Quick intake question.

[impulsive]

if you want something thats custom and may work, try replacing the intake pipe to something like stainless, getting one made up myself. all that does is remove the ridges in the intake pipe and smoothes it out. if you really want to get creative, relocate the coolant overfill container, and cut a hole in the guard, and mount a pod down there. is away from engine bay heat, and combined with some cool stainless intake pipework made up, would look pretty sweet polished or black under the hood. you would probably notice more power with a setup similar than buying any cai, and may be cheaper.

Act like it's your ideA rich, i Asked him to make me one years ago... Haha. And you won't notice any gains, it's purely cosmetic, I'm sure tuned however may make a noticeable effect

Yeah you're fairly well on the ball with the whole pod issue.
Maf's are a restriction in the intake, you can tune the PCM to use the MAP sensor and the IAT to calculate the fuel needed without the MAF.
So, that's why they get rid of it. Justs makes **** easier.

The technical way of saying it... Thanks soop, I've found a use for you Ha ha.. I just dint know the correct name of the sensors and correct abbreviations

never said it was my idea dave. just a suggestion. and u never told me about the pod in the guard, that was my own thinking.

the only reason i would suggest a pod is to remove the restriction of the box, the extra length of pipe would be to correct turbulence created by the pod, as mace has already stated in another thread. until mafless tunes come out, if they ever do, i dont think altering the air intake would make huge gains. example, b added a pod on his tuned sv6 and achieved a 14.3 1/4 mile time. whether the pod had anything to do with it being that low of a time or not, no one will ever know.

.3 of a second faster then the factory claimed time could come down to different conditions lol.

Pods don't make cars faster, they help if you've little room to work with. But you can acheive the same thing with a bigger panel filter and custom airbox if you have the room.

WOw rich, I didn't realise you were soo sensitive.. :/ it was a Joke man lol... As 4 b's car... He didn't Add a pod he was running a pod when he ran 14.3

The airbox isn't a restriction either it's a legality, even pods have to have an enclosure

 

[soop]

yeah its not the most major restriction but it could always be better.

Best bet would be to make a sheet metal airbox with a Pajero style airfilter in it. They're like a foot square. Massive filters.
Lots of airflow and less turbulance because the air is disturbed less. IMO anyway.

different hoes for different bros IMO

cant you also pour water into air intake to cool the plenum down aswell.. heard it can add atleast 15kw per litre
