    Question Home Made Pod Filter Housing

    Has anyone with a VN/P V6 constructed some sort of airbox or housing for a pod filter? I'm trying to make one and I need some ideas. Pictures would be appreciated.
    Cheers guys, Eddy

    Didnt search very hard since that thread is on the first page. Also, just buy a 2nd hand airbox from the wreckers for $10 lol. Im a genius.

    P.S. You wont get defected if its enclosed, which it is.

    Dont bother, just make a hole in the bottom of your airbox and drop a pipe!
    btw from Coventrys top part of the box is 30$, bottom is 20$ thats new

    Do something like this,you can buy the silicon hose adaptor and chrome pipe work from sprints etc are also sold on ebay for the buick v6.... Just cut to suit the angle and the pod screws on, you could weld a piece of metal to hold the pod to the chassis. Mine works fine and car doesn't overheat.Just the pod moves a bit on idle due to my engine and cam size.





    Cheers.

    But you can easily cost yourself 5 or 10 hp with a open pod, you can't afford to throw away that much power on a V6

    has to be better than my damaged otr setup,might make some kind of shroud later on or something looks the goods for now, but will be going for a tune in feb will find out the manifold temp and see if there is room for improvement.

    I am in the middle of a design for a 100mm flexi pipe FCAI. It will be connected to the hole in the front bar of my GTS. The design will only be usefull for a GTS or GRP A front bar, but I may end up making design plans for a VP SS Bezel or even VN SS Bezel. Thats if someone wants to sacrifice a Foglight for CAI, may look a bit silly.

    vn ss bezel? they just had holes cut in an exec front bar for foglights and look dodgy when the foglight is removed
