G'day!

Just wondering if I could get some assistance for my next planned upgrade on my car...

So far I've got 3" turbo-back and a Greddy intercooler, I've also got a NISMO fuel pump that is yet to be fitted, and I'm going to be buying a VIPEC sometime in Janurary.. However, since my intercooler upgrade, by stock intake system has been somewhat 'truncated' and now isn't flowing that efficiently. I'm leaning towards a boxed pod, however, due to the fact I half live in the country, I've been told that dust and pods aren't really the best of mates. If I do go that way, I've read that K&N are the best filtering, and 3rd best for flow of many pod filters tested in Aus.. However, i've also been reading that ARC make some pretty nifty producted, and I'm particularly interested in the super-induction box.. Now is it a box for a pod or is it a replacement for the stock air-box??? Do they work well or not??

Also, what are the flow/filteration rates like on the SIA?? Also, are they legal here in WA??

Please, I'm asking anyone that has a super-induction box in their car to throw up some pix.. Also, any adivse on the pod setup is very welcome! :cheers:

Just need some pointers!

Thanks!

Mark.

I've got an ARC box but haven't fitted it up.. brackets don't make sense and I need to devise a way to get cool air to the TOP of the box :P

Looks like a nice bit of kit, basically it's a replacement airbox with a panel filter on top. Really needs a small scoop directly above it and some foam to seal to bonnet me thinks.

As Phemline said... I don't see why an induction box would be illegal if it is tightly secured.

flow and filtration should be good, I'd be more concerned about the temperature of the air going into it.

Technically all pods are supposed to be boxed and secured anyway. You shouldnt have an issue with legality.

pods do NOT have to be boxed only secured

Marco just get a K&N panel filter to go straight into your stock airbox

Well that is what I wanted to do in the first place.. However after I got my intercooler installed I noticed that the induction part to my airbox had to be taken off in order to fit the intercooler piping... Hence my airbox is sucking in hot air from the engine bay, as opposed to drawing in cool air from the front.. Hence the airbox has lost the greater part of its efficiency and it makes more sense looking for an alternative setup..

Hey Dukes, I heard you make a CAI for your pod setup... Any chance you could throw up a few pics??

Yep,

I had the same problem the stock snorkel wouldn't fit, so got a pod, but it looked like cop bait.

So i made a template out of cardboard, then marked and cut some sheet metal, then spray painted it, I used wrinkle paint to get a stock look, and got clarkrubber pinch weld for the edges.

I got some 1.6mm ally sheet and used the jigsaw to cut 2 strips out then bolted them from the afm/pod bolts back to the chassis, worked a treat and passed the pits fine.

I also had one of my cooler pipes cable tied back to the waterpipe that comes off the manifold, in an effort to keep the pipe off the fan when the bonnet closed.. also passed the pits fine :P

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
