I had a Power Enterprise pod before my 3L conversion, very loud 12months of use and was nothing inside. Was in a UAS cold air box with a CAI Now running an Apexi pod with a hard intake pipe, cant complain with either.

The most important thing is they are set up properly away from heat and dust. The performance differences between brands would be negligable.

I had a KnN wet oil pod setup but changed it to HKS

I had the green HKS pods with hard pipes for a while and they were OK.

But I have now changed to simota urathae pods. They are a dry type pod that is molded from a single piece.

they work great. Just wash them in soapy water every 6 months and put them back in. They are much bigger then the HKS ones so more surface area for the air to be drawn in from.

2 of these fit a R33 GTR perfect

Can't remember what size my ones are, i think the larger ones

can someone tell me or better still show me how a cold air intake is installed on a GTR from the bumper?

I know that the stock setup has a snorkle running into it that intakes air from above the radiator and funnels it into the stock airbox. I am wondering if you can retain the stock snorkle and instead of it going into your stock airbox, you have it plumbed through the partition that separates your pods from the rest of your engine bay. Would this work or do you need to have a full custom snorkle running from under the bumper somewhere and up and if so, can you buy these pore fabed?

I used that pod on my Integra Type R, and it was located inside the bumper. SO got the full brunt of dirt water and dust. Brilliant pod!

Am on Apex'i now. Cant be happier. Its a cute little thing tho, compared to some of the other monsters.

Im going to clean mine this week, but not with water, probly with the compressor from the inside out. Unless someone thinks this is a bad idea.

Good find with that Autosalon article, remember reading that ages ago and was amazed by that 3A racing filter.

yer these are very good cos there is no oil on them and all oiled filters can be bad for the afm,i rate them high

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
