Pod Filter!

[WOG BOY]

i have a S2 R33 for vehicle reference.....:i tried a pod and it made my car more unresponsive....like it had a bit of room on the accelerator that made no effect.(dont know how else to explain it)...also had some huge suction noise which i wasnt a fan of....but i did have the flutter i was after.....

could of the problem with the pod been that the connect to the AFM was not completely airsealed tight or something..or does this happen normally by making it less responsie?...any advice or answers would be awesome!

just check your front pipe on the turbo to make sure its not leaking, and if thats all good, possibly clean the afm element. other than that........ anyone? lol

its cause your pod filter is sucking in hot air

you will have to make up a box to go over your filter or put the stock one back on

[WOG BOY]

so its the hot air makin the suction noise really loud and it is also makin it unresponsive?

is that what ur tryin to say?

[gazza750]

heat will make it unresponsive

pod will make lots more suction noise compared to a covered air box like the stock air filter is in

The Air is making the noise... the fact that its hot is irrelevant

The fact that it is hot has other meaning... hot intake temps = slower car.

So put the airbox on with a good panel filter, best thing for the car... you just dont get noise.

But that can be countered by sticking your head out the window and whistling if you want, it pulls chicks all the time

if u dont like the pod sound, get a k&n panal filter and use the stock airbox.

when my 33 had this setup boosted @ 12psi i got a nice whistling sound from the panal filter.

its not really the 'pod sound' i dont like....it like it as then i get a bit of 'flutter'...because BOV's are defectable i get the chopping noise which i like better than a huge psscchhhhtt!

since this a pod thread thought id ask my question here......

i got a cone shapped pod on my rb20 like the k and n shapped 1s, but most skyline have the mushroom/dome shaped filters, are they better then the cone or is just preferance n wat fits in the motor?

Most people would agree that the mushroom/dome shaped filters, which are normally foam filters, are worse than the paper/cotton style filters. Perhaps better flow, but they're very lacking in filtration and have a habit of coming apart and with bits of foam getting sucked into your engine if you don't replace them often enough.

ook ok cool lol i guess ill keep the cone 1 in that case............ do the foam ones give off a different note cause my pod makes a annoying whisteling sound

Box it. This is just because the pod filter isn't muffling the noise of the turbo like the stock air box would

Whether unboxed pod filters are defectable or not (and I've heard arguments on both sides), the cops will assume it is defectable and issue you with a notice anyway.

i got a k&n pod it sweet i dnt mind the suction sound n love the flutter, dont hav a heat sheild ive havnt needed it as iv made alot more air able to get to it

[WOG BOY]

i have just decided to go with a quality panel filter and leave the stock airbox etc....

[Guest trikdoutvl]

i took my car over the pits with a pod on n passed....

the deal is u can have 1 but it has to be secured to something, well thats perth anyway

[Mark0]

A pod being defectable is hit and miss it depends what cop u get :| I just build myself a box today for my GTR just avoid the issue all together

[Guest trikdoutvl]

im stuck with the pod filter because my intercooler pipeing runs threw where the standard air box used to be... i hate the sucking noise with a passion, id rather listen to the spooling

[Yidz]

Yeah mine sucks real loud but i have the same situation with you with space..

Anyone bought a standard box lately for a 32? Any idea on $$$?
