Hi guys,

I've got some heat reflective foam left over from my CAI partition that I done.

These will fit a HKS air filter in a R33 GTS-t beautifully (see pic).

I'm really not sure if they will fit any other airfilter though, but if you like I can NOT cut the hole for the airfilter.

These have a side that is angled and a top. The filter will breath from around the headlight.

These are simular to the ones sold for $90 but mine has a top as well :D

Cost is $40 and buy will have to pay postage otherwise I'll make zero money out of it :P:)

The pic is of the metal one that I made, but the reflective foam is the same design.

Whatdoyareckon?

Thejackal,

Your PM box is full. I'll have it sent off by the weekend.

The biggest difference I noticed is when your sitting at the lights for a few minutes. Without the partition the car seemed to take off pretty sluggish and would take about 20 seconds to come back to normal. This must have been because of al the hot air it was breathing.

With the partition in, the sluggishness (is that a word?) is gone and there is max power straight away. Just what you need when a WRX pulls up next to you at a red light :P:D:)

Also is there a hole to run a pipe from the front bar up ?

MrSnrub & PVA_Glue,

Guys I'm really not sure if the Blitz filter will fit in the partition. The HKS filters aren't very tall but are very fat (round) to increase flow.

Have a look at the pic I've attached to this reply and you can make up your own mind if the Blitz will fit or not. The pic is of the partition without the lid on. I'm just not sure cause I've never seen a Blitz filter before :P :confused:

Ben - If your worried about air flow you can do what I've done and cut a hole in the inner guard to let more air in. No crap comes through the hole. I'm sure it would be fine without the hole, but I just wanted to make sure.

BTW: the first pic is of the metal partition that I've made, and the ones that I'm getting rid of are foam backed with heat reflective foil, but are excatly the same design. Just so you know.

I can make the metal ones if you want, but they will cost around the $150 mark cause I have to buy the metal and it will take at least a few hours to make 1 :eek: :eek:

Looking at the foam I have left, I should have enough for 2 or maaaaaybeeee 3 more.

Leon.

Have you driven your car with the pod on yet? It makes a great sound hay :D

The partition is relativly easy to put on, if your handy with a spanner you'll have no problems. You'll need to take the pod off to put the partition on. And if your fussy you could take the cross over pipe off too. But the easiest way would to make a small cut at the botom of the foam partition so you can slip it around the pipe.

Then run a bead of silicon around the edge of the partition where the top sits on. This will seal it and keep it in place.

I'm not sure how much you've driven your car with the pod on, but you'll notice that if your stopped at the lights for a few minutes and then take off fast, the car will be sluggish for the first bit, this is cause it's breathing in hot air which slows the car down. Using this it will breath colder air from around the headlight.

All up it would take about 30 minutes to put in.

I can send you a few more pics if you want to check it out.

It's funny cause I closed my Bigpond account a few months ago, but my old web site is still working !!!

BTW: Just remember that the pics are of the metal partition I made, but the foam one is the same design, just foam backed with heat reflective foil instead of metal.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
