best pod filters we have found so far from our dyno testing is apexi ones

we only lost 2kw on a 435kw rb28dett gtr,

samota is rubbish, one car lost 15kw with one. average is 5-10kw

k&N is alright, just depends on how oiled and how dirty it is.

i havn't done any tests with the foam style hks pod filters

Go with what u know, as long as u maintain them, thats more important. I personally use k+n but thats just me. Have had no issues with them at all and easy to clean, Never use'd oil either.... no need. But then again my thats just me?? :)

If your talking about the material, HPI has this ranking system;

1: Metal Mesh filters= excellent airflow, but only filters bigger particles. 2nd best intake method apart from NO FILTER.

2. Oiled= Good airflow, will pick up anything. DONT OVER OIL !!

3. Unoiled/paper= Good allrounder

4. Foam= One of the worst filtration systems . BUT if replaced at common intervals, will do a great job. Beware of loose chunks of foam.

Best airflow= metal mesh

Best filtration= Oiled filters.

K & N are a good run of the mill filter.

Key is to change it often. My cai after a while, kind of rips a hole through the bottom of the filter :P.

Hey I'm looking at putting new filters on my 32 gtr. It already has pod filters on but they have seen better days. What are the best ones to put on?

Have you tried cleaning your pods?

Just buy the K&N cleaning kit or VHT make a air filter cleaner spray.

Clean it, dry it and bolt it back on.

APexi are good or HKS.

3A Racing pods you can buy from Auto Barn or Super Cheap Autos.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
