If you wanna be jdm brah you just run a pipe from the intake to the ground and put a stocking over it

Edit: but +1 for a K&N washable filter. I love mine :)

Edited by SKITTLES

whats a good filter then?

HKS / Nismo (Made by K&N) / K&N / Nissan OEM / BLITZ etc... Filters.

All good, but people give shit about HKS, yet in Japan, some of the fastest high performance Skylines run HKS.

Thats because the HKS have pretty much Zero filtration but make good power. :P And its all about the POWARRRR!! :D

If your running an AFM, personally i wouldnt use a K&N. I think they are overpriced too.

1st choice for me is Apexi, but seeing as the dont have anything with a 4inch intake i went for a Simota. I like my dry filters.

ummmmmm, i thought we were talking panel filters?

Is it worth getting rid of a pod to run a standard box? I've got the ss2 turbo and when stao tested the turbo back to back with a pod and stock box, there was a difference. Also the fact that I will need a very strict metal intake pipe to line up to the stock box...

How much of a difference is there?

Interested to know too. I did a back to back run in my R33 with the stock turbo, and there was a 1rwkw difference between them. And that was just the peak. Other than that, they were identical.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
