Fitting Standard Airbox With Intercooler

[NikhtaR33]

hey just wanting to change my pod back to a standard air filter on my r33 gtst. just wondering does the standard airbox still fit with an aftermarket intercooler?

[Count Grantleyish]

What type of aftermarket intercooler you have?

If yours is 'turnflow' (piping connects to standard piping in engine bay), just plonk the airbox in.

[NikhtaR33]

the piping connects to the pipe where the bov is. it goes down and then to the left like almost every aftermarket intercooler i have seen on a r33

If your piping go across the motor to inner guard on RHS, you may fit factory airbox but without snorkel.

'Turnflow' you can plonk complete factory airbox (include snorkel).

If you don't get what I'm on about, take a picture of your motor bay, me or someone else will be able to tell you.

That isn't 'turnflow' type so you can only whack factory airbox without snorkel, as piping is in the way (there's a tutorial on how to modify the airbox snorkel with piping same one you've linked).

Alternatively, you can either buy ARC airbox or buy shield for pod filter easily on for sale section on forums.

do the pod filter shields make it legal??

and do they fit all types?

[NikhtaR33]

Depends on where you're at, and depends on officer's discretion.

S1 and S2 are the same.

I have the same pipes and only could put the airbox in. I came up with an idea of cutting/slicing the corner out so it didnt hit the pipe.

I have since modded the snorkle now and after cutting the pipe i used aluminium flashing (get it from bunnings in a roll) and glued it onto the snorkle and because its soft (bend from hand) you can mould it to be concave and the curve of the pipe fits in nicely now.Just painted it all matt black and you cant tell. It does remove some airflow but at least its cold and looks really good (i think anyway)

Have a look (beats sucking inhot air from turbo & manifold with the pod i had...
