hey guys, recently i've put in a cold air intake for my k&n pod filter. don't notice any real performance gains, but i did notice that my bloody petrol meter drops a lot faster! fuel consumption has gone worse. does this sound right?

then i planned to put the stock box back and give it cold air intake and realised what Zahos has mentioned.

The R33 is top to bottom, and there isn't much room on the airbox lid to slap another pipe in...

i couldn't drill a hole through the stock box for the cold air intake.

btw, i don't have a heat shield or cold box, would this be the reason, because its still basically just sucking in hot air? CAI is just letting more air in and mixing with the hot air so the pod is sucking in more hot air?

also, my car is NA :D

For R32, it is a very easy mod! you just slap another pipe into the bottom of the box to get more cold air.

The R33's flow air through the box in the oppisite way, and the lid does not have much room for a pipe to be put on, hence my plans to modify it!

To clarify for those wondering the difference, here is another pic showing the differences.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
