Feeding colder air would be a better proposition.. I find it hard to believe that an open pod in the engine bay will get colder air than from the stock snorkel..

It is around 1% for every 4 degrees I believe.. It would be better to try and find a cold source of air e.g. if you have a front mount, feed air from where the Side mount used to be.. or use something such as Maxxs where it sucks using the stock snorkel..

I don't understand how having a pod behind a headlight is going to get cold air fed to it.. That's my thoughts anyway..

You are all wrong.

Mad082 is correct.

Un shielded pod is better..

I might just ring up MINES factory and let them know that they should quickly bolt up a $40 MONZA pod filter to their R34 gtr which uses a stock air box with after market duct and filter at the moment.

Oh and get rid of the duct as it’s not necessary with the pod there.

This will give them more power and possibly a WHOLE second off their time at the time attack trials they do.

lol at the mines GTR and time attack trials. :wave:

Hardly related to street use/speeds + Its making up around 600bhp, clearly the stock air box isn't going to cut it at those power levels. :(

So stock airbox for sensible street power levels as I stated in a previous post.

well.. gee.. lets all go get carried away here.. lol..

I don't see how comparing a mines GT-R to street cars is really the best example.. how many times do you see the mines GT-R stuck in bumper to bumper traffic???..

Anyways.. Top Gear is on.. so i'm going to watch that!!..

I think you missed my point.

I made the reference to the mines gtr to show that even a car with around 600hp was still using a stock GTR airbox with their own enlarged intake snorkel.

This MAD082 guy is blabbering that a pod…. No an un-shielded pod is better than a pod filter in a box or partition which is better than a panel filter in the stock air box.

His reasoning is that it can suck in more air.. wether it’s hot or not does not matter cause it’s more air and the intercooler will fix the temp issue.

BULLSH*T

The fact is, lower temps means more power.

Before the cooler, after cooler, in the plenum.. whatever.

Cooler means more power is capable.

People on here have over 250rwkw in GTST’s or GTT’s with stock air box and intake snorkel and rubber duct from afm to turbo.

People have close to 300rwkw in gtr’s with stock air box and intake and rubber duct from afms to turbos.

I see no reason to replace the stock Nissan skyline air box unless you have over those sorts of rough figures.

And even if you do, the mines GTR factory air box MODDED with new CAI snorkel allowing enough air flow for 600hp is good enough, I’m sure you can do the same for your car.

R32 gtst’s have the duct in the bottom half, then the filter above it, and then the afm pipe on top of that.

Once you get a fmic, get some 3 inch PVC pipe and some bends, duct it from the front bar (in the duct where the stock smic opening is, drill a 3 inch hole under your factory air box and duct it up.

You will never run out of fresh cold air in your air box.

R33 gtst’s may have a little more difficulty as they have the intake on the top of the box, then the filter then the afm pipe under that.

So you would have to design another CAI to maybe pipe in to the other side of the air box (left side has factory snorkel).

I just think that a pod filter is not required for most people.

You want fully sick induction sound bro?, this post is not for you.

You want the performance without the look at me noise and hassles from cops for being illegal?, then put a hi flow panel filter in your stock box and maybe work out a new CAI to it.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
