VP Pod Air Filter

[TVR-190]

while looking on carsales i saw a few VP's with pod filters installed, what advantage is there in having one as i am considering buying 1 for my lexcen.

no CAI

Sucking hot air in the engine bay,
Enclose the pod into the corner an plumb a 110mm corrigated flexi pipe to it from behind ur bumper! problem solved.

Advantage: sounds like it has asthma
Disadvantage: breathes like it has asthma, and sucks in stacks of hot air, making your car slower.

Similar to immortrality's setup?

So all in all the message is PODs r SUCK, Look at mortons CAI Pipe from his front bar and do the same.

[CANYONERO]

you get about a 200RicerWKW gain with a pod.

yep its the only way to run a pod properly with advantages.

immortality's POD CAI FTW ^____^

[STEALTHY™]

As said, thats the only way to run a pod. But the gains are only the same as that of a normal CAI.

Personally i like stock, so i have factory holden CAI/Airbox with a panel filter.

[TVR-190]

ok, i frankly dont mind the look of the pod filter, ill consider it but its probably easier for me to just buy a new stock filter

[Morton]

Nothing wrong with the stock filter on a V6 Nothing at all.

Difference between K&N panel and POD =

Panel flows like 460 CFM or so
POD flows 650ish CFM
SO the pod flows more but that can suck in the hot air too so gotta be 100% shielded

aslong as u fit the K&N sticker its + 200killa wasps...

who cares about intake temps... thats what intercoolers are for :P

thats a fairly irresponsible comment. firstly you would only use a intercooler for FI setup so intake temps do matter on n/a applications. secondly, no IC setup is 100% efficient unless you have one with a ice cooler in the boot so starting with a nice cool air source will also benefit a FI engine

im another one with inclosed pod and 4inch ducting from front bar works great .sometimes run a performance panel filter in the old box with the ducting tightly fitted into the bottom and ive rivited a flap of rubber over the old snorkel hole so it doesnt presurise when going fast but sucks against the hole and stops hot air entering when going slow.the reason i put the flap on was to stop any hot air getting in and because the pressure from driving made tuning the thing for WOT hopeless

IMO its best but of course not practical to run no filter at all, lol its scary to think without a filter and with some serious bad luck you could have an object almost the size of a tennis ball go up your pipe through the airbox straight into the throttle body lol

get boost then. problem solved

[immortality]

get boost then. problem solved

even if i had a FI setup i'd still run some sort of CAI to it
