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.

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

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?

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

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
