Arc Super Induction Box


Recommended Posts

I am thinking about buying a Arc super induction kit for my r33 gtst and i am wondering if anyone has one?

If so can they give me any performance feedback on this item are they worth it?

Will the one made for a r33 fit a Z32 afm attachment?

Any help guys and girls would be very much appreciated.

Had a customer who had one fitted in a WRX, said it was excellent. AFM should bolt up the same.

well from a performance standpoint they are similar to any aftermarket airfilter, in that by seat of the pants I can't tell the difference (no extra power)... induction note is very nice as you would expect sucking air through a metal box and it looks very trick in the engine bay... I think its better than the HKS pod that I originally had in there as it isn't as prone to heat soak, however I still can't work out how to get a cold air feed to it as it sits exactly like the stock airbox, just imagine the stock box with the lid off, that's it... can't use the stock snorkle either as the ARC box sits too high which is because of the FMIC piping... so yeah looks good, sounds good, and works fine... if your really curious I may go outside and take a photo

Thank you very much for that feedback mate. i think i will just get a heat shield made up and get some cold air piping. Not as pretty but will do a good job i hope. I dont suppose you know where to get a heat shield for a good price.

Yeah, I run the Super Induction box. Comments as per NickR33. Would say it flows better than stock most definitely. They are a very well made unit. The GTR one has intake via the top panel and a side panel. Probably more robust than a stock unit.

Yeah i have an ARC box on my GTR, goes well, sounds nice, and doesnt suffer from heat soak

WAY better than the pods i had on it before

Thanks for the response guys. Just one more question about them do they block the original whole underneath where the old air box got air flow? Or can i run some piping from the front bar to that whole and have the ARC induction box?

The stock airbox only gets flow through the snorkel... the hole that is left when you get rid of the stock SMIC and go to an aftermarket FMIC setup can be used to duct air in, however it is pretty much a waste as the filter element of the ARC box is laid facing upwards towards the bonnet... so the air you have ducted in will just be hitting the bottom of the airbox

That does look awsome have you also got a heat shield next to the induction box?

What did you make it out of if it is?

I think i will purchase one of these they look awsome and from your response guys do a good job

Thanks for all the feedback

I made my self a fiberglass box thats moulds into the wheel arc , I made half of it the engine bay . Then used a nice arcyrlic lid with stainless steal bolts. Inside sits my hks pod filter . Then i made a fiberglass pickup for inside the front bar and ducted it up into the fibergalss box.

Works great!

The lid and ducting setup was over the other shed will show later, This was only a demo but the demo turned out sweet so i been using it for months. I will make a nice pretty one later.

Once the box is sealed it is protected from hot air, then the duct in the fron bar pics up all the nice cold air :D . Police reckons they are great because it secures the pod filter and the plub back is much quiter! Theres a noticeable gain with airbox and pod.

Would any of you guys buy something like this?

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
