Thx

Its called "replace-current-motor-with-turbo-motor"...and HKS pod...and lots of boost....

[AlexR34]

Ok thx for your replies, it will now help me sleep.

I got an apexi power intake pod. Put it on and the intake swoosh inside the cab was so loud I took it off again!

depends on how much work you want to do to get it, the best way is to take off the resonator box and run a pipe straight from the throttle body to the air flow meter then to a poddy this will make a really nice suckson roar, although there has been some thoughts that you will loose power from doing this as supposibly the resonator box aides your power or something, but i found that when i did this to mine the throttle responce seemed a lot better a power seemed the same or mabye a litle more but ey might have been my brain playing tricks, i dont know if anyone has done dyno trials but ey ask around someone knows more than i do

Go here for a listen to mine.

It's a UNIfilter and custom intake pipe as unarmed is talking about, it ran 120rwkw with this set up.

I've recently changed to a Blitz Superpower LM filter, because it is a dry filter and I was sick of cleaning my air flow meter, and I have lost a little top end and all of the scream! Going to put the UNIfilter back on for competion and use the Blitz for day to day driving...

either take the snorkel off the factoy box and run a good filter, like a k&n, or get a pod. both will create a deep noise. i had a pod on my 6 sylinder falcon and it sounded like a stock v8. then i had a 2000 magna with a 3.5l v6 and with the snorkel off and a k&n panel filter it sounded beefy. doesn't seem to work on commodores though, but it was an auto and all the rest were manuals. a pod will make more noise than a panel with the snorkel off. to get a rough idea of what it will sound like, take of the front of the airbox and take out the filter and rev the car suddenly. just make sure there is no crap around the airbox that could get sucked in.

i have a JR pod filter, it came with my car. Anyone know if JR pod filters are any good?

The resonator in an OEM airbox is to smooth out the airflow. For some reason its especially bad on NA cars, but at a certain speed the air being drawn into the intake causes weird airflow through the pipe. This screws your AFM's reading, which can kill power and will definitely cause strange noises to come from the engine.

My engine makes a great induction roar, but then I've got a pod filter using minimal heat shielding going into a pipe that's only got 1 bend to the intake manifold.

hey scathing, i've had no wierd noises comming from my engine n the airflow seems fine, i think though sometimes it does struggle to find idle when you are sitting at the lights or whatever, but otherwise no probs, the car runs 15.5's down the 1/4 with the induction, a cat bak 2 1/4 mandral bent zorst n a heavy duty clutch, n it has a heavy arse body kit on it, so i can't c the resinator taking any power from the car

[AlexR34]

Yeah im getting an apexi duel somethign or other pod air filter, id like to get a pipe tu run from the motor direct to the pod filter. Does anyone know where i can get this in brisbane or someone in brisbane that can custom make it.

And to the guy who said it was making to much noise so he took it off, i hope myne makes all the noise that it can.

Thx

Everyone

i used the stock gtst pipe nice metal pipe plus it still looks stock then, only prob will be you will have to block off the blow off valve and run a t peice for one of the ventilation lines

Sorry about the noob questions (ur all prolly gonna laugh): what is the different between a pod filter and air filter?? and which ones better

AHaha im a noob and you make me look good lol. A pod filter is a type of air filter. Just like a panel filter. Its just the shape of the filter that gives it the name, go to google, images, and type pod filter.

[shaun123]

so whats the best one to get? HKS, K&N or apexi? i also want the swoosh noise

A'pexi filters best, but it's horses for courses. 'swoosh' doesn't nessecarily equal good filtration, so which do you want more, noise or engine longevity?

[shaun123]

abit from a and abit from b

do i need to get a whole kit or just the filter itself?

Depends on what engine you're running. Apparently it the filter will connect straight into a 25DET AFM, but i have no idea - read through the thread, it's all in there.

15.5? i dont think that is a good thing as i did my first ever 1/4 run and got 15.9, the car is stock, have you had the car dyno tuned after you got the mods? would probbably be good idea. What induction kit have you got?
