pod filter probs

yesterday I put on a hks pod filter on my stock r33 series II. and blocked the hose going in to the stock blowoff valve (a mate told me it would sound mad) it actually sounds like a wrx in a way (I suggest trying it).

but ever since i put the car in this configuration, I feel a loss of power. any suggestions on why this is happening??

I thought that I should get an increase in power just by putting the pod on!!!

I thought about it and I'm thinking that maybe the standard exhaust is not copping with the amount of air that going in.

I didn't reset the ecu, i wouldn't have thought that it would be that bigger difference. I could be wrong??

anyway any suggestions would be welcome.

Dood, if you'be blocked the hose running out of the stock BOV that means that basically you are not using a BOV at all..which is a very very bad thing to do..hurts ya turbo a lot heeh

and yeah a simple air filter wont nab you any free power...

exhaust would though...

if the hose you blocked is the little one leading from the plenum then you problem is that the standard BOV blows open at about 5psi without this little hose connected

so thats where you loose your power the spring alone isnt strong enough to keep it closed on its own it needs the pressure that comes i from that hose to help it stay shut

Stop hot air getting in there and you might notice a slight improvement.?!?!?!

I'm not going to worry about going a pod filter.

It didn't show any power gain (1rwkw wow) on the dyno compared to the std air box with a bigger cold air intake and decent panel filter.

It might show more of a power increase when I start getting up around the 200rwkw mark btw.

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
