Apexi intake

[dude4253]

I bought a Apexi intake from the supra store under the impression that it was a direct bolt on to an N/A but it doesn't fit:aigo:... i assume that's because it is for the turbo version. Any thoughts on what to do about it ? is there an adapter or should i just sell it?

i can take pictures if necessary

I don't use an Apexi, although I will upon next upgrade from K&N. I did however look at a few sites that offered the Apexi, it seems it fits both N/A and turbo models. It will require the removal of stock air box of course. Like I said it isn't showing a different number for tour N/A.... Good Luck ^^

sell it and don't even waste your money buying a intake on your n/a put it towards fixing the car or start saving for a swap.Thats my .2

It says on the site that the filter is NOT designed for the NA but can be made to fit with some minor drilling. If you're not prepared to do the modification then sell it and take it as a lesson learned to read the product description more carefully.

20 cents is still more than bad advice is worth. There is nothing wrong with modding an NA as long as your power goals are realistic. If your using it as a DD it just makes it more fun to drive without the effort for power you're not going to use. Besides which, even if he does go turbo one day the intake will still work.

The Apex'i intake for the 7M-GTE won't fit... as you well know. However, the Apex'i intake for the SW20 MR2 will fit. I'd see if they'll exchange it.

FWIW, I dont really think my Apexi intake has increased performance as it gets rid of the "cold air intake" feature that the stock box provides, but it doesn't seem to hurt it and it sounds quite nice.

I'd like to buy/commission/make some sort of cold air partition for the filter while keeping it in the bay... I'm looking at you, CRE.

I have the exact same problem. I bought the A'PEXi intake from suprastore.com too, and it obviously doesn't fit. I have been talking to a guy from suprastore, and he told me to drill, so I marked it out, and realized that I will drill into the chamber on the elbow, and I wouldn't be able to but nuts on the bolts also. So he is talking to the parts distributor, and then he is going to email me back, so if you want to let you know what he says, let me know.

And that MR2 elbow fits, no need for modification?

Thanks

Yup, that's what Sparky's running. They have an almost identical VAF to the 7M-GE's. Ask Rob over at 935Motorsports.

That would be really helpful

suprarx7nut I noticed you did a review of it on your n/a how did you mount it ?

I simply bolted it right up. I bought mine second hand from CRE, who apparently got the one for the mr2. I was unaware.

Mine required no extra work at all, unless CRE had already prepped it. :dunno:

It did include a few mounting brackets that are not even close to fitting in any way that I can see. (Which makes perfect sense if it is made for the mr2. )

 

[dude4253]

Which year MR2 is the filter for ??

 

[CRE]

SW20 1991 - 1995.

No modifications were needed at all.

https://935motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=79_14_26_29&products_id=148 This one is for the N/A. If you have anymore questions I told you who I ordered it from.

So i've decided to buy an maf adapter for both the turbo and n/a and couple them together, I figure itll be the most cost effective way to do it. All i have to do is change the intake piping too which i planed on anyway

it will fit just dril 4 new holes and place it on

Hey, would anyone have the part number for that MR2 intake? I can't seem to find it anywhere. And is it the intake for the N/A MR2?
