um guys i was just wondering what kind of difference does it the cold air box make to the induction (sucking) sound??

at the moment with just my k&n pod it really sucks loudly, just wondering wat kind of difference the box will make to this sound as i am in the process of putting a box together...

i've got one of the UAS partitions, and havent noticed any reduction in noise after the install! depends on how sealed you make the box and intake ducting, wont get rid of the noise i dont think!

nice neat kits, been working well for you the last 2 years Jay95r33??

LOL yeah, It's been about 2 years !!

I found that the one that I made did reduce the noise a bit, but I think it had more to do with the insulation stuff that I used on the inside of the box. The insulation stuff is about 10mm think of foam, with one side being heat reflective foil.

where did you get that insulation matting from? got any photo's of the matting Jay?

Yepp, sure do :( Here are a few more pics of it getting made up.

The insulation stuff I got from Clark Rubber, not sure what it's called, but it was about $40 for a square meter.

G'day Croat - we made the box fit around the intercooler pipe work. To install the box you have to disconnect one of the pipes and feed it through etc...

Doing this keeps the box very stable and doesn't let it move around at all (it a tight fit !). So there's no need to screw the box down to the bodywork at all.

sweet, been looking for something to seal mine up with..  :(

shame you had to cut into the chasis in the guard there, im just using a CAI from the front bar up into the old hole from the IC!

thats what i've done but i've been thinking recently if we ever do get any rain here in sydney, water from the road will come straight up onto the pod = bad,

any ideas how to reduce this guys?

Jimbo i have had my pod with a large induction pipe going from my front bar to my pod via the standard intercooler hole... I was a bit sceptical about it at first but have checked many times and have never had water in the area as a result of it... i dont think the water will be able to travel upwards so easily. Just try keep out of those large puddles, but with the weather as is i would not worry...

well seeing as the air does not need to be forced through the pipes to the box, perhaps as modified type of u bend (yes like a sink) could be used to trap the water!! atm, i can see where water has entered that area from the holes in the chasis from the original air box!!

any other suggestions?

Hey guys, jus regarding 'noises' the cold air induction systems make, Say i replace my stock ryco panel filter with a K&N panel filter (inse the stock box) will it make any significant make in induction noise? (im a sucker for that sound)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
