Hey guys,

i bought an airbox from a forum member for my s2 r33, but it doesn't fit properly. the mounting bolt holes dont all line up. I can probably make a bracket for it, but i was just wondering - his car was a s1 - i wouldn't have expected them to be different, does anyone know if they are?

cheers

Hmmm, I can't remember if its the R32 and R33 boxes that are different or the series 1 and 2.

Did your original airbox have the hole in the side of the airbox? (ie. one hole for the snorkel to connect to, and another on the side near the filter).

I installed it today, it did fit, well all mount points except 1... but seems solid enough, so not to worry i guess :wave:

I have to say, the car is certainly alot quieter when driving now, it made a big difference. can't hear any induction noise at all, so it sounds slower hahaha, but the noise what starting to really bug me, so i'm happy, and from what i've read, i shouldnt be losing any power hey :spank:

On each bolt hole did you have a what looks like a rubber gromet with a washer on each side, if you dont have those maybe that may have put it out of alignment a bit.

From the research i have done (i also went from a hks pod to an airbox) an R33 airbox is good for 250rwkw with out losing any/much power.

Yeah, the upper two (the holes that line up above the wheel) had those grommets , the lower two, which bolt into a little mounting bracket above the intercooler didn't. It was one of these lower points that didn't line up properly. No big deal i guess.

As for power, thats what I read also. I'm not aiming that high, about 200 is what i want so i dont see that i'll have any issues, plus it's no longer defectable :spank: and thats a plus!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
