Hi guys,

I'm currently in two minds at the moment, i've got pod filters on my car but i'm unsure whether it would be a good idea to just have a custom/off the shelf airbox fitted with the pods... Or just go with the ARC airbox.

I like the "standard" look and i don't care about induction noises etc, i'm just after the best option in regards to performance and the steathier look.

My eventual power goal would be around the 350awkw mark, so future planning also needs to be taken into consideration.

I'm a brand new ownder of a R33 GTR, so excuse my noobness and voice your opinions!! :P

Cheers,

Steven

if you have the coin id go the arc airbox but the best cheap and very effective option just make the intake to the box larger and duct it to a dry cool place at the front of the car..

i personally have twin pods with a custom carbon heatshield/box

Upgrade the pannel filter to a high flow one. K&N Filter, for example.

I don't think there is much difference (Pods / airbox) until you start running higher boost and getting into the heavier modifcations.

If you want more stealth look = Upgrade the pannel filter + you should have the air vent / scoop feeding air to it.

I suggest you try looking for replacement filters for those ARC airboxes before buying one? Apparently they are hen's teeth to find.

I've got 256rwkw on stock airbox, (many) extra holes in the airbox only gave 3rwkw extra on the dyno. Stock is as stealth as it gets :bunny:

Further to feeding it an extra inlet, the other thing they do to mod the stock airbox is pull out the material glued to the inside of the airbox, and sand away the honeycomb looking stuff from the same area.

Arc airbox filters are not that hard to get and I have even been told there are k&nb ones that will fit though I cant remember/find the part numbers

Have a ARC box I might sell if your interested pm

Had to replace with pods due to Z33 AFM upgrade you should take tat into consideration too

if looking to get more power soon as the only other alternative is the nismo AFM
