Pod Filter Box

[SKYS2]

what product would be good that wouldnt absorb heat , to make some kind of box or cylindrical housing for my pod filter , so no heat attacks it and so its more of a cai .

im thinking of running piping from the front to the pod , for more cooler air .

what products are heat resistant? cheers

[mad082]

you can buy proper heat sheilding materials. most exhaust shops would be able to help you out. some stuff if pretty expensive.

yeah i see that lol , been looking around . i want to make a home made one , sad to cover the pod up though , i bought a real nice trust airinx one the other day . worth the money i can hear stock bov heaps louder now too.

but yeah im looking into finding something to cover it up. do you know wheather they are illegal to have ? .

[mad082]

only illegal if they don't have a solid mounting bracket. but that is in qld.

in some states you are only allowed 1 intake mod, so either a cooler or a pod, not both.

[SKYS2]

what state you in man , but if the pods hidden you could get away with it , but half the cars on the road these days have both

i will be making my own custom box 2nite, i'll post pics in the next day or 2, im using plastic so it looks legit/neat rather than sheet metal

[burnsie]

unifilter has them

[SKYS2]

yeah pics would be good , im interested in getting one made asap - would be nice to have a good example to go by , thanks

Aluminium is not a very good conductor of heat and easy to work with.

got mine done last night, i think its 2 or 3mm thick pvc plastic sheet, used a heat gun to do the bends and plastic welded 1 corner. also put a pipe from a vent in my 400R front bar into the box for cold air, still gota paint it place so it looks legit(less hastles from cops), heres a pic i took off my fone, hope it helps

i live in geelong, cops aint as smart as melbourne 1's, most of em would think skylines had v8's in them, plus u can just about roll them on other mods.

just get an extra bit of pipe and hook ur pod filter under ur bumper (cut a hole to put the pipe through) - the extra 30cm of pipe makes up for the very cool air that is pretty much unrestricted.

or if u going to build a box - use something that is corrogated between two sheets of metal - it will have a poor heat conductivity compared to something that is solid.. and paint the outside of the box white or chrome.
