Airbox for big single turbo (R33)

Hi Guys.

I am going a big single turbo on my R33 GTR but I want to keep induction noise down.

Does anybody know of any aftermarket airboxes for the R33 (bar the ARC one) that can be made to work with a big single,
perhaps even if somebody has made something from carbon.

The closest thing I can find that can probably be adapted to work is a R33 GTS-T ARC One, but I don't know how well they flow and never seen anybody
running a big single turbo with it.

I was thinking of getting my fabricator to make one from scratch that has a big 3 or 4" hole near the headlight area but don't know fo any Panel filter that will flow for about 500rwhp setup I was thinking getting one fabricated to suit FG XR6T panel filter but apparently their stock intakes are only good for around 400hp
Was also considering getting something fabricated to use R33 GTR size panel filter, but again unsure how it can flow around 500hp

Failing to find a panel filter capable of the job I was also thinking a big pod hidden inside a custom made airbox

I appreciate any suggestions perhaps if something low production exists out there.  I'm not to keen on the CAI sheet metal enclosures.

Cheers.

Just get 2x panel filters that are about 75% of the ones you are considering and sit them side by side in the custom made jobbie.  Instant 150% capacity of the XR6 or R33GTR panels.....no stress.

Having said that....it's hardly the pleated paper element that is the restriction to flow in factory filters boxes.  It's the openings into and out of the box, plus the convoluted crappy pipework and narrow cold air inlets etc etc.  Just making shit bigger is an instant win.

Interesting thanks for the ideas guys.   Yes I would put like a big 3" round or 4" round inlet on my custom made airbox just always wondered what the upper limits of the R33 GTR Air filter element were or XR6T one i guess it might be the go guys.

 

iruvyouskyrine How was the intake noise like with your ARC Box?

Yes contemplating whether to custom made something or just modify a RB25DET ARC Box.

It was decently loud, nothing crazy. Good in cabin noise but that was in a car with nothing behind the dash pad so would be less muffled. From memory it didn't make any more power running a pod compared to the ARC airbox

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
