WOG BOY Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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!

1TUF33 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3564975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-turko Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3564976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza750 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3564987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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? 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3565026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieeeee-ro Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 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.

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.

Guest trikdoutvl Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3573389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just because the pod filter isn't muffling the noise of the turbo like the stock air box would Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200335-pod-filter/#findComment-3574564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scathing Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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 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.
