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.

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.

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
