i just tried on a friend's hks pod filter on my car.. usually have stock air box with apexi panel filter..

with the hiflow turbo.. i can hear the turbo very loud when its spooling up.. but as soon as i put the pod on.. i can barely hear my turbo at all

like.. i can't even hear the pod suction noise.. all i can hear is my exhaust and nothing else..

the pod is very loud on my friend's r34 with his stock turbo so we didn't understand why at all..

any opinions on this ??

That's weird.... very weird... as I got a Apexi Pod on my car and you can hear the engine much more louder with the BOV spooling even more aggressively... did you plug the Pod straight into your air meter without any thing in between? With the Pod, it sounds awesome.... absolutely breath-taking... check your hoses and wires also...

After posting my previous response to you, I went out to my car and lifted up the engine bay to have a look for ya...

You gotta check how you have bolted on the Pod... there's actually 2 ways you can do this...

1. Bolt the pod directly (with an adaptor of course) to your airflow meter.

2. Drill a whole through your intercooler and pipe the pod to that.

The second way, is a no no... tell me how your pod looks like... take a picture of your engine bay and I will see if I can help you further. We'll talk again soon... btw, what's the brand of your Pod again... oh 1 more thing, make sure there are no wholes or air-exit gaps in your pod... this can be bad for your engine too.

it was put on as an experiment.. like me and my friend just thought.. how will my car sound if i have his pod on..

its an HKS pod with adapter bolted directly to the afm... secured by 4 bolts... it was put in the same way as he had on his car.. so i am sure there's no mistakes there.

well.. when we put it back into his car.. it was all fine and loud... on his but not mine. car has the stock airbox back on now, i am fine with the stock airbox really.. i can hear my turbo spooling loud enough in cabin .. don't really want to through the hassle of getting the pod to make the sound. was just curious as to why it didn't make that sound.. just got in my head and thought something might be wrong with my car or something.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
