Am looking at upgrading me standard air box. Will a pod filter in the engine bay give me more power? Or should I fit a cold air box?

Heres just an example of the cold-air box I built in my BZR....

A pod filter in a cold air box will work better than just a pod filter in a hot engine bay. As to how much Hp you will gain? Put it on a dyno before you do it, then build your cold air box/ pod filter combination and dyno it again.

Or you could use your search button and find all sorts of things on cold air intakes - plus it will help if you spesify which chassies your motor is siting in as they have different shapes, different motors and altogether different ways of getting a nice efficient cold air intake to fit it!

He's got a Toyota Carib w/blacktop 20v engine. So that why I posted those pics. (I read some of his other posts.)

You could buy my setup and build a cold air box...

But yea... definitly build a cold air box otherwise you are wasting your time and money on the pod.

Yeah, but I'm lazy and haven't shifted it yet.

i still think this is the best "Air intake" idea

Maybe with the bumper on! Otherwise you would get alot of water and road crap on your filter!! :lol:

You would be suprised how much air flows behind your headlights, and with a setup like mine, it keeps the air box pretty damn cool. When I'm racing I just have to remove the headlight, takes like 2mins, and that gives even more flow.

With a setup like in the pic above, its a bit harder to get to your filter to wash/clean it. I just have to lift my bonnet and undo a few screws and its out.
