Will a pod filter make a difference on...

[Torrens]

a R33 gtst with a complete exhaust upgrade (dump, hi-flow cat, 3.5" cat-back) but standard air filter and cold box?

Should I get a cold air partition while I'm at it?

Thanks!

yes it will...if you can channel cold air to the pod it will make a huge difference. You've got the exhaust so now all you need to do is let the engine breath a little easier...

If you can set up a cold air partition at the same time.

I don't really want to slap a pod filter in but would a highflow pannel filter be worth it?

I was going to slap a nice big cold air intake in and cut a hole out the bottom of the std airbox along with some pvc piping that feeds down in to the front bumper but faced in the opposite direction as not to get a direct pickup for water.???

Kinda Hijacked your thread sorry

panel filters make a bit of difference, my car came with a HKS panel. I have since taken off the airbox cover and intake bit then taped the panel in place. Makes a mad induction noise and fluttering off throttle.

From expirence a pod filter makes the turbo feel as if it's spooling up quicker and I have noticed some fuel economy improvements.

Cold air induction does work.

the improvements youll feel with the pod filter will depend on how badly designed the std airbox is. some are better than others. im not sure with R33's, however if you get a pod filter make sure you do the cold-air partition cos sucking in hot air from the engine bay is NOt going to help performance!
