat out. Fortunate enough to have a mate who can make things from carbon fibre

Flipping heck

So you have a massive garage, you live in (mostly) sunny Auckland, your mate does carbon fiber fabrication. You drive a 400 HP GT-Four

Let me guess. You're married to Kylie Minogue, you win the lottery every week

Jammy barsteward :D:D

Mine also flutters greatly through my Apexi too

If you happened to come up with any drawings for a carbon cold air intake they would be most useful lol

Looks very nice mate.
Whats the silver T shaped piece coming off the intake pipe going to the black bit (great terminology..lol)?

Steve

It's for the BOV to attach to.

unlike the cs steve the bov goes into the airbox on a 205 (i believe) unlike the cs the inlet of a recirculating bov has to go in after the afm

No worries.
Do they do an Apexi filter like the one above for our st185 CS's?

Steve
The Apexi filter is a universal fit.

it does but you may have to redrill the holes to attach it to the afm

Thanks gents....you say universal eh.....cool...cheap to buy....however....how do I go about buying the adaptor plate needed ofr my st185 CS?

I want one.....
Cheers

Steve

Steve, keep in mind our CS AFM (left) is a tad bigger than the 185 AFM (right):



Therefore I don't expect a gt4 flange to fit even after adjusting the holes. I have an A'PEXi myself (Still in it's box that is ) and I'm going to make a custom flange, which will look like this:



I still have to adjust the tech. drawing a bit, I could use a bit thinner aluminium..

Thanks Meurz.
Good info indeed.

Let me know how you get on with your adaptor plate. If it works you could get some made up for GT4 owners.....that will be very nice.

Cheers

Steve

Meurz - interesting picture!

Hadn't seen the CS vs the 185 AFM side by side before.

It's quite surprising the size increase of the AFM on the CS!

Excellent picture for the AFM's the difference is huge - I had no idea it was that much bigger.

Looking at the bottom of the three smaller pictures you can see that the 4 holes are in the same place.....or thereabouts anyway. What therefore stops the cone being fitted to the CS?

The bottom pic shows the turbo side of the AFM, which I'll connect with a hose (80 mm ID) to a straight intake. In the pic in the middle you see the AFM side - you can see the bolting points don't even come close to the normal AFM..
