i just tried on a friend's hks pod filter on my car.. usually have stock air box with apexi panel filter..

with the hiflow turbo.. i can hear the turbo very loud when its spooling up.. but as soon as i put the pod on.. i can barely hear my turbo at all

like.. i can't even hear the pod suction noise.. all i can hear is my exhaust and nothing else..

the pod is very loud on my friend's r34 with his stock turbo so we didn't understand why at all..

any opinions on this ??

That's weird.... very weird... as I got a Apexi Pod on my car and you can hear the engine much more louder with the BOV spooling even more aggressively... did you plug the Pod straight into your air meter without any thing in between? With the Pod, it sounds awesome.... absolutely breath-taking... check your hoses and wires also...

yea i did.. like i said.. we were also confused.. like i can hear my turbo way louder with the stock airbox than the pod..

but when we put the pod back on to friend's car.. its so loud?

After posting my previous response to you, I went out to my car and lifted up the engine bay to have a look for ya...

You gotta check how you have bolted on the Pod... there's actually 2 ways you can do this...

1. Bolt the pod directly (with an adaptor of course) to your airflow meter.

2. Drill a whole through your intercooler and pipe the pod to that.

The second way, is a no no... tell me how your pod looks like... take a picture of your engine bay and I will see if I can help you further. We'll talk again soon... btw, what's the brand of your Pod again... oh 1 more thing, make sure there are no wholes or air-exit gaps in your pod... this can be bad for your engine too.

it was put on as an experiment.. like me and my friend just thought.. how will my car sound if i have his pod on..

its an HKS pod with adapter bolted directly to the afm... secured by 4 bolts... it was put in the same way as he had on his car.. so i am sure there's no mistakes there.

well.. when we put it back into his car.. it was all fine and loud... on his but not mine. car has the stock airbox back on now, i am fine with the stock airbox really.. i can hear my turbo spooling loud enough in cabin .. don't really want to through the hassle of getting the pod to make the sound. was just curious as to why it didn't make that sound.. just got in my head and thought something might be wrong with my car or something.

Do u actually know someone who has done number 2? :thumbsup: excuse the pun :P :P.

Do you mean. Bolt the pod to the pipe. Or actually what you have written there. :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
