If your sucking in hot air your air/fuel ratio will be wrong. You'll run rich and make less power.

I had a setup very similar to ee904age's 1st pic on my AE92 GT. it had a small piece of PVC (about10-15cm) for piping. It depends on what driving your doing most. if most of the time you're in lots of traffic, driving slow and idling at lights this setup isnt ideal. but if most of your driving is above 50ks heat soak from your engine isnt too much of a problem at all. You could construct a pipe from under the guard to the end of the pod which would solve most of the problems with this. Its an easy and cheap setup. The real question (as it always is) is how much your willing to spend on it because you get what you pay for!!!

a pod filter is a very basic mod with not extremely noticeable gains, so if your gonna spend big bucks mucking around with one, just get some cams or something instead

ive heard that said many times from several mechanics. A pod will give you minimal gains at low rev and pratically none at high rev, as the engine is sucking in air hard out anyways.

The guy who said that less O2 needs more fuel is a lost cause. I feel sorry for his car. You want to put in more O2 so you can put in more fuel and then make more power.


When the air is cooled down it gets denser meaning theres more of it in less space so if theres more air in the compression chamber that could mean more fuel needs to be in the chamber in order to get satisfactory combustion.
Can everyone stop bitching because its kinda stupid thinking you know better than someone else and having to be right all the time i mean who really cares.
