Hi SAU members.

I remember posting one of these topics on my R34 GTT a few years back.

Now its time for the R33 GTST DIY install.

This thread is for people who want to specifically install an Apexi Power Intake POD filter and make a DIY induction box themselves to try and make the installation as "legal looking" as possible and reap the advantages of a greater induction air volume.

Watch this thread for the pictures and step by step instructions from airbox removal, to drive away.

(give me a few days)

Regards

Hang in there guys.

I've got the words and photos, and just need to finish off.

There were a few tricks along the way, but the removal and install took just a day, including the induction box.

Watch this space, and again, apologies for not posting the info sooner.

See pictures posted related to the oil catch can DIY install, and you'll get the idea of the final product.

Many thanks.

Jim

wow u put alot of effort in to that DIY nice job and the Induction Box looks the shit :(

just one thing could u plz plz post printable templates of the Induction Box so that others (me) can make it :)

but awesome job i didnt doubt u for a second ;)

Great Job!

Only thing i can fault is that the pods is of course, enclosed from the engine bay heat, but it lacks any sort of air intake.

The only cool air it draws is i guess around the headlight.

Might drop intake temps alot more if there was a feed of some sort, be the factory snorkle slotted in, or if a regular over the top FMIC was fitted, a pipe in from the bottom. :P

Other than that, fantastic effort!

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
