Air Intake

[Brezza]

just go the K&N filter replacement for the box.

i put a set of Trust pods on my GTR and all i get now is worse fuel ecconomy, no extra power (if it is hot you can really feel that the car is not performing as well as it did with the stock air box) and the only benefit if you call it that, is a little bit of suction noise and a psssh noise on gear changes.

i am going to put my stock air box back in with the K&N filter that i washed not long ago. i didnt bother putting that oil on it as it can dirty the AFM's.

but one thing i did notice last time i took the pods off the car is that there was nothing stuck in the foam, whereas when i have taken out the K&N panel filter there are bugs and all sorts of dirt and gunk stuck in it on the correct side of the filter.

so it seems like its doing its job, which is to filter the air from bug guts and whatever else is floating around.

and for power, slightly less cold air vs more hot air = better power in most cases.

if i was to put a stock airbox in mine, i would have the snorkel fitted with an extra feed into the airbox from where the standard SMIC to throttle pipe comes through. Atm, i have a HKS pod with plastic heat shield that i have been meaning to modify with some heat resistant foam, with a cold air feed to the pod from the front bumper.
