well ive tryed over the weekend the benefits of pod in engine bay vs pod under guard.

Results as below:

In engine bay:

* Poor response

* Lacking in power

* Sucks in heat and dust

Underguard:

* Very Excellent response

* Feels like more power

* Some signs of elements(water, dirt) being sucked in but very minimal.

So under the guard is the best form of cold air especially if you feed the cold air to it.

hope it helps

I used 2 pieces of 45degree 100mm PVC pipe

Cut a 100mm dia hole underneath my stock R32 Airbox and pointed one of the 45degree 100mm PVC pipes towards the front of the car.

I connected the other 45degree bend in to the 45degree bend that points towards the front of the car so it points in to the air box.

Then with the dremel I slowly chipped away at the lower half of the air box.

Looking in to the engine bay it looks very clean and stock.

Wouldn't pick it unless you went for a VIS as cutting any metal is illegal.

If I ever go for a VIS I will have to replace the dogleg (i think its called) or maybe just slap a piece of painted black plate over the hole and pop rivet it in so it doesn't stand out.

If its intercooled, why the need for cold air intake? Doesnt the coola bring the temp back to around 20deg anyway??? :confused:

It couldn't possibly make all that much difference unless its boosted beyond what the coola can handle. Could it??:confused:

:uhh: You seem to be overlooking the amount of hot air that will be taken it by pod filters if not properly shielded.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
