I have just installed an Apexi Super Suction with super intake air filer to my stagea. To fit I had to take the radiator overflow catch tank out, and have a temperary one for now. Have other people had the same problem? Does anyone know what I could replace it with. I measured 3/4L that it needs so I need to find a small one that can fit somewhere .

What have other people done/used?

I will have to enclose the POD at some stage for more cooler air.

You shoulda just bought the rampod by itself. It just bolts omto your airflow meter. I have one. I'm gonna buy a carbonfibre box for it to sit in.

You can easily make one yourself. Use cardboard to stencil it first, then get hold of some 3-5mm alluminum and cut and bent to shape. To join the lid to the sides (and sides to body) you can use L-brackets with a bolt and threaded hole.

PS: You only need to make 2 sides and this could be done out of one alluminum piece. The other 2 side are formed by the car body.

Note: A pre-fabricated air box my not be suitable, as they are designed for one type of air pod, thus you may have to modifiy it to fit. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY CARBIN FIBRE.

(Unable to take better pictures as my car is currently at the paint shop)

I think will look at buying a smaller plastic overflow tank from nissan first, if not then i'll do what Al said and make a custom one.

Also I am going to swap my air intake snorkel and replace it with a GTR one as it is wider and closer to the front and edge of engine bay so it will be right near my air filter. Ill have pics in a few weeks.

I love that duct. I'm trying to do a section in the standard duct at the monent.....

Are you using your standard duct anymore?? Can I borrow/buy it from you?

I need a prototype to play with.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
