R34 Pod Filter

[niZmO_Man]

Thats why i didnt use a pod, im not one of those p platers that go around "Woah dude check out my new pod! Makes it so much more powerful". Everyone knows how hard it is to actually get a pod to receive cool air, obvs if your doing what your doing is good or sticking it in the standard air box if you can.

Id love a kakimoto exhaust but again yeah im saving money for when i get turbo, thats why im trying to find a cheap pair of GOOD rims cuz atm the previous owner stuck 17 chromies on it..... so idk what to do, im not gonna spend $1000 on rims...

Instead of trying to fit a pod filter into your airbox, why don't you just stick a standard replacement A360 filter in? You'll save $$$ in short and long run.

Then buy my R34 GT-R wheels

^ Yep. Just ask for a stock filter for a VR/VS Commodore. True story.

Dude just get a brand new k&n panel filter from ebay, they're much cheaper than supercheap auto, some even come with the K&n cleaning kit. Looking at 50 dollars. Probs the only decent mod you could do to these cars without spending a ridiculous amount =p

As for rims, you could get some fake second hand RAYS for 500ish Mate of mine got it for his r34

just lol.

Haha well Spending 2000+ on real rays just isnt worth the money on a n/a skyline, considering the wheels alone will be worth 25% of the value of an n/a skyline, and the op did say he didnt want to spend 1000+ on new wheels so its a fair alternative.

how about pod filters do nothing at all cuz theres no gain aother then increased engine noise and thats the placebo. Just take of the top part of the box to give a lil more flow and leave the standard panel filter in or get a highflower panel filter that will drop straight back in, also a neater look if u ask me and less chance of degect

^ Pod filters myth busted

^ Cold air intake myth busted

Yes and MCM say that the standard filter is the best. Its a panel filter, hence why "get a K&N panel filter is the best option" its exactly same as the standard paper filters but is less restricitive

[Deza3000]

What puzzles me is why do they still bother making Pods if they do shit all =/ Unless tuning is required to take advantage of a pod...maybe?

[bozodos]

they do have their uses and sometimes there's no room to fit anything else. I wouldn't use the MCM vids as a rule for every car, it really depends on whether the stock intake tract is a restriction, which for the vast majority of imports (being small capacity or turbocharged) it isn't.

There are a few flaws in the mcm tests, so while they give a general basis to work off, they aren't gospel.

yeah i agree

Well the benefits of OTR intakes have been proven by using both magnahelic gauges and dyno charts (on LS motors at least)
