Hey guys, need some help.

Got defected by the cops for my Pod Filter.

Need to cover it with the Just Jap box, but in order to do that i need to extend the Pod to the bottom right corner of my engine bay, towards the Water Bottle. 

I need some opinions on how to do so, and have attatched some pics of the engine bay and the actual box i want to get.

Thanks in advanced guys!

Just Jap box is a good option,

however you can build a box with about 40 bucks and 3-4 hours.

Search in the DIY forum. I think someone in the central coast did it...Jim, if i remember correctly, i forget his forum nickname.

Anyway, with summer just arriving, put back the stock airbox with a high flow panel filter. Pods = unresponsiveness in warmer conditions.

UAS sells a fibreglass airbox for pod filters, specifcally for 34s for $190ish.

I so wouldve, but i dont have the stock air box man. It sucks big time seriously.

But yeah, i need to get this up and running asap.

I would make it myself, ive seen the DIY but i just dont have the time at the moment to make it myself. And the Just Jap one looks heaps neat :P

Maybe use a metal elbow pipe.

That seems to be fairly close to where you need it to be, if you can get an elbow the right length then it should be sweet.

Something like this (provided it's the same diameter) might help you extend, and it still retains flexibility to get it exactly where you need. Might need a bit of modding to get it right.

If you used a black elbow like that, combined with a black pod enclosure, it should look fairly standard and won't stand out too much next time a cop takes a look.

Cheers for that but i cant see any of those pics, and the second link doesnt work for me.

Walked into Autobarn last night, they had these plastic and metal pipes and elbow's aswell.

But the thing is, i just need to know what do i do with the additional pipes that come off the stock intake pipe? because if i extend it, when will i do it from?

Just remove that square box that connects to the intake, and replace that with the elbow. Keep the piping with the AFM and all.

The first image is in the interesting pod filter setup thread.

Metal screams out modified intake. black piping going into a box looks more standard.

If you're getting pulled up a lot by cops I'd go the latter. It sucks having to do things like this to prevent unwanted attention but sometimes it's better than the inconvenience of defects etc... :P

Hey Howie, yeah man. I copped 2 defects in the past 2 weeks for the poddy, so i need to tend to it ASAP!

dori32, ive been lookin' for ages, but i might aswell get the full CAI going with the poddy and all.

Oh well.

Heading over to Autobarn and bunnings this arvo after work, see how it goes ;)

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
