MIC33R: doesn't the Trust one annoy the crap outta you? I've got one and it just gets a little... sneezy for my liking. Plus everyone who rides in my car asks "what is that wooshing in your engine? It sounds like a small child..."

In terms of filtering, i would assume that all foam ones will not filter as well as the oiled ones, period. The oiled ones will catch more of the small particles and hold them. If you agitate the foam ones the small particles can 'sift' through the filter, and as Roy mentioned his impeller seems a bit worn. Additionally, i would think that the more noise it makes the less restrictive it must be and the more fine particles must be getting through. My last car had a massive K&N on it, and i think it sounded meaner - more of a baritone induction bark. If i wasn't a tight arse and thought any money now should be spent on other go-fast bits, i'd change the Airnx for a K&N.

Ronin, It annoyed me heaps at first, but then I grew to love the noise. It's the loudest pod I've EVER heard by far. Mine doesn't do the sneeze thing though, my new bov seemed to stop that. So it is purely an induction noise now. It's a bit of an acquired taste. Everyone who rides in it always says it makes the car sound fast.

Small child LOL :)

I won't argue with you over that, but after pulling both apart they are identical. as you said though the foam may be questioned, i don't know what dual desity foam looks like so i can't tell. the trust one i compared it to has been oiled on the inside, hard to say

Well guys, thanks for all of the imput. I have ended up going the way of a huge K&N, measuring up 150mm flange by 150mm long, tapering down to 127mm. In all it will bolt straight onto my existing Blitz mounting bracketry. Cousting $150 from bursons. I gues you pay for what you get in the end.

Cheers,

Kris

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
