K&n Apollo On An R33

[SargeRX8]

Originally had a K&N oiled panel filter. Ripped out the old air box, fitted in a pod and made my own shield out of perspex. My old man recons I could be choking the car using the box as the car has to suck air from all other little nooks. I was checking out a forum and some guy said he has one of these in his car.

They look pretty awesome. They shield off the pod and leave you with an induction pipe to tunnel around where ever you like.

Does anyone have one or recommend them? My car makes 240rwkw if that makes any difference.

A guy who sells them has them for $219 delivered to your door. He told me the best place to mount the pipe is down below the foglights and I asked if water would get into my engine. He said as long as the pod is above the intake of the induction pipe, water will always play by the law of physics and it won't go up the pipe.

I want this thing if it can provide more benefit than a standard pod.

Cheers!

Well the stock airbox would be fine...

But what you have posted above looks basically like some glorified irrigation/tractor pipe... and a nice pricetag to suit.

Just go down to your local hardware store. Ask for some 3-4" tractor pipe, put the inlet behind the passengers side airduct, stick it upto your airbox - done deal for all of about $10.

dont have a box for my pod, but i bought some supercheap auto bendy pipe 3" and a cheap as afm adaptor and put the bendy pipe from under the pod to under my foglight, also about $10

used the afm adaptor to bolt into my engine bay and connect the pipe to it, and just a small screw into my bumper

wasnt sure how effective it was going to be but just cleaned my pod and it was visibly dirtier from the underside inline with the pipe i installed

however that product dose look preety kewl

Thats actually a brilliant idea. Did you have to have to make the hole for your intercooler piping bigger to fit the piping through?

I mainly want this for the awesome look but I hate paying for aesthetics when something alot cheaper and DIY can perform the same function. Do you have a photo of your setup?

That kit you have pictures is way overpriced.

As previously stated, use irrigation pipe or similiar ( autobarn ) sell flexi pipe cheap too.

You may have to make you hole bigger or cut new one to suit and def make a heat shield.
