Word of advice,

If youre going with a pod, buy a 3A brand filter... $30 at most and outperforms ALL big brand jap and local stuff in filtering ability and most in flow too. Usually sold at Motorquipe.

well..i went into villis tonight and it was uncomfortable to say the least.. i had no idea who i was looking for and the fact there were 30 pensioners behind me with an acoustic guitar frightened me. it was you guys wasn't it? thats why you drive wagons, to keep your guitars and walking frames handy..

but yeah, dissapointing :banana: i guess it was my own fault, it's disarming having a room full of peoples eyes glued to you and i was too afraid to ask someone, on the plus side i think i disturbed a few children.

anyway if it's a regular thing i'll come down next friday? i'm pretty easy to spot, a bandy legged kid with a funny hair cut and unsightly tats. so please say hi or at least tell me who to look for.

thanks guys

oooh. so it was you who was going back and forward in the white 34.

yeah... we were all sitting in the outdoor area.

There were a few skylines parked in the carpark/street, including 2 stageas :(

Drop in again this friday and say hi ya big girl :whistling:

i just switched from a Apexi power intake pod/with heatshield to stock airbox with K&N panel - seems to be slightly less hesitant and pulls just as hard/harder (definitely more quiet) so i might stick with the panel for a while!

do miss the induction sound from the pod already tho...oh well :down:

Not so sure Dave, I've been doing alot of reading into the arc airbox. They have no direct air flow to them so sucking hot air from the engine bay, there heavy so I'm thinking a well setup pod, heatshield and cai would be much better.

I'm a fan of people hooking up 1 or 2 plastic pipes from the bumper grille, into the standard airbox. Wouldn't mind seeing what happens then. Only colder air, less police attention in the engine bay.

theyre heavy? news to me.

ive got the 'lack of direct airflow' thing covered, a $5 cai from bunnings running from next to the passenger side foglight to the hole right in front of the airbox. problem solved.

just ditched my apexi pod for stock box and hi flow panel

sound = not so mean... but pulls better then a heat soaked pod

now to remake the intake snorkel into a wide mouth carbon fibre funnel and create headlight cover with flow direction into the snorkel ???

increase the lid top intake velocity/flow by doubling the hole size and smooth/direct flow inside the box

this is what i found when i changed from twin pods to the stock air box on the GTR, i noticed straight away that the car kept pulling hard right high into the revs, with the pods on it seemed to feel like it would hiss and make induction noise but then the power would trail off as all its sucking in is hot air.

i did miss the suction noise so i put the pods back on, but the loss in power because of the 'hot air intake' was not worth the sound.

on the GTR i have pulled that resonator thing out of the front bar, so running 16psi low and 21psi high boost i can hear the induction noise through that a little more.

seems like troy and i went from the same setup on the same cars back to the standard box! both had benefits...

+1 on your idea for the 'darth vader' of air intakes dude, anybody know anyone in adelaide who can custom make this sort of shit?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
