I would go for a high flow panel filter from K&N or Apexi. You can buy the K&N filter from Autobarn and the Apexi one most i think some traders on the forum sell.

In terms of the pod filter, again I would go for a K&N or Apexi. Depending on which state you're in, not sure if this would be a defect modification for you. Studies have shown the Apexi produces most power with the best filtration with the K&N coming in second best.

Pod filters are a waste of time and don't gain any real performance over a high quality panel filter in stock airbox.

You just need to look at the Mines R34 GTR or any Mines car for that matter he uses panel in stock air box.

Go the k&N panel.... :rant:

4 an N/A +1 on keeping the stock airbox with a hi flo panel filter... really not worth it unless ur after hektic induction noise lol, u will need it fully encolsed, CAI, it fully mounted etc 2 much effort lol

I honestly don't hear any noise difference on an NA motor. Unless the hood is open and I'm sticking my head in to a get good look, I can't hear it.

On a turbo set up, it's pretty obvious.

on some NA cars it's very obvious though. i have had a pod on 3 6 cylinder cars (falcon, commodore and magna) and the falcon and magna it made a massive difference to the intake noise (sounded throaty) but the commodore it didn't do a thing.

A pod will suck hot air from the engine bay if you dont have a shroud for it and some form of cold air intake.

Go the quality panel filter

Hot air = fail

Yes should have explained self better, was thinking of a Pod inside a custom airbox

Thanks, was just asking as these things are so underpowered, not that I want it going to hard for my leaner daughter.

Just feels so slow compared to my 400rwkw+ BA Turbo.

Will just go with a K&N Panel Filter and look into improving the exhaust.

I went with the Apexi power intake and decided to make my own heatsheild, still not finished the sheild gotta make it look nice.

Cost me about $30 to make it, makes a big difference if its shielded or not

Thats what I was thinking, Thanks

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
