i went from an apexi pod to a noname highflow element in a stock box and i couldnt be happier. defect free, no noticeable seat of the pants difference in performance, is boxed off from the hot ambient under bonnet temperatures and has a built-in air duct.

im sure a pod with a proper partition and cold air duct would perform marginally better, but street cars aren't chasing 2 or 3kw's and if you havent got that you'd only be sucking in more hot air anyways.

The Mine's Response R34 GT-R uses the stock airbox with an upgraded panel filter. Although they may have changed the piping from the airbox, I think it still says something for the virtues of airboxes over the current pod-craze.

LW.

i'm running a apexi pod with a custom airbox/partition.   did notice difference on circuit as performance panel filter left car slightly breathless vs the pod.  tradeoff is day to day i guess, particularly in summer.  i'll live with it :)

Do you have pics of your custom airbox and partition.

I brought an Apexi pod yesterday. Put on just for a test with no partition. Noticed it got more boost at around 5500, normally the boost is full at 5000 rpm and holds. But with the pod filter it kept on boosting a little more. I just want to partition and box it now

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
