Just get any pod filter they'll give you the loud induction sound that your after.

thats the thing...i dont no which one gives the biggest suction noise.

i was told #5 gives the biggest noise but for air filteration...apexi has the upper hand.

can anyone confirm this?

also can anyone tell me wat #6 is....its not a pod...its some sort of pipe...that does wat exactly? lol

they say that #1 is best for intake because of its swirl design. it allows maximum air to go in. if u think about it, it makes perfect sense. twisted air moves alot faster then straight.......................................i think lol

But on the other hand, #3 and #4 have a larger surface are, meaning that more air could be filtered at once, would that have an effect?

well there u have it boys.....i told u apexi wins....haha

it would seem that way but bahh.....doubtful...

although the filters were tested on filteration and hp gain.....i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

There you go anjoO darK found the link I was reffering to. You cant go past the apexi pod it would give you that loud sucking sound as well. Im sure alot of people here would have an apexi pod on thier line just ask them.

Isnt the last pic just an adaptor piping for the pod ? Correct me if im wrong....

welll thanks guys i think im defently going for the apexi pod.....but what about how ppl have 2 or 3 pods.....whats that all about (i guess for more air lol)....and how does one tell if one needs more then 1

how long do these things take to put in and get runnin......if all goes good ill get one tm haha

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

If you simply buy a filter for the induction noise, then there will be a much louder noise eventually - when the engine shits itself from all the dirt and crap it has inhaled.

Which one FILTERs best?

SK has recommended pipercross - some UK brand.

I found a pod of theirs for like $70.. Sounds good to me.

I emailed them asking what size I would need to fit a z32 AFM and they never got back from me. Lost my business on that count but I may email them again just to be sure.

i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

So all you are interested in is the sound, so why run a filter at all? That will be the loudest, make the most noise. Sure it will stuff up the turbo and the engine in pretty quick time, but you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

The real answer is that there isn’t much difference in sound from an unshielded POD. They all make pretty much the same amount of noise. Of course an unshielded POD with no ambient air feed looses noticeable horsepower from the hot air ingested and gives worse fuel economy. But hey you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

:P cheers :D

PS, I put this thread up there in my Top 20 worst ever questions

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

Wrong!! In a number of ways. Twin pods are popular but on my RB25DETT in the track car I ran single AFM and single pod, however the stock GTR setup is single airbox and is good enough for my 260rwkw/0-100 in 4.02s. Funnily enough the GTSt's share the same filter panel as GTRs. So the filter is not the problem. GTSt's can be a bit strangled in the induction piping so some lateral thought to help it breaths means

a. legal and only 1 induction mod allowed means a FMIC can be run,

b. less likely to be considered a wanker because of the rediculous noises you attempt to generate, and

c. almost free.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
