pod on throttle body

eXi7w0unD · 19-02-2007, 05:17 PM

any 1 tried this on an au a pod filter connected to the throttlebody? if seen it done on a el, but the bonnet scoop wasnt very attractive.

How would the maf work if you had a pod on the TB?

eXi7w0unD · 19-02-2007, 05:28 PM

it just does, whats a maf.

on a 6cyl, the MAF isnt before the throttle body, like on a V8.

AU2PWR · 19-02-2007, 05:31 PM

You Mean , Like a Shaker , but a Really Riced up one ?

MAF Sensor might be a Bit out ...

For Starters , I Wouldnt do this , but .. Id Use a K&N instead of a Cheap DRIFT One ..

This is a POINTLESS place to put the Filter , the Bottom of it sits 1" from the Top of the Rocker Cover , and it would get STUPIDLY hot .. Raising the Air Temp of the Air Flowing in and Doing the Job no justice ...

All this CAI is Touch and Go , Some people Try stuff , it works for them , But , Others Like to Stick with the Rest ...

I Retrofitted an Airbox out of a F6 (cheers Gaz AU1XLS) into my car , Still using the K&N High Flow Filter and the Tickford Snorkle . To me , It Felt a bit more responsive and has an induction noise that sounds awesome. The Small Leg bit from the Top of the Airbox , to the Hose to the Throttle body was changed to a 3" Hose all the way from Throttle Body to Box so Instead of Air Coming through 2" to 2.5' to 3' , its 3' All the Way .

The Query About Mine is that For it to Fit , The Bottom section needed a bit of.. er .. Plastic Surgery HAHA , And it Lost 35% of it on the Curvey Bit towards the Headlight ... So there is a 8cm * 7cm Hole on the Bottom and a 5 *5 Hole at the Front where the F6's have that Extra Rubber Intake .

But For Me , It Sounds Awesome , Does a little better thant the old Airbox did.

Enough Said , Dont Do it !

Eu-GenixX · 19-02-2007, 11:24 PM

the whole idea does seem a bit daft...

the idea is to get cooler air into the intake.. not super heating it using the top of the engine...

Ruger · 19-02-2007, 11:36 PM

1) the plenum on bbm manifolds is too small to begin with so the long intake pipe helps that
2) it would sent IAT temps through the roof. not what you want at all.

you would get a nice induction note

ive seen falcon 6's run with open throttle body no filter or pipe and they only every go slower.

exactly what i thought.
spend a bit of money and get yourself an ss induction kit, or make your own using a tickford snorkel, and some 3inch piping, then put a pod in the box...

StealthAu · 20-02-2007, 01:57 PM

Ofcourse I'm here to dissagree. The setup above is stupid but if you have a heat shield under it and have it added by some sort of sccop I can see it working well.

sfr rob · 20-02-2007, 02:06 PM

ss inductions are a load of crap, and in some cases restrict the Air intake even more...
Do the BA airbox mod, like i have done as well... IT DOES make a difference.

even if you do have a heat shield under it, its still going 2 heat the heat shield caz it on top of the motor. yea a scoop will induct cold air, but the engine will heat it up. if you have a look at any well prepared car, the induction, filter and heat shield is goin to be as far away from the engine as possible...
next time you go for a drive, pop your bonnet and place your hand on top of the rocker cover and tell me if you can hold it there for more then a few second...

how are they a load of crap? i think they may work well, with there theroy of ramming more air into the air box. its just they are 2 over priced...

AU2PWR · 20-02-2007, 02:14 PM

For the Money you pay for an SS Inductions Snorkle , you could of bought a Tickford/BA One , Filter , and had Change for the same affect

StealthAu · 20-02-2007, 02:24 PM

I still think my plan of attack would have a greater out come

AU2PWR · 20-02-2007, 02:38 PM

Dude , Trial and error , If it Works , Congrats , But if it doesnt , dont be too upset ,

Fingers Crossed for you ,

StealthAu · 20-02-2007, 02:45 PM

Induction wise its great. I'm on 20 odd acres and had a bonnet off test run over the weekend. My only possible problem is space. I may have to go a hornet scoop or something. I've meassured it several times,and it seems fine but I'm still concerned when it comes to the crunch it will sit too high

AU2PWR · 20-02-2007, 04:46 PM

yeah , thats all fine and Well , but with the Bonnet off , you have LOTS of Air Going everywhere , when its on , its an Enclosed Space ,

Heat and Flow is all id be worrying about with the bonnet on

StealthAu · 20-02-2007, 05:02 PM

Yeah but the air cleaner is going to be boxed into the shaker sitting through the bonnet making it impossible to draw hot air from the engine bay. The only heat issue I'd have to worry about is the induction pipe running above the rocker cover heating up whilst car is running but stationary. But I have about an inch clearance which will be halved with a heAT shield

poolkeeper · 20-02-2007, 05:46 PM

intake warz lol

What , so the Pipe will heat up and the air will stay cold ... Im Trying to be helpfull dude , it wont improve anything .. why do you think they come stock with the Pipe running away from the Enqine bay ? Its Becuase of millions of dollars of R&D tell them its the Coldest points of the Engine ,

but , Have a Go , Do a Pre Dyno Run and fit it , Re Dyno it , and let us know ,

I have an SS Induction kit on my car, works very well......

It may be overpriced but it is a big improvement over the standard...Big increase in the size of the intake (I can fit my whole arm down the intake pipe).

Looking at what we spend on our vehicles I don't see an SS Induction as a massive outlay (I paid just over $240 for the full kit).

I wouldn't call them a load of crap........Just overpriced (Like alot of car mods!!)

Yep

: lol. My idea was when it isnt full throttle, the air gets forced out and runs along side the airbox (cooling it)

I have one too, mine was on it when I bought the car. Same here, can almost reach into the airbox through the snorkel, if i put my hand over it and someone revs the car it will suck my hand in no matter how hard i try to stop it.

I'm looking to sell it and go with a BA pod setup (cosmetic reasons only, I dont believe it will make SFA difference), so if somebody wants my old setup, let me know. It would be airbox + snorkel + BMC filter.

SS Inductions arent that bad , but $200+ is a Bit Far from Overpriced , its one hellova expensive bit of Plastic

You do get the aluminium deflector as well, that's got to make it worh $200+... lol
