I really want to put my old airbox back on (getting tired of the pod filter noise), the only problem is the snorkel doesn't fit becuase of the intercooler piping, is there custom airboxes i can buy? or even something to enclose my pod into as my pod is behind my front bar at the moment and i'm just a bit scared of too much water getting sucked up.

thanks

I made the factory snorkel fit by cutting it to fit around the cooler piping and then plastic welding (with a soldering iron :) it actually worked pretty well) a sheet of plastic over the hole, then made a partition with an inlet for the snorkel. The partition seals pretty well against the chassis and the bonnet and I also have a cold air feed from the front bar to the factory IC piping hole.

Will take pics tomorrow when the camera batteries have charged.

I used a file and filed out my old cooler piping hole for my cold air induction then added some pvc piping shaped like an L, maybe u could cut a hole bottom of ur standard airbox let in cold air that way and piss the pod off prob get good performance out of it. My thoughts newaiz..:)

Only problem with that is there would be nothing filtering the air before it hits the AFM. The filter panel in the factory box sits above the AFM.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
