hey just wondering

pod filters...are they completely illegal

or only when not cased properly??

i found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...52BSI%26otn%3D4

and wondering...will the rta pass that at an inspection?

i need to get my car reinspected...wondering...will they pass that if it had a pod inside??

or will i have to get a stock?

also are exhaust silencers legal?? if so...how must they be mounted to make them so.

thanks

pods gotta be completely enclosed, then engineered.

that box would prob pass at a pink slip but from my experience, if its not back to stock, or engineered, RTA inspection wont pass it.

and silencers which can adjust the noise or emissions, are not allowed. but it depends how well you want it done

ie the electronic silencers are pretty subtle, i have a butterfly valve after my cat and i went through the same thing you are without a problem :(. just make sure its not obvious.....im sure you can think of a few things....

Yeah, sounds about right - i have a similar style box enclosing my pod (r32 gtst not engineered) but havent had any trouble, as it is very subtle like the one on ebay.

Very small chance of getting defected for it if you are pulled over. I've been pulled over for an RBT, had the car looked at by HWP and it has never been defected.

An engineer ive spoken to has basically said to me the ADRs involving air filter enclosures are bs, and he'll pass anything as long as it looks fully enclosed.

Depends who pulls you up.

EPA can still ping you for increased induction noise. Whether or not you get done for it: who knows.

Outa sight outa mind. Play nice and they mightn't get you. I got done for a BOV, "not enough rubber on foot pedals" and no h-pattern. They missed the friggin massive 4" HKS filter stickin out the front but!!!!!!!

I use a sliencer on my GTR, it restircts power but I dont mind as only going to work and back..

Mine is like a "butt plug" LOL, you just put it at the end of the exhaust and bolt in and makes a 3inch hole into a 1inch hole. Had to drill a little hole in the side of my exhaust cause they need to be bolted in, Or will fall out when accelarating

It does keep the police at bay I think, cause they dont notice you as much...But it's really up to the cop that pulls you over for what he wants to defect you for..most are cool about it cause you're atleast trying to the right thing :)

Pods are illegal... I was speaking to a friend who I used to work GD's with who know does HWP. Even if it is engineered it still doesn't comply with the ADR's.... Just hide it well enough and most police won't even know what it is or what it does :-)

And those silencers are brilliant.... First time I saw Brad and Jess's (SINFUL) GTR I thought it sounded soft as, until the silencer was off, I then felt very very stupid...

pods are used in newer falcons of some sorts. They're just enclosed. Has to do with induction noise as to if they're legal or not. Just making the point that: they aren't completely illegal. You pass EPA and engineers certificate... and it's legal.

Police wanna say otherwise; they're making it up. I've been defected for things that engineers say are nto in ADR at all; but if you go to blue slip it, you get headaches. If you have the paperwork, money and time; you can take it to court, if not... you change it and pass it.... then change it back.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
