i was thinking i have a 400r front body kit and behind it i have a scoop for my cold air induction then the air goes to my inclosed pod filter. what i was thinking is if i were to seal the cold air induction to my pod (seeing as my inclosser would let most of my air out).

would i gain power or would my ecu be "like wtf is going on here..." and wouldnt be able to ajust to it. the scoop throws in a lot off air in.. at least i think it does. would it be a gud idea?

by sealing do you mean, sealing all the gaps around your cold air box with silicon or watever?

i had a similar setup on my old car, same front bar and everything, i didnt seal my box.

you wont find much of a difference in just sealing the box up, sure it will make the air a little bit colder, but meh.

the ecu wont change

be prepared to clean your pod alot more often, as the cold air induction pipe brings in all the dirt off the road, i was amaized how dirty mine got after about 6 months of using the pipe.

Ive done this, Just with a UAS Box though, I havent made it air tight or anything... Clutch is right, it will make your pod alot dirtier, if you dont mind cleaning it more often I think its probably better than no cold air feed at all...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
