G'day!

Just wondering if I could get some assistance for my next planned upgrade on my car...

So far I've got 3" turbo-back and a Greddy intercooler, I've also got a NISMO fuel pump that is yet to be fitted, and I'm going to be buying a VIPEC sometime in Janurary.. However, since my intercooler upgrade, by stock intake system has been somewhat 'truncated' and now isn't flowing that efficiently. I'm leaning towards a boxed pod, however, due to the fact I half live in the country, I've been told that dust and pods aren't really the best of mates. If I do go that way, I've read that K&N are the best filtering, and 3rd best for flow of many pod filters tested in Aus.. However, i've also been reading that ARC make some pretty nifty producted, and I'm particularly interested in the super-induction box.. Now is it a box for a pod or is it a replacement for the stock air-box??? Do they work well or not??

Also, what are the flow/filteration rates like on the SIA?? Also, are they legal here in WA??

Please, I'm asking anyone that has a super-induction box in their car to throw up some pix.. Also, any adivse on the pod setup is very welcome! :cheers:

Just need some pointers!

Thanks!

Mark.

I've got an ARC box but haven't fitted it up.. brackets don't make sense and I need to devise a way to get cool air to the TOP of the box :P

Looks like a nice bit of kit, basically it's a replacement airbox with a panel filter on top. Really needs a small scoop directly above it and some foam to seal to bonnet me thinks.

As Phemline said... I don't see why an induction box would be illegal if it is tightly secured.

flow and filtration should be good, I'd be more concerned about the temperature of the air going into it.

Technically all pods are supposed to be boxed and secured anyway. You shouldnt have an issue with legality.

pods do NOT have to be boxed only secured

Marco just get a K&N panel filter to go straight into your stock airbox

Well that is what I wanted to do in the first place.. However after I got my intercooler installed I noticed that the induction part to my airbox had to be taken off in order to fit the intercooler piping... Hence my airbox is sucking in hot air from the engine bay, as opposed to drawing in cool air from the front.. Hence the airbox has lost the greater part of its efficiency and it makes more sense looking for an alternative setup..

Hey Dukes, I heard you make a CAI for your pod setup... Any chance you could throw up a few pics??

Yep,

I had the same problem the stock snorkel wouldn't fit, so got a pod, but it looked like cop bait.

So i made a template out of cardboard, then marked and cut some sheet metal, then spray painted it, I used wrinkle paint to get a stock look, and got clarkrubber pinch weld for the edges.

I got some 1.6mm ally sheet and used the jigsaw to cut 2 strips out then bolted them from the afm/pod bolts back to the chassis, worked a treat and passed the pits fine.

I also had one of my cooler pipes cable tied back to the waterpipe that comes off the manifold, in an effort to keep the pipe off the fan when the bonnet closed.. also passed the pits fine :P

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
