Just a question, looking for some feedback, i have a Blitz Sus pod filter on my Gtst, to me it is way too loud and all i hear is induction noise/sucking even over the exhaust. Is this the case for most of the top brand filters? also or are the Blitz just very loud? Might sound noob, but im curious into changing brands, but dont wanna waste money. Thanks

I think any form of pod filter will sound the same so don't waste your money buying a similar thing in another brand.

I've got a 33 GTST. I went from the stock airbox with a K&N panel filter to the HKS dome pod with the foam filter.

Personally, I love the induction sound but each to their own.

cheers

Most pod filters make heaps of induction noise. I'd say the only real difference between filters' noise would be foam vs paper pods.

Either get a cold air box to surround the pod (muffle a lot of the noise) or go back to standard air box. Either of these options will shut it up and also give you slightly more power/efficiency.

Yeah i even have a JJR Pod enclosure now, the Blitz is a paper style pod (hard with mesh), i dont have the standard airbox as i bought the car like this.

I do agree and like induction noise, but this just sounds overly loud. Cheers

The induction noise will be much more audible inside the cabin than outside, for the record.

Ok sweet thanks for the feedback, just wish someone that has this same filter could tell me what they think, just to know Edited by Bw33zy

I had a Blitz pod filter, got rid of it for a stock airbox with K&N panel, and also a metal intake pipe to the turbo. Because of the metal pipe I still get a strong induction noise, but my BOV is a lot quieter unless I'm hitting boost pretty hard, it's a pretty good setup.

Okay sweet, did u think the blitz was loud also? i just purchased a stainless intake pipe, yet to fit.

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
