im getting rid of my pod and going back to stock airbox coz i dont see the need in making a cold air partition or box when basically thats already what the stock airbox is, but im baffled about two things

1. whats filter to use in the stock airbox ? yes im boosting it, got a powerfc, getting a new fornt mount soon and everything so i guess ill need good flow, what filter should i use ?

2. when i get my enw trust frotn mount kit, will the stock airbox fit ? because if it wont i will scrap the idea about the stock airbox, get a good pod and build somehting custom to fit with the trust cooler

btw the car is an r33 gtst :P

thanks guys

many people seem to use the k&n replacement filters for the stock air box and i haven't heard any bad reports about it yet either, so the the flow and filtering must somewhat be good :D So i suggest you give that a little research.

lethal,

From what I've heard the K&N filter for the stock box is the way to go.

Also I have a custom FM cooler out the front of mine with the stock airbox......it depends where the pipes for the cooler are run. You can get FMI kits with pipes that need the stock box removed or not.....its your choice!

Most after market intercooler kits ensure that you will have to go a POD filter.

so before spending money on the panel filter, make sure that the intercooler kit you are after allows the box to stay.

Although, I guess you could always sell the panel filter off later.

I bought a second hand TRUST panel filter for a standard air box on my R32 for $50.

And you still get the sucking sound and bov sounds.. believe me..

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
