Pod Filter Super Loud!

[R33Matt]

Hey,

This may be nothing but just wondering... My brother bought a R33 skyline yesterday and it drives really well! The only thing that was a bit annoying was the POD filter. Was so loud! Alot louder than any POD filters that i have had.

So we took the K&N air pod off today and put on a 3a Racing POD. The sound now is super loud! Even from behind the car I can only hear the airpod and not the exhaust! lol, cant believe how loud the POD is. Was just wondering if there is a reason for this, or if its just normal?

Also his stock boost gauge is nearly hitting the 7+, which is 14psi! lol, the guy said it was set to 7psi but he doesnt have a aftermarket boost gauge. The boost controller is a GFB controller i think. Are the stock gauges normally out by this much?

Thanks

hey they not sure about you pod noise problem,

however the stock boost gauge is in BAR and its actually 0.7 which is about 10 PSI, perfectly safe for stock turbo

your pod noise could just be a high flowed turbo and the type of dump pipe on the car, i know my spool noise got a hell of a lot louder when i put on the X-Force dump pipe and then louder again with the pod... just guessing thou

I thought the stock gauge is in kg/cm2 isnt it? I think 7 was stock.. but I cant remember. Thats cool that the pod is so loud might be aftermarket turbo?

A box to make it legal will minimise noise, an apexi pod will also quiet it down.

+7 is one bar so half way would be around 7 psi maybe a little less. Edited with the truth!!!

I always thought the stock gauge reads in mmhg?

Becasue 7 mmhg = 14psi.

And if your on Stock boost, the guage should read around 3.5, which is 7psi

Can anyone confirm this please?

Cheers

Its millimeter's of mercury (mmHg) x100

+7 on the gauge should be around 13.535psi

+1 as above.

looks like your running more than 10psi.

+7 looked it up, your right +7 is a bar! 14 odd psi!

Maybe the sucker is actuating hahahahaha or you have a leak in a hose near the actuator? God only knows but i wouldnt expect it to as loud as you describe it.

Cheers Guys!

Yeah looks like the boost is running hell high! Unless the stock gauge is out by heaps! Gonna hook up a aftermarket boost gauge 2moro and check it out.

Still not sure why the POD is super LOUD! lol, but it doesnt seem to be a problem so wont worry about it for now...

because pods are loud on skylines. If you want silence, hook up a standard airbox again if its possible.

[davib]

careful

ur pod might suck in ur custom made box LOL!

but skylines turbo spooling setup is by far the best !

love the sound,

I changed from my pod back to a stock airbox and it got rid of all the induction noise but you also totally lose the ppppsssssshhhhhhhttttttt
