Terminal Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 hmm... the coils seemed to be fine when i checked them, i did the coil test by disconnecting one and seeing if the engine kept firing or not. i guess ill have a closer look. i wouldn't expect water could get down that far, but one of my coils was wet. ill have another go at them i suppose. i replaced the plugs, so they're fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36550-flat-spotpower-loss/page/2/#findComment-734515 Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'oh - oh well, it's good you got it sorted out. Hay if you've got a stock airbox and need a stock filter element, I've got one you can have for nothing.

Terminal Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 I've actually got an HKS Pod, it came with the car, but the filter is stuffed now. I'm actually thinking about getting a stock airbox reinstalled and a high flow filter, is there any difference between this and a Pod? i don't want to lose power, but the Pod is so bloody noisey Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36550-flat-spotpower-loss/page/2/#findComment-735599 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from the HKS pod that was in a cold air box, to a stock airbox with a high flow panel filter. The only difference I found was that it was 10 million times quiter...... I noticed no difference in power at all. With the highflow panel filter I can still hear a little bit of induction noise, and I can hear the turbo spool up now (really high pitched whine, that goes so high it goes out of range of your hearing ) but it's 100% better than the HKS pod.

ENTYSU Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 hehe what do u want performance or driving pleasure. you will only get a little bit of induction roar and it would help your overall power increase by a lil .... plus the induction whistle and chatter sounds awsome... hehe cha cha cha ...

Jay95R33 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Little bit of induction noise..... That's not a HKS pod filter. They are one of the loudest pods around. I actually found it pretty anoying. Taking off normally it'd sound like your were going flat out. Much nicer to drive with the stock box with a high flow panel filter.
