GReddy A/F-Type Airinx Air Filters for Updating Airinx AY-B Filters in Suction, Intake or Turbo Kits




GREDDY AIRINX A/F-TYPE AIR FILTER SYSTEM
Designed specifically for use with popular JDM air flow meters which require application specific bolt-on adapters (or a more compact filter size, like the previous "mushroom" shaped Airinx AY-B), is the GReddy Airinx Air-Flow Meter Type System. The basic system is comprised of a specially-sized, large opening GReddy Airinx air filter, matching base plate along with an application specific molded Airinx AY airflow-meter adapter(s). GReddy offers two specific filter sizes, a smaller Airinx S with a 136mm dia. outlet to replace previous Airinx AY-SB filters and a medium sized Airinx M with a 172mm dia. outlet to replace previous Airinx AY-MB filters. This is especially ideal, when upgrading older GReddy Suction/Intake and Turbo kits which utilized previous Airinx AY-SB or AY-MB dome filters with application specific Airinx AY air-flow meter adapters.

 

AIRINX FILTER ELEMENT
The Airinx dry element filter with the molded polyurethane frame incorporates a specially-designed inverted structure with 3-layers of high-performance filtering elements in two specific compact sizes. The 136mm dia. A/F-type Airinx-S measures a compact H85 x T110mm dia. x B136mm dia. to approximate the dimensions of the previous “mushroom”-shaped Airinx AY-SB. (A/F-type Airinx-M: H105mm x T136mm dia. x 172mm dia. to replace Airinx AY-MB) The filter is decorated with molded GReddy Airinx logos and includes an additional GReddy emblem that can be attached to anywhere along the side of the filter element, 360deg. The dry Airinx element is ideal for air-flow meter use and is easily serviceable regular cleanings with mild soapy water and blowing with compressed air.


AIRINX BASEPLATE
The key to getting these A/F-type filter bodies to work with the previous AY adapters is the use of a required, matching 136mm dia. baseplate adapter for the Airinx S or 172mm dia. baseplate adapter for the Airinx M. These powder-coated formed-metal baseplate adapters allow the use of the existing molded Airinx AY air-flow meter adapters (that you may already have from a GReddy suction/intake or turbo kit.) The baseplates also have provisions for mounting brackets and a port for optional sensors, if necessary. 



There are two series of S and M-sized Airinx AY molded-polyurethane adapters. They come in various application specific shapes to match many popular Japanese air-flow meter types, like for the RB26, Z32, RB25, RB20, SR20, VQ35, 1JZ and 4G63. Also available are standard round adapters that range from 50mm all the way up to 100mm diameter, if you eventually decide to eliminate the factory air-flow meter in the future. (or have space confinements and require a lower-profile air filter assembly, than the standard Airinx S or M.)


Click on the images below for a full list of Airinx AY-S and AY-M adapters.

50-State Street Legal! - GPP Intercooler Kits for the 10th Gen Civics


 Street Legal in all 50 USA States - CARB EO D-397-11


Greddy Performance Products Upgraded Intercooler Kits for the FK8, FC1, FC3, FK7 Civic


Now in addition to the high quality construction, simple install,  improved cooling and stylish looks, the Greddy Performance Products Civic Intercooler kits for the '16-'19 Civic Sport / Si and '17-'19 Civic Type-R are now 50-state street legal via California Air Resources Board Executive Order D-397-11. (as of 4/21/2020)




The Greddy Performance Products Intercooler Upgrade Kits for the 10th Gen. Civics (FK8 Civic Type-R, FC1/FC3 Civic Si, and FK7 Civic Sport Hatchback) include upgraded replacement aluminum hard-piping and feature our world renown “tube and fin” intercooler cores with our carefully matched “inner-fin” structure for an ideal balance of high cooling with low pressure drop (not cheaper extruded inner tubes). This effective design is not only light-weight and efficient for cooling down air intake temperatures of turbo boost, but it’s external aerodynamic tube and fin profile helps keep vital cooling systems like the radiator feed with cool ambient air-flow, when in motion or with just the stock fan. This contributes to an overall more effective cooling solution for the a turbocharged Civic in many types of applications (road course, autocross, drag, etc...)



To keep engine power up and consistent, lap after lap, it is important to address the stock intercooler. The latest generation of Honda factory turbocharged engines make great power when cool, but use a compact OEM intercooler, which tends to easily retain heat. This “heat soak” along with the ECU’s sensitive safety protocols reduces engine power by compensating with lower boost levels and retarded timing. During our “back to back to back” tests, the OEM factory intercooler saw loss in power of up to: -25hp/20ft/lbs for the K20 (CTR) and -20hp/12ft/lbs for the L15 (Sport/Si). While our larger more heat-soak-resistant, GPP intercooler kits, maintained consistent gains over stock of through the lower-mid to high RPM range, even after more than 3 consecutive dyno runs.


2.0L Turbo Civic Type-R


1.5L Turbo Civic Si and Civic Sport

1.5L Civic Sport                     2.0L Civic Type-R

GPP offers two sizes of intercooler cores for each application to choose from: a medium sized core and a larger core. Both kits will offer more consistent cooling for stock turbo and moderate boost up applications, however for high boost levels with more intense tuning, or large turbo upgrades, the larger core option will often be the ideal choice. However, when lower-end boost response is a priority the medium size selection is preferred. GPP Intercooler kits offer efficient, light-weight performance gains, with an easy bolt-on installation.

GReddy Profec Boost Controller, Now Available in 3 OLED Colors


Exclusive Overseas Red, White Edition and the Classic Blue 


Classic Blue OLED - p/n 15500214
White Edition OLED - p/n 15500219
Exclusive Overseas Red OLED - p/n 15500217 (not available in Japan)

The GReddy PRofec is compact, powerful and easy to use electronic boost contorller for standard pneumatic actuator or external wastegates. The large OLED Display, with the simple two-button / rotary-dial control, make for intuitive operation. An ultra slim controller can display in digital, bar-graph, or graphical modes and can be rotated 180 degree for installation with the included adjustable mount or flush mounted. By separating the display and control unit in the driver’s compartment, from the engine compartment-mounted, waterproof, sensor unit, it makes installation straightforward. Only one thin harness is required to be routed through the firewall. The combination of the new 300kPa (43.5psi) integrated pressure sensor, the more compact solenoid valve and faster ECU processer, provide quicker response and the most stable boost curves yet. The PRofec also maintains popular features like, Lo, Hi, Scramble boost presets, last-boost display, peak-hold recall, warning alert and safety limiter.

 


All three are compatible with the Profec MAP expansion module for even finer boost adjustments.
i.e.  (load vs. Duty% - by RPM, Throttle Position, Speed, Gear or Water Temp)
