Ok, I'm sure its been posted a hundred times b4 but since I got no luck from the other forums i'll try again.

Does anyone have a template (or even some decent instructions) to build a cold air box around my pod filter.

I'm pretty mechanically challenged so if anyone has some good tips, that would be great.

Cheers,

mate its pretty easy to make one from the aluminium foil backed foam from clark rubber. $23 per m.

After you cut that stuff out to fit, you have a template for a metal one should you want it to look pretty, or you could just cover the foam one with fibreglass resin and paint it.

The foam is a fantastic heat shield.

Lojikl,

If scissors & tinsnips aren't too challenging, read on..

Make a template around your pod from cardboard, ensuring that the corrugations are vertical. trim it so when u close the bonnet there is say 1/2 - 1 inch clearance. Then at intervals of about 1/2" around the top edge insert 2" brads ( small bullet head nails) where your template meets the bonnet. GENTLY close the bonnet - pushing the brads further into the cardboard. You now have a PERFECT profile ! carefully remove your template, carefully unfold it, trace it onto sheet alloy, play "connect the dots" - to get the top edge & hey presto - full sick, custom, and SEALED. BTW the best stuff for the top edge is neoprene pipe lagging - same stuff used on air-con lines. $2.50 a metre from Clark rubber !!

I've done 3 like this on different cars & it's simple - just takes time...

here's my Proton GTi..

note the neoprene has taken the shape of the bonnet... airtight !!

Are R33s and R32s the same in that area? [/quoteJ

JiMiH - naaa, totally different. They look the same until you hold the template upto the R32 then you just scratch your head :)

and one from the top so you can get a idea on the size of it and for cold air induction i just let it suck cold air through the holes were the factory I/C pipes went through. i tried some of that silver flexi duct but once i reached 1bar it would start to fold up and become restrictive

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
