apexi induction, rev2 tubby! help!

[jimGTS]

right, need some advice, i got this the other week, and it doesnt look to hard to install.
can anyone point me in the right direction of where to begin??
the intake kit comes with the right fitting kit for my car, but i want to know, what and where do i need to take out of the standard engine bay to fit it????
i realise the old OEM filter and box need to come out, but how is this fitted on?? i know theres 4bolts attaching it to the AFM, are there any other bolts i need to undo????
are there any other parts i need to take off the car??????

pics would be VERY handy!

Jim i should be able to help

Right: Your main objective is to get the afm seperated from the air filter housing, so start by:

1) Undoing the pipe that the afm sits in, this should be a phillips screw to slacken it off.
2) Unclip the air filter box, will be 4 clips, these can be done by hand, now you should be able to lift the top of the airbox out with the afm attached so you will see the filter.
3) Remove the air filter, and you need to undo 3 bolts on the underneath that holds the casing on to a bracket, (use a long rachet as these are quite stiff.

Now all you need to do is sort the afm out which you removed earlier, basically there are 4 bolts connecting the afm to the filter housing, undo these and bingo you have a seperated AFM.

There is a big black plasticy thing that sits on the inlet, (resonator), this lets air into the original air filter, you don't have this so i removed it, you can choose what you want to do. The problem with this is that the Apexi sits lower then the air coming out so i will make my own pipe up later on.

All of the original pipe work will go back on minus the air filter housing, its a bit of a squeeze and you may have trouble getting the brackets lined up but you will work it out

Hope this has been of help to you mate

Any questions fire away

Thanks

You dont need the resonator box, I removed mine, three bolts IIRC. The instructions which came with my new Apexi said to take it off.

Mine where in Japenese, it depends whether you can adapt it to work with the apexi as this can be done, its what im doing now
