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?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
