Cold Air Induction

[nismoman18]

Neone got cold air on there NA cars, if so did u use the benefits of the empty front bar space

[kryz]

err. is that your pod sitting there? it's gonna get real dirty there.

[Driver]

Did you have the black plastic guard or did you take it out?

Ill take sum pics of mine when i get home from work

[Guest RedLineGTR]

friend has one but has a air feed to it so the rain dont get it and all the shit from the tyres dosent get on it as well as water.

[nismoman18]

its got the black plactic thing there, and it doesnt suck water or get very dirty surprisingly

[Greg]

did u have to cut through metal to get it there?

[Driver]

This is what i did..

Works well for me

Hmmm...

To be honest, I'm not sure that is such a great location. OK, in terms of cold air reaching the pod, that location is going to be quite effective, but the downside is the pod is exposed to all kinds of sh!t, rain, mud, dust, stones etc - I wonder how much performance you will lose on a rainy day after you've driven thru a puddle and the filter is soaked?

Perhaps put some gauze or something around the pod to try and limit the amount of contamination?

[Driver]

If it rains or anything... im not gona drive it

But im thinking of putting sum flywire or something around it or infront of it somehow to stop crap from going in it..

[Greg]

yeah i'm with you, it needs some kind of better protection from rain and stuff, but that is just a matter of experimentation. my main concern is cutting through structural metal and then your car being called unroadworthy.

[Greg]

sweet that was my 300th post

[NA_R33]

apart from the unroadworthy bit, the filter location is not that bad, with a bit of mech in the front bar it would be even better. Under the filter there is a plastic guard to stop muck from the road and tyre hitting it, and when it rains, water goes everywhere neway, i used to think the same way as u guys but seriously, but if u do and are sensible about it, u wont clean the filter that often and water will almost never be a problem.

[Driver]

I personaly think its surely worth the improvement it made to my cars performance..

[Pva_Glue]

it will get wet in rain as its too low...

but having said that how does it perform?

cheers

Mine doest get wet, and its roadworthy if u get it cut properly, those holes are there if it is a turbocharged car, it doesnt take any structural rigidity away, also you can always chuck the airbox on it if u go for a RWC at night the thing sounds so good and it makes my car perform abit better then day, after having the K&N panel filter the pod makes a bit of difference!
