I have an ARC airbox on my R32 GTR... Does the job but miss the induction note I used to get on m other cars. If I go to HKS pods and filters do you get an induction sound? If I do this I will be fabricating a shield around them to duct in the cold air etc as I realise the ARC is doing a good job.

Also foam or mesh .. different induction note?

Or maybe this is bollox and will sound the same.. lol

Anyone?

:flamer: Not all at once! I'm a newbie :Oops:

switching to a pod will give u a louder induction sound, hks foam filters work pretty well for this. Using a shield around them, might negate this though. most people don't bother with ducting as it wont really effect intake temps/airflow a whole heap.

(sorry, couldn't resist, your sig bought it on....)

i jus fittend an Apexi Pod on my S15.. get the induction sound as well as a lil Pshhhh lol... However with the HKS or TRUST Pods u will get a massive inductiuon sound as well as flutter- Pstttt chu chu chu... But with the mushroom filters it filters a less than the others...

Regardless of noise, check this out

May be of interest.

very interesting article.... *adds to bookmarks*

i find that my K&N has quite a loud induction sound for a turbo car....... its either that or my turbo is reaaaaaaaaaaaaly ****ed.... but anyways its loud ... :aroused:

good luck

yeah, but with non-turbo, u dont get flutter!!

If i can be bothered, i'll record a sound file while sitting in car with my mp3 player

Thats because flutter is caused by the air going back into the turbo fins from the bov. Hence y u dont get flutter on atmo bovs either

i had the hks pod on my car which was loud and sounded mad, only problem was i didnt like the thin foam it had as it was being sucked in over time onto th afm ( when i had that still) so that worried me a bit and alot of guys i know have had the same...i changed it for a K&N and thats no "as" loud but louder than i thought for a K&N, plus i dont worry about the pod elements breaking off and going into the turbo

ben...

yes K&N = probably the best pod you can buy. very good filtering, long service life, good flow. having said that i must not be following my own advice as I have apexi pods on 2 of my cars (and all three I put on there).

Alot of people go with the K&N pods, and its a quality brand, there just a fair bit quieter than, mine for example. Its just a cheap branded one, DRIFT or something, but its insanely loud.. Still trying to decide if i like it or not. Oh and the K&N pods that some people choose, are just downright ugly :P

i reckon the stock air intake is as good with a panel filter when the car is making less than 300 awkws. im using a HKS one and it does make a little bit of noise.

keep myself trouble free...

were you previous cars n/a? having a turbo in the way really quietens down the induction noise compared to other cars.

I didnt know u get a loud indcution sound of an NA skyline? I always thought that it was the turbo the increased the loudness?

Edited by shorty_01

People are talking about 2 different types of induciton sound here - On most turbo cars, the induction sound people talk about is the sound of the turbo.... not really induction noise, but its on the induction side so i guess it counts.

Proper induction noise sounds awesome. Go for a ride in an NA car with multiple throttle bodies and you'll hear it for sure... The vtec honda's have a lot of induction noise for a standard car... when the cam timing changes on them, they really scream.

The only turbo car i've heard with loud induction noise was i think leroy(?)'s R33 GTR video at autosalon where it made 600rwkw or so. When they loaded it up on the dyno out of its boost threshold.. mmmmmmmmmm

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
