Hey guys

I've put a new pod filter in my skyline due to the piping of the FMIC

anyway it's making shitloads of boost sound even at 2000rpm

is there a way I can control that like buy a boost controller or something???

I really have no idea about forced induction stuff

so if any1 has a pic of where they installed their boost controller that'll be much appreciated

Thanks

I've actually got the airbox, the brand is the netami gold pod filter

there is a hole where the old SMIC piping was,

of which I connected a tube for air intake under the front bar

it makes less noise with the air box but still quite annoyiny when all I want is to drive it normally

the standard airbox can be modified but I'd have to cut a large chunk out of the air intake

which will render it to be not very efficient

When you gota pod filter on, it will make that sucking noise. Its what a pod does.

No point putting a boost controller in to lower the boost on your stock turbo. (BTW Your turbo is stock right?)

I like have the sucking noise with my car, sounds great!

What material is it made from? paper? cotton? steel?

If you want to keep the pod - get one that is paper or cotton - that will quiten it down.

else

fit the stock air box up with a paper or highflow panel filter.

i know what you could be going through, i just took the pod filter of my v8 ute and put the the big airbox with over the radiator surround intake (mouth) because the sound of the induction noise on the pod (paper filter) was very loud, even idleing...

but the HKS pod pn (foam pod filter) my r33, the induction noise gets louder when you are comming onto boost, i do like the induction noise it gives, a deep howling noise...

The induction sound is air sucked through the pod AND the compressor turbine spinning and compressing that air, which was previously muffled with the stock airbox + filter. It's normal (and sounds sahweet) as you come on boost from around 2000RPM+.

haha @ GTST.

There is no way of getting rid of the induction noise with the pod, even if you box it. You'd need some thick heat insulation in there to make quieten it down, but even then I'd highly doubt it'd get rid of the noise like a stock air box.

Pod induction noise, you either love it or hate it. Or just learn to live with it.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
