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.

Cheers

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

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

Thanks

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

    • 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?
