Feeding colder air would be a better proposition.. I find it hard to believe that an open pod in the engine bay will get colder air than from the stock snorkel..

It is around 1% for every 4 degrees I believe.. It would be better to try and find a cold source of air e.g. if you have a front mount, feed air from where the Side mount used to be.. or use something such as Maxxs where it sucks using the stock snorkel..

I don't understand how having a pod behind a headlight is going to get cold air fed to it.. That's my thoughts anyway..

You are all wrong.

Mad082 is correct.

Un shielded pod is better..

I might just ring up MINES factory and let them know that they should quickly bolt up a $40 MONZA pod filter to their R34 gtr which uses a stock air box with after market duct and filter at the moment.

Oh and get rid of the duct as it’s not necessary with the pod there.

This will give them more power and possibly a WHOLE second off their time at the time attack trials they do.

lol at the mines GTR and time attack trials. :wave:

Hardly related to street use/speeds + Its making up around 600bhp, clearly the stock air box isn't going to cut it at those power levels. :(

So stock airbox for sensible street power levels as I stated in a previous post.

well.. gee.. lets all go get carried away here.. lol..

I don't see how comparing a mines GT-R to street cars is really the best example.. how many times do you see the mines GT-R stuck in bumper to bumper traffic???..

Anyways.. Top Gear is on.. so i'm going to watch that!!..

I think you missed my point.

I made the reference to the mines gtr to show that even a car with around 600hp was still using a stock GTR airbox with their own enlarged intake snorkel.

This MAD082 guy is blabbering that a pod…. No an un-shielded pod is better than a pod filter in a box or partition which is better than a panel filter in the stock air box.

His reasoning is that it can suck in more air.. wether it’s hot or not does not matter cause it’s more air and the intercooler will fix the temp issue.

BULLSH*T

The fact is, lower temps means more power.

Before the cooler, after cooler, in the plenum.. whatever.

Cooler means more power is capable.

People on here have over 250rwkw in GTST’s or GTT’s with stock air box and intake snorkel and rubber duct from afm to turbo.

People have close to 300rwkw in gtr’s with stock air box and intake and rubber duct from afms to turbos.

I see no reason to replace the stock Nissan skyline air box unless you have over those sorts of rough figures.

And even if you do, the mines GTR factory air box MODDED with new CAI snorkel allowing enough air flow for 600hp is good enough, I’m sure you can do the same for your car.

R32 gtst’s have the duct in the bottom half, then the filter above it, and then the afm pipe on top of that.

Once you get a fmic, get some 3 inch PVC pipe and some bends, duct it from the front bar (in the duct where the stock smic opening is, drill a 3 inch hole under your factory air box and duct it up.

You will never run out of fresh cold air in your air box.

R33 gtst’s may have a little more difficulty as they have the intake on the top of the box, then the filter then the afm pipe under that.

So you would have to design another CAI to maybe pipe in to the other side of the air box (left side has factory snorkel).

I just think that a pod filter is not required for most people.

You want fully sick induction sound bro?, this post is not for you.

You want the performance without the look at me noise and hassles from cops for being illegal?, then put a hi flow panel filter in your stock box and maybe work out a new CAI to it.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
