Dush Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey guys/girls... Thinking of removing my APEXi pod and running stock air box again along with a metal intake pipe form turbo to Air box (I need to find a a good Fabricator in melb somewhere..) Any one know how good the R33 stock Air box is? Is anyone currently using it and making power over 250kw? Because of my cooler piping.. i dont think i can run the factory snorkel... whats your advice and opinion... Cheers Guys, Dush Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/233548-stock-air-box-on-r33/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 without the snorkel... its kinda not much use. The whole purpose of the airbox is the snorkel etc to get that cold air in, and keep the hot air out (ie, with pods etc) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/233548-stock-air-box-on-r33/#findComment-4094523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBwhatever Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well if you want your snorkle to fit, you're either going to have chop and mod the snorkle, or get yourself a more appropriate intercooler piping setup so it lets it fit. A return flow FMIC kit would do it to keep the stock look, but your looking at some $$ for a decent kit.

RBwhatever Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 reasonable being the operative word. There are better kits around but if you can get the Just Jap kit on without too much drama then fantastic. That said, I have the earlier non return flow kit on my car, can't beat it price wise and does the job fine, but there was a little fiddling fitting it.

Basti Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 yeah there seems to be a bit of modding required to get it to mount properly. looks like an easy fix for JJR to make too. dunno why they dont. OT the stock box is good. the only thing letting it down is the snorkle. there have been a few threads on here where ppl have attempted to widen the intake or mod it to fit a normal FMIC. if you can find a way to get a second feed into the box form somewhere let us know Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/233548-stock-air-box-on-r33/#findComment-4094832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl33py Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Topic done to death, but anyway: R33 GTST with the stock airbox here = 256rwkw. And the GTR airbox is supposd to perform even better (on GTRs of course).

Basti Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 not with a cooler its not...Dezz, Didn't know ur car had balls. Lol actually it is. you are allowed one intake mod. so pod OR cooler. so if you can manage to fit the box woth your fmic, you'll be fine. the panel filter doesnt count because its a replaceable item, much like your brake pads. i've got a pod for the wank factor. and planning on a r34 sidemount. illegal setup but highly unlikely that a cop is gonna know the difference between a stocko and an r34 jobbie. i might go return flow cooler later on and go back to box.
