pod filter

how do u install 1 without hot air getting sucked in the engine?

COLD AIR INTAKE TO SUIT HOLDEN VN-VP V6 - MACE ENGINEERING GROUP

Or you could make one, but you could get into trouble if it's dodgy and the coppers are in a bad mood.

[SMURFTEC.]

you build a box and put it in it or the equivalent

do podfilters make ur engine sound better or different?

[Denso]

pod filters do nothing and are a waste of money.

[wraith]

Cut a bigger hole in the bottom of your airbox. Problem solved.

[Denso]

unless ur running to4's and ported heads, a pod filter will do nothing but make u look like a rice burner if ur looking for performance without spending big buks just replace evrything thats perishable like leads, plugs, fuel filters, oil filter, oil, if its auto get a auto gearbox service kit..... cause upgrades like a pod filter on a stock car are just a waste of money, trust me i used to do it! ......when i owned a 84 mazda 323 LOL

only if you want to be fully sick! srsly their a waste of $$$, over the raidator CAI and K&N pannel filter are the best way to get cold air into the engine cheap.

Super 6 intake = heat soak.

mine feels pretty cool at the back at opperating temp when driving on free way. they would be a heat soak in the city.

pod filter boxed and cai feed from under the gaurd is better than any other setup dont use K&N pods they flow less than a K&N panel filter use wildcat or SCA brand

How hot does a radiator get? Heats got to go some where. It radiates out. Would much rather a bigger hole in air box then bit of plastic over a hot radiator. Also have you seen where it's located. I fail to see it getting much air to be honest. Also agree with pod filter. Cheaper ones do actually work the best.

They get plenty of air on VN/VP, much more than a VR VS

I have an alminimu pipe going from my air box to the engine and it keeps a bit coolet than the engine, the whole pipe and air intake only get hot in stop start trafic.

[vnwpn2]

what about if i make a custom box to fit it in?

[creesy]

I made a cust pipe with a pod that goes down into the bar, bit of mucking around but I haven't had any problems with it seems quite cool

Don't go near any big puddles.

The only place for a pod filter is the bin.

Just go a vs s/c c.a.i

I reckon the air flow through a setup over the top of radiator is fairly high so not much heat is going to get into the air anyway and the bit that does will do bugger all. There's likely to be more heat coming off the engine and exhaust heating up the air filter enclosure in the engine bay and the inlet manifold heats up as well so at some point the air is going to get hot before it goes into the cylinders.

[Denso]

think bout this for a sec, cold air intakes dont make the air "cold" they just take air from outside the engine bay which is usually like 28 degrees anyway. once it goes through the filter is gets to the intake pipe, then it runs past ur "hot" throttlebody, then through ur plenum which has "hot coolant" running through it, then it runs into the "hot" head then past the "hot" valve then into the extreamly "hot" cylinder.. they make bugger all difference because once the air has passed through all of that its hot b4 it is compressed. cold air can sometimes even hinder performance.

How the hell does cold air hinder performance.

Yes, your right, the air would heat up slowly during the course of its adventure. But it would be much better if the air temperature started at 25c, instead of 50-60c.

As well as that, the air is flowing so fast anyway, that it has SFA time to heat up.

[Denso]

cold air, if too cold reduces the rate of fuel atomization. which means it wont burn the fuel as efficiently. just like if you try to evaporate water in a fridge. it wont happen. and yeh i see what ur saying, that it would be better to start it at 25dc, but it really isnt going to do anything to a stock car. cold air intake's are usually used to keep compressor wheels cooler than what it would be without one.

[crazybiker]

Maybe at what -20c?


-=EDIT=-

Here, I just ran a quick analysis in the engine analyzer

Results at 4c:
Torque was 245ft/lb @ 4000. Averaging 216ft/lb
Horsepower was 211hp @5200. Averaging 140hp

Results at 25c:
Torque was 233ft/lb @ 3600. Averaging 207ft/lb
Horsepower was 202hp @ 5200. Averaging 134hp

Results at 50c:
Torque was 223ft/lb at @3600. Averaging 200ft/lb
Horsepower was 195hp @ 5200. Averaging 129hp

engine analyzer? LOL u gotta be shittin me... id take those figures with a grain of salt
yes air is more dense at lower temps but you cant take those figures as hard evidence.
