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.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
