Cold Air Feed?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i'v got an r33gts-t and currently have the standard air box with no snorkle as the fmic pipe doesnt allow it to go on. I was looking into getting a pod filter and maybe have a cold air feed??? Whats the best thing to do and is there a certain filter i should go with?

Any help would be great!

Cheers James

I just have a pod filter inside of a custom aluminium box that I made with insulation padding on the inside of it.

On a forced induction car it aint a HUGE deal having no cold air intake if you have a decent front mount. Obviously it aint going to hurt though.

Do my intake setup IF you don't have a return flow cooler. Stock airbox (hacked up air feed to fit over cooler pipe. Put a hole in the bottom/side of the airbox. Put a duct from the airbox down through unused stock intercooler hole into front bar. Attach pod to the end of it. I have my guard liner in there too so cops can't see I have it so it's "legal" lol. Best way by far to do it. An you have 2 intakes :)

hey mate, which part of the bottom side of the air box did you cut out? Can you draw a rough pic or take a pic of your air box for us?Cheers

I can try take pics mate. But it's in the car in a way that you can't tell it's there. I'll take a pic from the inside of the airbox and post it up tonight/tomorrow

save all the hassles with a 2 inlet mod restrictions and cut the snorkle around your intercooler pipe. at least you wont get any heat soke with a pod...

I just marked out the snorkle ovel the pipe and used a jigsaw then glued on some "Bunnings house flashing" (like soft alluminum)..

pic below. very easy and near stock....

mind you i did have to reglue it at the rear as I was impatient and installed it while wet...fixed now though

Regards,

dazza

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
