BsR33 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Would like to know if a pod filter can be fitted to a N/A R33 or what is the best bang for buck intake setup.

SHANE666 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I would go for a high flow panel filter from K&N or Apexi. You can buy the K&N filter from Autobarn and the Apexi one most i think some traders on the forum sell. In terms of the pod filter, again I would go for a K&N or Apexi. Depending on which state you're in, not sure if this would be a defect modification for you. Studies have shown the Apexi produces most power with the best filtration with the K&N coming in second best.

The Bogan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 A pod will suck hot air from the engine bay if you dont have a shroud for it and some form of cold air intake. Go the quality panel filter Hot air = fail Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302951-can-a-pod-filter-be-fitted-to-a-na-r33/#findComment-5022271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
99 GTT Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Pod filters are a waste of time and don't gain any real performance over a high quality panel filter in stock airbox. You just need to look at the Mines R34 GTR or any Mines car for that matter he uses panel in stock air box. Go the k&N panel....

{Oo{34}oO} Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 4 an N/A +1 on keeping the stock airbox with a hi flo panel filter... really not worth it unless ur after hektic induction noise lol, u will need it fully encolsed, CAI, it fully mounted etc 2 much effort lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302951-can-a-pod-filter-be-fitted-to-a-na-r33/#findComment-5024405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoCents Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I went with the Apexi power intake and decided to make my own heatsheild, still not finished the sheild gotta make it look nice. Cost me about $30 to make it, makes a big difference if its shielded or not Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302951-can-a-pod-filter-be-fitted-to-a-na-r33/#findComment-5031304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ben Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 IMO a pod is waste on a non turbo car. Get a decent quality panel filter. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302951-can-a-pod-filter-be-fitted-to-a-na-r33/#findComment-5038322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KezR33 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 4 an N/A +1 on keeping the stock airbox with a hi flo panel filter... really not worth it unless ur after hektic induction noise lol, u will need it fully encolsed, CAI, it fully mounted etc 2 much effort lol I honestly don't hear any noise difference on an NA motor. Unless the hood is open and I'm sticking my head in to a get good look, I can't hear it. On a turbo set up, it's pretty obvious.

mad082 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 on some NA cars it's very obvious though. i have had a pod on 3 6 cylinder cars (falcon, commodore and magna) and the falcon and magna it made a massive difference to the intake noise (sounded throaty) but the commodore it didn't do a thing.

AYW550 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 my pod makes a pretty notable difference in sound on my NEO motor, mostly not till you go over 5 thou tho, i quite like the induction noise Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302951-can-a-pod-filter-be-fitted-to-a-na-r33/#findComment-5039385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS4WD Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 if you attatch a pod filter to a 33.

Just feels so slow compared to my 400rwkw+ BA Turbo. Will just go with a K&N Panel Filter and look into improving the exhaust.

PM-R33 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Yeah my Veyron feels a bit quicker than my push bike, think i might change the gearing or something on the bike.
