Couldnt resist

Sorry to post hijack, but i was in the shed and had an idea.

could somehting like this work ?



could you modify your stock airbox to house a pod ?. Just by eyeing it out, it looks like it could be done with only a few mods. (smaller pod would help aswell)

I made it happen. Read my verdict.



I am still not convinced a shielded pod makes much of a difference useless Force Induction is involved.

Someone has said to me once "why bother with heat shield? When the car is running along, hot air is naturally pushed out anyways". I am sure this is open up for debate.

Nevertheless, a Cold air intake does follow a logic and does have an appeal.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

awesome post, and a good read.

I like the pod and ram inlet pipe on this Honda

thats (MAF) less tune suposed to be alot betta but fuel gose down the drain the idea is to have as little restrictions as possible to allow max air flow and swerll.

So youré saying ist good or bad?

[Mrk_Mickey]

I think he's saying it's good, but only if you want to burn up much more fuel than normal.

I reckon it would be pointless to do a MAFless setup unless you were working the engine. If the engine was normal and you wanted a sspiced up induction, keep your MAF and swiss cheese your airbox with a new panel filter or go for an enclosed pod/CAI.

Ah neat!!! another one to the CDA gang, and in WA too

[dc10]

it took me a while to find one. when i looked at the price of them locally, it was pretty expensive. and my jeans with the bottomless pockets were in the wash.
ebay uk ---> relatives in N. Ireland ---> then they posted out to me, worked out cheapest at the time.
i had a pod setup before. an aluminium plate with heat reflector+foam stuck to the motor side helped keep the heat out to some extent but not a lot.

CDA ftw!!!!

and there is a distinct growl to the CDA setup that you dont seem to get with a pod or swissbox i reckon. a much more throaty or agressive noise without sounding like a vs commowhore with extractors and some piping imitating a v8 as best it can
