k and n air filter ?

[iwallace]

has any put an after marker air filter on there etsi or previ.
i think i want to do a bit of up grading K and N filter and another set of alloys nice set of 18s with a rubber band for tyres....
might even drop her a little if i go for 17s.
does any one know what other make of wheels fit the esti supra honda???

thanks in advance
Ian

The Esti has a 114.3 x 5 PCD I think, so alloys with that stud pattern will fit, however, check the weight rating of the rims you look at, as Estis weigh a lot!!. Rav 4 wheels fit I think, as do Ford Probes.

cheers swanny ........for the pcd thing

Had a K&N induction kit for a Toyota Rav - which I sold to Mr Mince after my head went pop!

He fitted it at our Scarbrough Meet with no problems at all ...just need to trim one of the pipes provided in the kit to ensure the filter fits in the empty airbox space


Swanny's right about the PCD - full spec:

PCD = 114.3 x 5 stud
Offset = 35 to 42
Bore = 60.1

Have a look at this PCD Chart - HERE - to see what similar PCD fits.

Wheel Load Index is critical - for example, MR2 wheels fit but aren't strong enough and can buckle.
Often (used) Sellers don't know where to find their Load Index - usually stamped on the inside of the rim - so often it's best to check kerbweights of the vehicle they come off.

See - HERE - for Load Index Charts...about halfway down the page 


17"s are a good fit for an Esti - know of some who have fitted over 18" with scuffing issues  :

Never worked out how much it helps power or efficiency but it looks and sounds good anyway

The offset of the genuine Toyota Alloys on my Previa are 50. They came off the new shape Previa and are a perfect fit.

mr mince.

its that deep growl from the filter that i like 

[Centaur]

You can get the same growl by drilling holes in the airbox 


...not recommended though!  :

Just cut your exhaust in half before the silencers...................

Yeah!!  - my 3.5 V6 Shoggy sounded great without anything resembling an exhaust pipe from the cat onwards! 

[Swanny]

If you get a custom pipe made up, you can get much better MPG and performance........just bypass the CAT!

I haven't got a CAT, just kids and rabbits roaming round my house

[marcnbex]

I've got a universal cone filter fitted it doesn't growl or anything but when boosting up and let off
It how the kids put it sounds like darth vader lol but its actually the Turbo waste gate
