Mk3 Pod/Induction Set Ups.

$15 from bunnings will do it...

For the Stainless plate Branko?

It's only cable tied to the arch side for support at the moment, looking at buying some stainless to make up a box though.

I now run a K&N pod. I absolutely love the gnarl it gets about 3200rpm and under load. It's only cable tied to the arch side for support at the moment, looking at buying some stainless to make up a box though.

Noise alone is worth it

Does anyoe have the part number of the K&N Panel filter for a stock airbox?

Yeah its a real gutral growl. I <3 it.

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

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!!!!

[MattyT]

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

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.

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?

I like the pod and ram inlet pipe on this Honda

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

awesome post, and a good read.

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.
