air pod on throttle body?!
hi guys i have a mate that has put hes pod filter straight onto hes throttle body. he insists its a good idea. also a few other people have said its no biggy. is this safe as i think its a stupid idea, it would be constant HOT AIR INTAKE. am i wrong??
no your not wrong mate. common sense it is.
This has been covered heaps, and the general concensus is that it provides no improvment at all, in some, if not most, it will make the car lose power due to the intake temp of the air. Better to stick with CAI's as they provide air at a lower temperature which in turn burns better which equals more power. There is a thread here somewhere were someone lost times over the quarter mile from going to a pod filter vs enclosed...

i new i was right, wat a d**k.
where is the love for the comm's lol
cheerz guys
That, and where would he be running the associated air sensors? That's probably more concerning than if it's running straight at the throttle body and sucking in hot air. Bad.Originally Posted by IDO-360

probly a vn /vp that doesnt have a sensor there. and yes it will get him negative performance tbh.

ill agree with that run some plumbing pipe down to the mouth of your front bumper then chuck one on even then there still gay they only belong on turbos
Rick =]
Pods are pretty good, IF there enclosed or out of the engine bay.... Otherwise its a complete fail and waste of money
just punch your mate in the throat
If its got Wheels or Boobs its gonna cost ya money

Why do people still go on about pod filters sucking in hot air. Yeah I can see what your trying to get at with the hot air but think about this. Your pipe to throttle body. Does it get warm? Yes? Then its's emitting radiant heat into your motor. Is the intake plenum hot? Yes? Then it is also emitting radiant heat into the motor. So in theory this "hot air" the pod is recieving will be no different to the air the car is getting any way the only difference is the fact the pod isn't enclosed in a sealed box. Also do you think that the pod filter will be recieving hot air while driving? No because of the air going past the front of the car cooling it down. Just look what happens when you over heat, you keep going it stays relatively cool, you stop and it heats up. All about air flow. Sitting at the lights you might be sucking in this "hot air" but who needs power to idle.

its called COLD AIR INTAKE your theory makes some sense but wen idleing it sucks no matter what and in a hot day driving still heats the car with hot air intake?

well put wraith..

Do you know what radiant heat is? Air gets heated up by the objects around it eg; hot manifold. Why do you think MACE make intake insulators? To get more money? Doubt it. They have recognised that excess heat does come from the manifold itself somewhat and have made a solution to reduce the problem.
3800cc
i understand. but if for eg you are at a speed of 100 and accellerating the faster the intake the colder yeh?? and the less time to heat up?

Obviously what's your point? A pod = filter right out in the open to catch the air. Standard box = Panel filter all enclosed up in a box with a snorkel trying to get as much air as it can in a smaller pick up area. The only thing stopping me from putting one on mine is the fact the way I have my stock airbox is a section cut out where the factory snorkel was and it whistles when cold.

would also like to add why didnt holden manufacture it straght off the throttle body then. and having the pod off the throttle body there will be no forced intake.
3800cc
its been prooven on the 1/4 mile.... loss of power. how bout go test your theory out there on the track if you insist. forced intake RIGHT!!

Holden have to make a car that every one likes. Not every one likes the induction sound of a motor. How is it not forced intake air is still getting pushed into the filter and there is zero restriction.

An ecu can only adjust so much for the amount of air coming in without a proper tune.

i for one am on wraiths side,

i aint worried about induction sound i keep mine stock standard.. it just doesnt sum up to me mate. also why do they keep making forced intake products? also having the pod off the throttle body is not forced intake at all!

my car runs a pod filter, stock airbox car reached a final top speed of 165km, with a pod filter it was almost a 20km increase car reached a final top speed of 182km. but my car is not a holden, and its na

A N/A car can only take in so much air. Which one do you think will allow the most air? An open filter or enclosed filter? I have found quicker throttle response when putting a pod on but as said before I prefer the cut up airbox because it whistles when cold and I like fooling people into beleiving I have a turbo VR. Yeah I am a toss woopie do I do it for me not any one else.
