MAXX....

Ive got a 1997 Stagea wagon, based on the 1997 series 2 R33. Im here in Adelaide. Ive noticed a few ppl with Stagea's have enquired about the CAI.

These CAI's look wicked.... so, my quesry is, would you consider making up the CAI box to suit Stagea's? You could use my car to make the template up if you wish.

How well do these CAI boxes keep engine heat away from the POD filter?

I've just put a Blitz pod filter on my NA R33 and may need to order one of these depending on how badly I notice power loss by pod sucking in hot air.

try do a serarch, sk talks about the affect of power loss due to hot air

but i can't tell u how much "exactly" the box is going help

:angry:

Hi max,

Sorry im very much learning right now... is this comment in relation to when using an exposed pod filter? If so, can you or others post a little about your experience from before/after getting these CAI boxes?

Also...if i got one, would the stock bov still give a good sound as it does with exposed pod filter? Or would it be really quiet again as is the case with stock filter setup?

I have one in my car. I couldn't notice much of a difference in performance with before and after enclosing the pod but the noise only got a little quieter. So your BOV will be fine.

Yeah i wouldnt imagine there would be much of a performance diff... although you would think the piped air to the box would have to be superior (ie directly fed and cooler) to just having the pod exposed? Especially on warm days... Correct?

What did you have before you got the box?

Sorry i am quite new to all this, about to own my first car an r33 series 2.

Maxx, thanks for the quick reply.. might have to find a snorkel from somewhere. can anyone hook me up ?

Maxx - these still only available for Gtst/Gtt? Not R33 GTR's?

If not, I might still get one and modify it myself to fit 2 pods.

Thanks,

Christian

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
