pod filter in actory vl airbox?
tryed researching this topic but really carnt find much so im starting to think this is just to hard but if its possible would be nice.
and i know the answers ill get saying theres no point and that a better panel filter will just be as afective but i got a pod ilter for free (brand new)
and apparently they sound quite nice and i got some free time on my hands so why not.
and i do not want to put any kind of heat shield around it want to make it look stock....Thanks for the read and any info would be much appreciated.
ditch the box and just bolt a pod up to intake
yer but with my luck ill get pulled over....but is that my only option is the airbox to small? or other complications?
The airbox is way too small for your generic sca, monza k&n style pod filter. Sell the filter and grab a k&n panel filter.
Makes the same sound and performs better.
They may fit in a vt airbox. But then your past the free threshold.
being in the air box will be no difrence in hp....
not sure on the legalities of a pod these days but i think you used to have them boxed off and mounted with a bracket?
im not even sure if im allowed a cold air intake far as i know anything that gains power for p plate drivers are not allowed. not giving us young drivers much choices these days :<

It's up to the discretion of the officer what it needs. Some are happy with bracing some with covers. Way it works unfortunately.
Welcome to the internet where people have opinions that you might not like
sorry but what is bracing it?
Not having it just attached to the air intake pipe and having move around, just a bracket to hold it still.

See that metal support bracket. Dodgy but that's what we are talking about.

bush mechanic style..... that looks poo
u would extend it deeper in behind the light and make a neat brace
haha yer agreed with detox there. i only just read robbers post then if i could get my hands on a vt air box could this be of any beneficial from replaicing it since they are bigger and i guessed a bit moer curveyer for flow or this does not matter even the slightest?
Mate it's like pissing into the wind. Your trying to make a n/a go faster it ain't gona happen. Save your money service it put a 5spd behind it and enjoy

second that bow...
start getting parts together for a turbo conversion, like all vl owners do, join the CULT uleh
enjoy
yer but im already wanting more power and i got a long time be4 im allowed to go turbo.
and i already have a manual but say if i did end up going down the turbo path can the 5spd withstand the power from a nice turbo setup?
thanks for the replys

I put a pod filter in my S13 just for the wank factor lol, sounded alright but doesnt do much to an NA 1.8, but mine was sitting there & rubbing against my bay so I built an L shaped bracket, looked like |_ from the side, |___| from the front, and the bottom screwed into the bay, & the back screwed between the pod manifold thing & the box the afm plugs into, so it didn't move at all. Cops pulled me over heaps of times and never mentioned the fact it wasn't in a box or anything, but I eventually cut a piece of spare metal to cover the top of it. Didn't look neat but was a deterrant for cops who wanted to be douches.

i reckon ill have a problem with having a pod even if i had a box because new p plate laws in SA i carnt find any info from google about what exactly i can have tho :/
look on the transport sa website for light vehicle modifications

its not even a performance mod...
i know some states u can only have 1 air mod as in not a pod and inter-cooler. one or the other.....
cop will get u for anything especially if your a smartass. so get a pod and b done with it :P
I could drive a brand new ve out from holdens and if a cop wanted to he could defect it

Do 1 of three things
clean your original filter, blow it out with compressed air
buy a K&n panel filter
Buy a pod kit from mace as bow down pictured.
Also with the gearbox, if you are going to turbo it, put a turbo manual box in instead of a n/a one. that way you wont have to change it again.
