Hi

I am wanting to put an air pod on my skyline and I have been looking on the takakiara site. Trust and Apexi are fairly cheap on there.... can anyone recommend? Is there any difference between the pods shaped like a ball (Trust) or the flared cylinder shape (apexi).

Also - I know I will need an adapter - can I just buy a generic one? Or do I need to buy the same brand as the pod?

Thanks for any info

have used the Trust AIrinx The bigest one they have yellow in colour standard, made good power but they filter quite well for a foam pod they have three differerent layers of foam which help..but i probably stick away from foam....blitz make pods so do other brand depends whats in your price range too..

troy - sounds good!!! I might have to take u up on the offer when I get paid next.... does that include installation??? (or a lesson on how to do it) :D

Thanks for the input guys... I was looking at the Trust arinx one.. they sell it well on takakiara hahaha... nice to hear from ppl who have experienced the product

i got a copy blitz sus power pod, bloody loud! ;) but does the job and it was $120 including fitting and everything secured by to brackets! hehehe it's been flow tested and is exactly the same to the real blitz filter even down to filtration rates!

adrian :D

Redline GTR is right. The foam based elements have only a ~75-80% dirt retention rate - the stainless steel mesh type elements stop even less. Go for a K&N if you want your compressor blades to last. You're looking at about 150 bucks for a new K&N and adapter.

there's a very good thread on this somewhere, which includes a link to a semi-scientific comparative test using a vacuum cleaner.

I have an HKS mushroom, and whilst I agree that they trade filtration for increased flow, I must say, It gets pretty bloody filthy with small shitty dirt. So, it must filter some smaller-than-bird particles.

I wouldnt take it off road though!

One thing to remember when you get a pod is that if you don't make a cold air box for it then you'll more than likely go backwards in power.

That's due to the pod sucking in hot air from the engine bay.

Cold air boxes can be made pretty easily and are worth the time.

I've recently gone from a HKS pod filter (in a cold air box) back to a stock airbox with a high flow filter so I can coment on a direct comparison.

The pod did give me better throttle responce but I very much dought if it gave more power over the rev range. I certainly couldn't feel more power - or should I say a reducion in power when I went back to a stock box.

The reasons I changed back to a stock box was cause the induction noise was anoying me, and I couldn't be bothered with the risk of a defect (yes, I'm an old fart !! :D )

I would personaly recomend getting a high flow panel filter for the stock box, and also remove the wadding stuff that is in the top of the stock box (for better flow). This will give you a slight induction noise (but not loud) if that's what your after.

Snezza, a hi flo panel filter is just that: a higher quality, higher flo panel filter (cotton rather than paper). It is also reusable, meaning that you can wash it and reuse it.

Redline hi flow panel filters are made exacty like the K&N ones but are cheaper. Makes a big diff from the paper one.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • 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)?
