standard airbox with holden cold air intake
ive used a Cold air intake (genuine holden) and a k&n panel filter
get VS s/c CAI with HI-FLO panel filter, to make the CAI fit right in your VN you can either just smash the bonnet down to make it fit in right or heat the edges then slam it so it fits right., make sure to remove the black rubber bits at the front of the bonnet cuz they block the CAI.
if you want a POD id say get a k&n one from ricerbahn and modify CAI to blow onto it so it sux in less hot engine bay air.
I have had a K&N Pod filter and then put a standard air box in with a K&N panel filter and SS induction and the SS induction is much better. You can tell the difference. Plus unless you have cold air being fed to the pod, its generally sucking in alot of hot air as well.
As for making the bonnet fit properly, on my SS induction the bonnet sits up at the front a little, but wouldnt logic suggest that feeds more air to the SS induction? Its not that noticeable that the bonnet sits a little higher?
If you're desperate for a pod then you should build a little box for it to go in and install a CAI and pipe that into the box. Otherwise you're going to end up sucking hot air through a pod, and that's not doing your power figures any favours.
I'm with the other guys though, a CAI and a K&N panel filter (or a finer filter if you live in a dusty place).
Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.
well my mate got a pod put into her lancer and it went from stock to almost exgaust sound i was just thinking of making the car sound like it had a bit of guts for now ?? dunno ? but i was going to go ss induction later on id like the details if anyone has them ? cheers

dont waste your money on ss inductions! its bloody rediculous how much those two bits of plastic cost...just get yourself a VS s/c CAI from holden for $50...its almost exactly the same but a fraction of the price.
Show me numbers and I'll beleive it, not that i doubt you at all. If I'd spent hundreds on a CAI I'd want it to work a miracle...Originally Posted by 1991_Vn2nV
My car now runs a Pod, 2 things with them they are at there best in colder less summer conditions,
When floored it sounds more V8 like deeper but i believe it's much louder when it first starts up. But it's great for take offs and gets the rears spinning faster i don't mind it at all.
I was thinking of getting some cheap bendable pipe and setting up something to, cheaper then a CAI.

cheers, mickah
I just saw this on a vn today http://www.aunger.com.au/hidden/item...522110958.html
Something different...
kilowatts are like drugs, the more you get, the more you want.
on my wagon ive got a vr cold air induction kit and a k & n filter which most of you guys run, does the job!
Agreed, they should change the name to SS wallet reductions and there slogan should be so much money for so little gain!Originally Posted by sircruisealotVS

does any1 wanna give their opinion on how the bonnet sits with the CAI? As i said earlier logically i woulda thought you would get more air just letting the bonnet sit how it does with the CAI rather than adjusting the CAI so the bonnet sits normally. With a slightly taller gap more air would be coming into the CAI right?
And it is barely noticeable unless you're looking at the bonnet from the side reasonably close.
that is the VS supercharged intake. lots of people have them on their VNs iincluding meOriginally Posted by str8up

can someone give me more details on the vs induction ? like where it is $50 for starters and any complications and what benifits i'll get from it just said bout the vyss cause it looks good lol

the vs CAI that has been spoken of is the one found on the factory supercharged v6's...
its $50 for the two pieces you'll need (you dont need the airbox, just modify your stock one) from holden or ebay has alot of them too.
its basically a classic over the radiator CAI which can fit vn-vs quite easily and when used in conjunction with a hi-flow air filter you'll notice the difference (i couldnt say exactly what kind of gain in Kw's you'd get).
none get a cai off a vs hsv or s/c and fit a panel filter... stuff the pods there for japsOriginally Posted by mr_l_commodore
