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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
