Hi guys, i'v got an r33gts-t and currently have the standard air box with no snorkle as the fmic pipe doesnt allow it to go on. I was looking into getting a pod filter and maybe have a cold air feed??? Whats the best thing to do and is there a certain filter i should go with?

Any help would be great!

Cheers James

I just have a pod filter inside of a custom aluminium box that I made with insulation padding on the inside of it.

On a forced induction car it aint a HUGE deal having no cold air intake if you have a decent front mount. Obviously it aint going to hurt though.

Do my intake setup IF you don't have a return flow cooler. Stock airbox (hacked up air feed to fit over cooler pipe. Put a hole in the bottom/side of the airbox. Put a duct from the airbox down through unused stock intercooler hole into front bar. Attach pod to the end of it. I have my guard liner in there too so cops can't see I have it so it's "legal" lol. Best way by far to do it. An you have 2 intakes :)

hey mate, which part of the bottom side of the air box did you cut out? Can you draw a rough pic or take a pic of your air box for us?Cheers

I can try take pics mate. But it's in the car in a way that you can't tell it's there. I'll take a pic from the inside of the airbox and post it up tonight/tomorrow

Is this the type of filter you are talking about Richard?

Cheers

save all the hassles with a 2 inlet mod restrictions and cut the snorkle around your intercooler pipe. at least you wont get any heat soke with a pod...

I just marked out the snorkle ovel the pipe and used a jigsaw then glued on some "Bunnings house flashing" (like soft alluminum)..

pic below. very easy and near stock....

mind you i did have to reglue it at the rear as I was impatient and installed it while wet...fixed now though

Regards,

dazza

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
