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.

go to air-filters, page 3

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

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
