Pod Filter in a Ae101 20v

[4AGE 8U]

if u want induction noises u can always take the factory pendulum(i cant spell) off and get some tuned length trumpets made and bolt it on, im not sure how u would be able to do it on the silvertops because of AFM's but on my blacktop the induction noise is cronikly loud, it makes the b16a's with pod filters sound like pussies

I think you want to revise your comment in regards to tuned length intake runners. Unless you suck from a common plenum then you can't have any reversion pulse tuning hence no tuned length.
Your also guarinteed to loose horsepower with that 4 individual throttle setup.

In regards to the blacktop being superior to the silvertop. It is and it isn't. In standard trim it is, modified you can't beat the silvertop. Alan Buttler gets 193bhp at the wheels in a NA silvertop developed by Lynn Rodgers. That's in a rally style motor with a good spread of torque. I don't think thats possible with the blacktop.

Also don't forget you are comparing a modified Blacktop to a standard Silvertop. My NA Bluetop would take down your Blacktop any day of any week.

do these repco heat shields show any improvement in the hot weather/at all? i

ve got a 20Silvertop and the pod mod was great but you really do notice the drop in performance in summer or when its hot. any advice appreciated

They wont help that much when the car is stationary, they're only a sheild not a sealed air box. But i guess any sort of sheild has to be better than nothing and with all repco stores having 25% of everything from this friday until sunday you can pick one up for about $26

[Sanxta]

yeah, sounds alrite ill prolly head in you can't complain at that price aye . . .

I've owned 2 silvertops and i can honestly say they are crap compared to blacktops. My engine has been lightly modified by the previous owner with the likes of new cams, air filter & exhaust and i dont have any problems with my lighter internals . In fact they make the engine rev better/freely in comparison to the dirty old silvertop. The guy i bought my car of had an ae101 as a rally car, he'd spent $20K on the engine and said his street ae111 was better.
And as for Mr G Tech man take your car to a drag proper drag strip and show me the real time, I guess we'll have to arrange a race then so i can beat you

what makes u think the black top is so much better

there is not that much diffrance between them

light internals ,map sensor, lightend fly wheel

and not that much diffrance in power or torque

i know its better in standard form but if u spent 20k on a silver top and it was not as good if not better than a prity much standard black top u wouldent be to happy would ya

what 0 - 100 times can u get

ive got 8.55 s out of my ae 82 a few times and its standard

and ive raced my mates ae 111 and its not that much quicker on the road neith with my mates ae 101 corolla

Yeah sweet keen to c you do that! Um incase your short or long sighted or something i've done a 15.0 at masterton drag strip - says so right there in my signature - funnily enough i put the faster time as being a g-tec run with more mods since the time done at masterton so you can get an idea that i'm going faster but haven't had a chance to prove it on the strip yet! So then now you've laid down the challenge bring your car to the 4 and rotor jamboree down here in wellington this month and lay down some times! Better yet i'l organise a grudge race! Then we shall see if it is actually as fast as you claim it to be seeing as claims is all you have at the moment not an actual time so i suggest you take your own advice

take your car to a drag proper drag strip and show me the real time

Sorry if this bores any one but i get a little pissed off when people don't read things properly and make silly comments!

dONT TAKE THOSE GTEC THINGS AS GOSPEL.
There faily accurate on the strip as the strip is dead flat but youll never find a dead flat piece of road in nz.
What my mate does is, find the flattest piece of road he can and do a run using the gtec in both directions then find the average eta.

[Loudtoy]

I know not to take them as gospel! But having said that i was running 15.1's on the g-tec before i did the work to my car and then ran a 14.78 same g-tec same road etc! So i take it as a performance indicator sort of thing! Also the fact that other cars there were doing around the same times as they have previously done at the strip (.1 of a sec average difference) to be a reasonable indication of whats happening!
In case your wondering what i actually did to my car
1) Harder springs front and rear now gives less squat when launching
2) revised intake setup with new airbox etc
3) Launch control care of gizmo

So should really be a bit faster than i was previously which i am happy to say i am!

Yeah but remember boy you have yet to prove it on the strip, remember that sometimes mods can go the way you want them to or they can make you slower. I agree with chaos up there about dont take g-tec to seriously, i mean sure they would be great if you took a time then did some mods and tested again on the exactly same piece of road in the same conditions (temp etc) I know that people will start having a cry cos of what i said about the g-tech but i seriously believe that they arent that accurate, I mean the one run i did i got a 15.1 and the way i launched, changed gear etc i could've sworn i would've done a 15.6 on the strip!

We'll see how the mods go in november aye

[ROBODISCO_20v]

i wont be going to wellington for the jamboree.
I'll scan a copy of my time slip next time i venture down to meremere, which will hopefully be for the night drags.
As for the coments compairing the 20k silvertop to my blk top, the blk to is far from standard so i'm compairing apples with apples. Anyway 111 look much better than 101's, although that green thing in this moths performance car looks pretty good.

Ooh, this sounds interesting? what mods have you done dude? Be very intersted to see what a modded blacktop does on the strip, i think with the right mods our cars maybe good for a 14.5 quarter mile??

Well thats my ultimate goal anyway, my goal for this season is a 14.7-14.8 if i get that i will be happy, the intake pipe and pod are on the way

[phat_levin]

i know this is an old post but i fitted a pod with a heatshield to my ae101 20v and it goes fine, the metal on the pod stays kool to touch and the heatshield gets warm. sure it heats up at the lights etc but its not like it matters in that situation.......

I second this, I've seen this car thrashed many, many times, and it totally sounds like a modded vtak at full noise! Kinda reminds me of the old BDAs flying past thru the forest stages.. *sigh*
