Hey guys ..

Just put a new pod on my car, Seems to be getting more air (sounds like the filter is going to suck itself in) but a feel like its less powerful .. For the people reading its an Apexi Power intake..

The only real way to tell is to put the box back on but im to lazy to do that..

Can someone tell me im imagining it or its for real?

Also I need to link a cold air intake to the pod .. with the stock bar its pretty much impossable .. any idea on a way to get some hosing in there?

Currently using the stock intake funnel from the air box (im running no CAI presently) CAI will go on soon though .. just looking for a alternative to stock feed (im imaging its restricting air flow? fill me in tho!)

Well I can feel the power loss when I wack my silencer in! But from what ive heard thats about 20kws .. rumour ..

Maybe im just crazy hey?! Maybe in not dragging the gears out enough. ill give it a thrash tonight on the freeway ..

thanks for raising a good point .. seems im losing it

It came with an airbox for a reason.

Does it idle a little rough? Got heat-soak? CAI will help, but a box around the pod with feed/s will be optimum if you want to keep the pod. I'm assuming you only use the pod because it sounds tuff? Otherwise, just get a high-flow panel.

Well I put my cai on and yes it works alot better I noticed on longer drives to work the heat soak would kill the power and dumping it in second felt like dumping it in 3rd.. not kewl

CAI on and induction is actually louder but im using the stock feed from the original air box .. seems to work well and cant see a reason to do a direct feed.. when I get a new kit ill direct feed to the "GTR look like gap" that will be formed and meshed which should increase flow conciderably.

cheers for the help

Shouldnt you reset your ECU when a pod is placed on? As you have changed the air volume being sucked into the car, the ecu needs to reprogram it self for the more air.

Try resetting your ecu, by disconnecting battery.

Hope that helps

well mate ur definetely sucking in hot air from the engine...

id definetely recommend puttin in a box for it

as for the air ducting, if u have put in a front mount intercooler then u would have a hole from the standard side mount for the hose

You're imagining it.

I dont think he's imagining it. His just sucking in hot air from the engine bay which is creating heat soaking hence lower power!!! nothing beats the stock air box!!! you want some induction sound get a fmic.

Hahaa i got an apexi in the 34... and mann it sounds and feels great

I think the best way to fix this heat soak prob is to box it up and have the stock feed still there going into the box... but i wish there was another way of getting another intake pipe to come from under the pod but there aint much space is there? any ideas? pics?
