pods give or take

[WILD VR CLUBBY]

i wanna know if a pod givs or takes power had it on once noticed nothin realy but i just changed evry thing the other day wanna know if i should stick the pod on or keep it off

Unless you have an efficient cold air supply to the pod, it will mostly suck in hot air to the engine bay operating tempretures etc, this results in a loss of power. Pod filters on turbo setups are appropriate since in most applications the air is intercooled.

on a n/a commodore the holden cai is great imo...

i got a stock cai but i took it off coz i wanted to see what the difference is between that and a pod coz every one was sayin go the pod made no difference except to the wank factor (rice **** lol)

well you could box the pod and give it ample flow but for that you may as well just swap for a hiflow [ k+n or unifilter ] panel filter.

yeah i had a pod and changed it to a CAI with pannel filter and i think it works better(cant say for sure cause no dyno proof). Also i saw a commie with this setup and he had his CAI and airbox covered in Turbo heat wrap the silver stuff like alfoil, dunno how much it does but looks good

that would just keep the air a tad cooler

 

[BANGERS88]

yeah i supose every little bit helps, looked good nice and neat, that stuff is expensive though for a square meter i was quoted $63(i didnt take him up on that one).

 

[WILD VR CLUBBY]

63 bucks for aprox a one kw gain omg

 

[BANGERS88]

thats what i thought better way of spending $63 like on :drink:
