loudest pod?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Just pull one of your headlights off...or cut one of the headlights lights out like u see on those drag cars

[pushead]

lol, and be sure to get pulled over by the TOG's in no time

[Guest RedLineGTR]

well dunno but what if u have a hole in one and thier are still two headlights on but i guess they would do u for the fact that u cant put your high beams on in a "danagerous" situation...lalalaal

hi, sorry to hijack, but have a question on the HKS pods....

what are the differences between the foam colours of the HKS pods...i have a red, but there are also green and yellow...is it size difference??

[skylineakt]

Cut a airscoop/vent into your bonnet above the air filter !! That's is what i'm thinking of doing hehe

I don't have the standard CAI and there is no bloody room to run a pipe out with the standard I/C piping there

[nismoman18]

i was thinking of a vent in the bonnet above the pod filter as well, however the main problem then is water getting into ur engine bay and if driving ur induction system! would need to have like a drainage system or like a vent cover so in the rain u can drive, but no cold air

I've got a green HKS foam type pod. The induction noise it makes is loud and sounds way cool. It starts sucking at about 2500rpm and on gear change makes the factory BOV sound pretty damn loud to.

[Ouch]

Yeah, I got a yellow foam HKS pod. I'm quite sure its louder than the stock BOV til max boost past 4500 rpm.

Yikes, the filtration results of that pod comparison is quite disturbing though.....

[MADGT4]

Ok heres one for ya, I SWEAR my HKS foam is purple, but i can't hear any sucking noise at all not as good as my mates 33 its awesome!

just hink 33's make a huge sucking sound over the 32's

[JimX]

I wouldnt know which one is the loudest, but heres a comparison somebody did between different filters. Apexi was the best

I have an Apexi pod, but I found that unless you're using a cold air partition, the HKS gives you noticably more power. I *think* this is because it faces more to the front and has more of a face to the incoming cold air, whereas the Apexi pod can suck in hot air from the sides. But when I put the box in, the power was pretty much the same for both (I couldn't tell the difference anyway).

If you didn't want a cold air box/partition, I would probably prefer the HKS filter or another one of a similar shape. Although then you have to worry about the particle filtration, which was my main concern when choosing the Apexi pod.

I've recently smashed my HKS green filter into the concrete while driving so i was forced to buy a replacement K&N. Does anyone know what the BLITZ one's are like from Autobarn? Are these the one's ppl are talking about?

[predator]

I've got a Blitz SUS LM on mine, and yup, its friggin loud. You can hear it sucking, even when slightly cruising. With the window down its probably the loudest thing you can hear in my car! Its kinda cool, and annoying at others - but its staying on.

[justinfox]

So if a cop pulls any of you over, and pops your bonnet, and sees a pod/s they will defect you right?

I had a large K&N pod on my old car (Alfa Romeo) but it was on the end of a pipe which I had custom made to sit down very low away from the engine and close (but not too close so that it sucked up water from puddles in the rain) to the road. And the cops would never have found it because you couldn't see it but damn could you hear it!!!!!!

I want to install duel pods in my RB26 but I don't want to get defected!

[pushead]

from what i heard, a pod is ok IF IT IS PAPER ELEMENT and not foam or oil base. I have changed mine now to the apexi power intake because of defects.

[SXCSKY]

Hey guys

I have te green HKS Pod...and i was wondering can i change the filter to a different brand ?....coz i saw the results posted and i dont like wat i see of HKS

Any suggestions?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Best Bet are get a photo of it possbily and post it in the for sale section (parts) and most likly some one will buy it u just have to figure out a price to sell it...how much u ask?? i have no idea. I have found that people have still been buying them, so all i can say good luck.

Cheers Rob

Also those tests are with a high concentration of particles and toxins, and it never gets that bad on "normal" roads, but to stop the really microscopic particles u can’t use foam at all. Best bets are for a Mesh type filter wet or dry, out of the tests I would go for the apexi one but i personally want one that i can clean nothing is clear forever and will eventually restrict flow, I myself have a k&n filter with the light oil it has and the Mesh type filter I’m pretty sure its doing a good job (I don’t believe 100% those test u don’t know if they are new etc). My 2 Cents.

[trbo32]

For those running the Blitz Sus LM are there any temp problems and how often do you clean them, if at all?

I'm thinking of buying one, but i can't find the Stainlees steel one. Only the..er..non stainles steel. hehe

The review, earlier, shows that it does not filter that well. Has anybody had any filtration problems while using a Pod?

I currently have a K&N panel filter in my standard air box. You can hear the induction noise from the inside and a slight BOV sound, but it's not that loud. If the radio is on all you hear is the exchaust......and the radio of course!! :wassup:

[cameron]

were've used both blitz sus and K & N pods , the blitz is way louder by far.

i think that the k&n is restrictive because it has thicker material to compared to the blitz sus pod.

you can get the blitz from; www.mercurymotorsport.com.au/default.html

[Guest RedLineGTR]

personally i would keep the setup that u have unless u setup a cold air partition then the pod will be pointless in theory...also leaving the stock box in with a high flow filter as the K&N one you wont get defected as for a pod.
