Um, I've got an R32 GTR with lots of mods running about 300 RWKW and I'm running the std airbox. I heard that pods give a much more audiable induction noise, but that they must be boxed so as not to be sucking in the hot air from the engine bay.

If so how is this best executed? Are there any other implications of doing this? I guess I'd like a few more exciting noises as right now I've really only got injectors and exhaust. Be nice to hear the induction and the turbos.

Thoughts?

So you get your pods and then strap this over them. Where does the air get into the box? also ,what will this set up do for me? More induction nosie and will I hear the turbos? Cheers.

In all honesty your better off keeping the stock airbox.

There are a number of cars making BIG numbers off the R32 airbox...

Pods only decrease performance of a streeter, in/out of traffic etc. All it does it suck up hot air.

Gotta ask yourself what you want.

Noise or perfomance?

:(

thanks Nismoid. Performance isn't the issue as there is plenty of that. Just looking for a bit of added wank factor. If that's going to cost me performance, then I'll pass on it. I notice too there is some possibility of this mod being illegal unless engineering which sounds like a pain to me.

Legally you'll be ok if they are not oiled pods.

EPA ruling states you are allowed one intake modification.

So if you have the stock cooler, pods are OK.

No Engineering required in that department.

BTW - (bit of shameless plugging here) You should join the SAU-Vic club :)

Wow, Victoria is lenient. No way you can do this in NSW. Pods equals defect, simple as that.

I thought in nsw pods were legal as long as they are secured and enclosed?

Vic is not so free on a gtst, as nismoid said only one intake mod so its either a fmic or pod filter, although a lot of people take the chance and run both with an atmo bov and then come on here complaining how all cops are arse holes because they got defected for mods that are pure wank factor and they know are illegal.

Yeah, sorry I should have clarified. Pods inside a air box are OK I think. Pods on their own, no way.

    • 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.
