hey as stated i got an 33 gtst, its got hks sequential bov an hks mushroom filter..

it sucks quite loudly even when not accelerating much...as in just feel the car picking up speed an then take foot off an bov will sound...

not really what i want is it abnormal or just the way it is?

hey man i got the same problem, i got a boost guage and even before boost i hear it sucking and it doses wen i let the accelerator,,dunno wats wrong?

The only way to really tone it down is to replace the factory airbox and put in a performance panel filter. Many guys are running this setup and are very happy with the results.

The factory airbox will dampen the induction noise unlike the open filter that you are currently using.

yeah gonna hav to replace my POd anyway, i just put in a fmic yesterday so im defective at the moment,, the intercooler makes a nice flutter tho :D ,, got a standard bov as well

  • 1 month later...

i had the same problem, loved the sound of the pod filter to start with but after a couple weeks it got irritating. I changed it back to the factory air box but the snorkel wont fit over the intercooler pipe (still tyring to find a simple way around this)

love the sound of no pod though, can hear the turbo spinning which is much better than the sucking from the pod.

i noticed a big difference when i chucked in my FMIC and pod....the induction noise was definitely louder...now i have found its pretty simple..when accelerating dont hit any vacuum lol as i have blocked off my stock BOV it would flutter even with the slightest of vacuum....apart from putting the stock airbox back in there is nothing you would be able to do rather then with your right foot to stop the induction noise

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
