Hey guys

I've put a new pod filter in my skyline due to the piping of the FMIC

anyway it's making shitloads of boost sound even at 2000rpm

is there a way I can control that like buy a boost controller or something???

I really have no idea about forced induction stuff

so if any1 has a pic of where they installed their boost controller that'll be much appreciated

Thanks

I've actually got the airbox, the brand is the netami gold pod filter

there is a hole where the old SMIC piping was,

of which I connected a tube for air intake under the front bar

it makes less noise with the air box but still quite annoyiny when all I want is to drive it normally

the standard airbox can be modified but I'd have to cut a large chunk out of the air intake

which will render it to be not very efficient

When you gota pod filter on, it will make that sucking noise. Its what a pod does.

No point putting a boost controller in to lower the boost on your stock turbo. (BTW Your turbo is stock right?)

I like have the sucking noise with my car, sounds great!

What material is it made from? paper? cotton? steel?

If you want to keep the pod - get one that is paper or cotton - that will quiten it down.

else

fit the stock air box up with a paper or highflow panel filter.

i know what you could be going through, i just took the pod filter of my v8 ute and put the the big airbox with over the radiator surround intake (mouth) because the sound of the induction noise on the pod (paper filter) was very loud, even idleing...

but the HKS pod pn (foam pod filter) my r33, the induction noise gets louder when you are comming onto boost, i do like the induction noise it gives, a deep howling noise...

The induction sound is air sucked through the pod AND the compressor turbine spinning and compressing that air, which was previously muffled with the stock airbox + filter. It's normal (and sounds sahweet) as you come on boost from around 2000RPM+.

haha @ GTST.

There is no way of getting rid of the induction noise with the pod, even if you box it. You'd need some thick heat insulation in there to make quieten it down, but even then I'd highly doubt it'd get rid of the noise like a stock air box.

Pod induction noise, you either love it or hate it. Or just learn to live with it.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
