Can A Pod Filter Be Fitted To A N/a R33

[BsR33]

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]

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.

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

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....

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 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

IMO a pod is waste on a non turbo car. Get a decent quality panel filter.

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.

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.

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

if you attatch a pod filter to a 33. Your engine will blow up and you will die.

32's are fine

Yep, happened on my last R33.

It's only a matter of time.

BAHAHAHHAA!

33's with pod filter = TOO MUCH AWESOMENESS!

Yes should have explained self better, was thinking of a Pod inside a custom airbox

Thanks, was just asking as these things are so underpowered, not that I want it going to hard for my leaner daughter.

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.

Thats what I was thinking, Thanks

Thanks, can close this now.

i'd be worried if it didn't.....

[PM-R33]

Yeah my Veyron feels a bit quicker than my push bike, think i might change the gearing or something on the bike.
