How Much Can A Factory R33 Gtst Airbox Hande?

[Rav3nNZ]

Sorry if this has been asked before but ive just had enough of my HKS mushroom filter, just way too noisy on standard turbo.

So ive gone and bought a 2nd hand factory airbox and a Greddy highflow filter, waay more response but flat out seems a little less. maybe need to reset ecu??? will do tonight anyway.

Now my mate said if i upgrade the turbo or want anymore power i NEED a pod and cant have standard airbox.

Is this true?

Ive heard the GTR factorys can handle 300kw or so but dont no about the gtst's

Its a series II 40th anniversary and im running 13psi, have full turboback exhaust and wanting to do alot more.

Any help is appreciated thanks

standard airbox in a 33 will handle 240rwkw, easy. mine did with a modified snorkel for the airbox with a wider mouth on it and a wider neck where it entered the airbox

Ok cool, i am hoping to make a bit more than that tho to be honest, if i was to say put my pod back on and get a cold air box from say justjap and get a snorkle going to the bumper under the light would it be as quiet as my factory airbox?

Also is it just my standard turbo thats why its so loud? you no what i mean right its just a really loud shhhhhhh rather than that nice whistle.

Like if i was to get another turbo like i plan to would it sound the same?? just as loud?

Sorry if im not explaining myself well but surely you know what i mean the factory series 2 turbo through a pod sounds shit for normal off boost driving. well not shit just gets reeally annoying

No pod filter in an aftermarket airbox will be as quite as the stock setup. The fact the stock one is a plastic closed in airbox with a panel filter is why it is so quite.

Also the stock turbo is not loud, any aftermarket turbo will be a hell of a lot louder (through a pod filter I mean).

Oh ok, yeh by loud i guess i mean a more annoying loud if you know what i mean and it was pretty loud dnt no how loud yours is, like it sounds like its boosting its ass off an your not even really on boost.

maybe its because the factory is a paper wheel its that different kind of sound compared to the metal wheels on other turbos

other turbos just seem to sound so much nicer being a loud whistling air rush as apposed to just an airy sound.

oh well thanks guys i think ill stick to it while ive got this turbo an when i upgrade my turbo ill just have to go pod with airbox from justjap.

I hear masterpower are coming out with an rb specific turbo now like the garret kits.

270 kw stock air box not modfied and the difference without was 2kw

Ah ok yep fair enough. Yeah steel wheel turbos sound a lot nicer than the stock one.
