Hi all

i purchased a new airbox for my rb25det http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...sid=p2759.l1259 i have installed it three times and every time its on the car the turbo dosnt want to come onto boost it trys but nothing happens the bov makes a muffled sound and the car just accelrates slowly but unwillinglly

very frustrated been working on it four 6 hours now i had to disconnect the black cannister near the air con condensor and remove the intercooler piping other than that everything is untouched.

thanks in advance

you see... this is why I carry on about using the stock air box.

look how much time/money you have spent.

How much it's giving you the shits.

and you've gone Backwards in performance in comparison to an exposed pod filter, and even further backwards compared to a stock air box.

there are at least 3 stock airbox with snorkle and panel filter for sale on these forums for an R33 GTST for $50.

If you must keep it, then I'd suggest removing the partition and going for another drive (how many hours to do that?).

if there are no problems high in the rev range, then you know that the partition is causing some sort of problem.

be it not enough air due to no cai (Cold Air Induction) or perhaps it is too tight around the rubber intake pipe that goes from pod to turbo and is actually crimping it a little causing a restriction in air.

perhaps due to no air feed (cai), the rubber pipe between turbo and pod is being sucked closed..

who knows..

so what are you going to do?

spend another x hours to diagnose and possibly fix it but still be left with a system that has no air feed?

or spend less time and $50 to get the stock air box and sort it out properly.

thanks guys im going to go to stock air box and see what happens it came with the pod when i bought it all i was trying to do is keep the hot air from the motor, away from the intake seemed simple enough (sigh) hopefully nothings been changed in there to stop it fitting

wen i get my car back ill show u out it should be set up properly, you should always stick to the OEM airbox unless you can supply a proper CAI(cold air intake) for your enclosed POD, otherwise its either A) sucking hot air which is useless or B) sucking no air cuz theres no air feed.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
