Hey People,

I've just put a 3A pod filter on my 92 GTS - T.

I bought it from Dr Drift in Brooklyn Victoria.

Just wanted to let any one know who is thinking of getting one, that they sound fantastic.

The sound and character of my car is totally different.

When the turbo spools it sounds like the pod is going to suck the asphalt off the road. and when you back off you can really hear the stock BOV blow back through the intake pipe, whereas before the whole driving experience was pretty much silent.

The boost seems to come on earlier as well.

I'm really happy with the result of a $35 modification (including the adapter).

Now i'm going to make up a heat shield to house the pod.

Anyway, Onward and Sideways...

Pods will make that sucking noise which sounds sweet and the nice "choo" sound.

There is a thread about which pods gave the best results and 3A came out on top as apposed to APexi, Blitz, HKS, Trust ect.

About the boost kicking in earlier, maybe cause you can hear the pod sucking and at the same time you got a larger intake then just the snorkle / panel filter...

Actually the 3A filter which make noticeable gains in power, combined with a good quality partition to prevent higher intake temps, it's an excellent value for money mod...

If only EPA would be friendly to this AND a cooler :wacko:

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
