Hey all I own a stocky R33 which will soon have a turbo back exhaust fitted after new years and my question is as simple as the title. Is a pod safe to use if combined with a airbox like the ones sold on this website?? Would a panel filter be more of a worthwhile investment as it uses the standard box?? And lastly in regards to panel filters do they create any type of induction noise when the underlining of the stock airbox is taken off?? Im guessing the spooling noise will increase with the turboback zorst so maybe that will increase the induction noise some what maybe??? These are my assumptions. so yeh any opinions or personal experiences you would like to share with this would be great. I was given a GFB stealth fx bov for xmas but after reading up on bov's im looking for other more efficient ways of getting induction noise as i dont plan on getting an aftermarket ecu to fit a bov and i dont want my car running shite.

BTW hope all you guys are enjoying the xmas break :)

Hey man, you will get good induction noise with any filter replacement, if you want to do a panel, cut the top out of the airbox lid, gets heaps more air in, and as for the bov, i have a stealthfx on mine and if you wind it back 4-5 clicks from max it goes awesome, 3 clicks and you blow flames at gearchanges, anything else you need pm me

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
