MAXX....

Ive got a 1997 Stagea wagon, based on the 1997 series 2 R33. Im here in Adelaide. Ive noticed a few ppl with Stagea's have enquired about the CAI.

These CAI's look wicked.... so, my quesry is, would you consider making up the CAI box to suit Stagea's? You could use my car to make the template up if you wish.

How well do these CAI boxes keep engine heat away from the POD filter?

I've just put a Blitz pod filter on my NA R33 and may need to order one of these depending on how badly I notice power loss by pod sucking in hot air.

try do a serarch, sk talks about the affect of power loss due to hot air

but i can't tell u how much "exactly" the box is going help

:angry:

Hi max,

Sorry im very much learning right now... is this comment in relation to when using an exposed pod filter? If so, can you or others post a little about your experience from before/after getting these CAI boxes?

Also...if i got one, would the stock bov still give a good sound as it does with exposed pod filter? Or would it be really quiet again as is the case with stock filter setup?

I have one in my car. I couldn't notice much of a difference in performance with before and after enclosing the pod but the noise only got a little quieter. So your BOV will be fine.

Yeah i wouldnt imagine there would be much of a performance diff... although you would think the piped air to the box would have to be superior (ie directly fed and cooler) to just having the pod exposed? Especially on warm days... Correct?

What did you have before you got the box?

Sorry i am quite new to all this, about to own my first car an r33 series 2.

Maxx, thanks for the quick reply.. might have to find a snorkel from somewhere. can anyone hook me up ?

Maxx - these still only available for Gtst/Gtt? Not R33 GTR's?

If not, I might still get one and modify it myself to fit 2 pods.

Thanks,

Christian

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
