I just installed a Trust Airinx on the weekend, and right now I'm considering taking it off. Does anyone else have one? It has to be the loudest piece of **** I've put in my car. Are they supposed to sound like an extra loud vacuum cleaner on intake and a horse when you let go of the throttle? I expected a little bit of extra noise, but this is ridiculous.

I was going to record a sample of it and put the MP3 of it up, but I just thought I'd check first. Maybe I've screwed up the installation.

I'm going to make an insulated box to go around it quiten it a bit (and hopefully only let in cold air). Will this make much of a difference?

As an aside, anyone who reckons a pod filter is a good substitute for the BOV noise is kidding themselves. It sounds terrible, nothing like the clean tccchhh sound of a BOV.

Cheers,

Michael

Yes it is supposed to be loud and if you get that "Horse" sound then your bov is not working efficiently enough.

Trust make a good filter but unfortunately it always comes last in filter tests with k&n first and HKS,blitz and apexi in close succsession.

If you have the option to get rid of it and get the apexi then do it.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Boostmeister:

The whole reason I bought it was based on a magazine comparison. It had equal best filtration and the best performance. I'll have to find the mag it was in.

Now, about the BOV not working efficiently enough, I've got the stock one. I thought that was good for a fair bit above the stock power. I don't think I'm too much above stock power levels, in fact I'm still running 7 psi boost. I used to have a Blitz atmo one in series with the stock BOV, but that went when I put the FMIC on. So do you think my stocker is faulty? I'll replace it anyway as I miss my BOV noise :)

I'll have a look for you. No promises though. It was a pretty good article actually. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought the pod on their recommendation. I reckon that since it's as loud as it is, it has to have good airflow (ie good performance) but the filtration would be down. The article didn't agree with that though, as it said it had good filtration.

I also think that it would be good if there was only one company that evaluated all the performance parts.

Yeah I'll check them out. The article I read may have even been from there. Not sure though.

I remember one thing the article said though, the reason they liked the Trust was because it was a dry filter, which meant it wouldn't foul the AFM with oil like many of the other ones can do.

Black33,

The article I read said it filtered very well, and since it was a dry filter, it wouldn't get oil on your AFM. It certainly isn't a BAD filter. I think all the filters mentioned are all the best of the best, so it isn't like you're tying a handkerchief over the inlet pipe or anything.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
