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!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
