lol no shit aye... and full stops man, you ever heard of em?

[ELMOHASA33]

yeh sorry.

i thought thought this was skylines australia automotive website not punctuation queens incorperated my bad.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

man that was hard to read. had to make myself want to read it. we're quite slack here at SAU so making things easier to read and understand will get you a response. otherwise you will usually get rubbish..lol

so you have a pod and want to know if there is any other partitions that dont suck hot engine bay air, but you have made one that works for you and was wondering if people wanna buy the setup you made?

[ELMOHASA33]

yeh thanks i posted that last night at bout 11:30 iwas obviosly tired ....

i will make it simple.

1 do you guys no how much power your loosing running a pod filter with no air box.

2 do you know of any companys making air boxs or cold air kits for r33s.

3 would anyone be interested in a cold air box that fitts a pod.

[3LGODZILA]

ok so your saying a pod thats not enclosed performs worse then a stock air box.

does an enclosed pod perform better or the same as a factory air box ?

[ELMOHASA33]

a pod in an inclosed air box with good cold air supply performs better than the standard filter ..

as most skylines in australia are sold with a pod filter already fitted most people dont realise that even a standard airbox gives better power than a pod sucking hot air ......

at least this is what ive found on my car.

like ive said i made a custom air box that fitts a pod filter fully inclosed with cold air pickup i still have the moulds so i can make more if any ones intrested

[Munkyb0y]

you should probably show us what your airbox looks like, and tell us how much you are thinking of charging for it.

most people here, can make, or have already made their own airbox. others have bought one. but if yours looks incredible, and is selling at a good price, you might be onto something.

thats quite sexy. details please!

[JSTA33]

there is a thread on here about this stuff, like how to push cold air into the box..

on your front bar you can connect a pipe that goes from one of the holes right up under the chassis and into the air box, (where the hole is for the piping for the fmic).. that way when the car is going, your always getting cold air.

[ELMOHASA33]

yeh thanx for the pics mine exactly the same but has a clear top i gave up on this thread cause i didnt whant to pull my car apart to photo the bottom half of the box.

is that one fully inclosed?

also where abouts in the blue montians are you?

[Munkyb0y]

hahaha oh man .... you gave up on this thread coz it was too much trouble? it was your thread!!!

what kind of airbox supplier would you have turned out to be?

sheeeeeeeeeeesh

[ELMOHASA33]

hey monkey boy the fact is that all the air boxs ive seen are not boxs but partitions i just thought it would be obvious that a fully inclosed box would be much better also im no air box supplier if someone was interested i would have made two or three but thats about it but seen as your so keen to knock me i will finish what i started....

the real reson i started this thread was just to see what other peoples ideas were and if anyone else had this problem

so what have you done with your 33 "partition & pod filter" like every one else !

[Basti]

we dont have partitions. ther reason people are posting in this thread is because you were suggesting that you would be producing a fully enclosed box for possible sale on here. turns out you are just a box-tease.

[ELMOHASA33]

i can sell these boxs but so far ive only had fuct coments not one person said "id be interested" or i would be making more right now give me ten min to pull mine out and i will have the pics up

[Munkyb0y]

hahah calm down man

fark

we asked you to show us the box, so we could see the quality and look etc.

because ive seen ppl try and sell crap on here for large amounts of money before.

and my airbox is very nice thanks. its a single piece of perspex, cut and shaped to snuggly fit the space around the pod.

its not sealed at the bottom, but then why would it be? thats another avenue for cold air to get in.

and it gets its air from a 3 inch tube running from the front bar into the box, from underneath. non of this snorkel bullshit.

btw, the snorkel does not see direct airflow coz its blocked by the bonnet, therefore the air needs to be sucked in to get into the box. so you need a 100% sealed box to use this method, like the standard filter box.

and after all that trouble, you still dont have as much cool air coming in, compared to an open 3 inch tube, not to mention that the snorkel may interfere with your aftermarket intercooler piping.
