lol... Forget the haters Jeremy!

If you want the box put it in. I'm looking to put one in soon too, car came with pod filter so thinking about this box to make it less appealing to defect police.. Thought about making one, but after spending cash on tools needed and perspex, etc. might just try find a used one. They are on ebay for about $100 also. Not like it has to be high quality =)

dude i told you dont worry about the pod filter it actully gives 0kw gains if not it just gives you more heat soak. The stock intakes are actually a nailed design. Ive been trying to convince him just to go without the certificate. Its not November yet the worst thing that would happen is that yo have to go again im not sure if you have a number of times that you can try to get cleared. Id be guessing three times.

I believe 0kw is true but is throttle response a little crisp/responsive?

Also is heat soak much of issue......doesn't the air run through the intercooler before the the TB? I know at idle or low speed it will make a difference but not enough to affect a daily driver, surely?

I am a noob at the RBs but I have come from modding a supercharged v6 where a w2a is mainly used and the blower sitting on the intake manifold has a lot of heat soak and it is comonly discussed.

Not trying to be a smart ass just trying to learn a little.

I was also looking at one Jeremy.

Stock airbox sucks cold air, but has a small intake.

With exrta holes cut its less restrictive.

0$ upgrade that works.

Unboxed pods suck hot air.

No good.

A box can be as cheap as $10-$20.

Yea I can see how warm air is sucked in with out this box thing mentioned above, but with the pods enclosed surely it isn't that bad?

When at speed, there wouldn't be that much hot air, but standing still etc there would be more soak.

It's interesting 10 minutes after a drive to remove the shield and feel the Pod. Definately cooler than with no shield.

I need to trim my NAP Custom Shield a little after pulling my cooler out for cleaning, everything went back together just a little differently and it currently doesn't fit. :(

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
