Does any body have pod filter installed on their BE/BH?

my pod destroyed two AFMs, so im back on factory airbox with the **** in the guard removed, it sounds pretty much excatly the same as it did when the pod filter was on.

get a link so you can remove the AFM all together, then run a pod

maybe installers incompetence there?

Ive been running a HKS mushroom Pod for a while now with no problems.

I think as long as you have it securely fastened you shouldn't have problems with the AFM, well thats what I believe based on what Ive seen.

I had mine installed by mag and turbo and it is really well secured. If you grab it and try to move it it hardly moves at all

fingers crossed then

I too am running a HKS mushroom, and is secured down

must be a good choice of filter i think : ;D

[Guest]

secure being my guess

Bugger, I just bought a 94 GT and it had a K&N pod on it, looking a bit worse for wear, so I just got a JAMEX pod for $33 delivered...trying to get a refund so I can go up and get the factory air box from the wreckers...

I've had a tiny bit of backfiring and hesitation in lower revs, new sparks have done a little good but hopefully this is the prob

Coil's maybe??

backfiring and hesitation ant things i would put down to an air filter, but correct me if i'm wrong anyone?

[Guest NZBG]

Backfiring as in once this morning, only had the car a week. I hope it's not the coils! Haha. I thought maybe the maf getting swirling air and faulty readings some times may cause overfueling, also the pod aint secured so it's all jiggling round, think I'll take the maf apart and inspect as per tech doco on here, then secure properly and see what happens...needs heat sheilding either way.

i had a mushroom hks pod, was secure, maybe it was just a considence? (*sp) and that the afm was already on its way out?

although, i did have a pip coming from the front bumper right into the pod, so it probably just got some shit in it

Na all the time, under moderate throttle. The backfire was when it was cold though...

[Guest NZBG]

Nasty

[MINTGTB]

Time will tell whether or not people who are still running this type of filter to have a turbo failure.. Filtration must be sh*thouse then..

ive seen afms goin cheap so guna try my luck *touch wood*

Where!!! I got a quote for a new AFM for the BH and it was $500+GST !

[D-Style]

Really? Werent they only about $180 odd for the Gen 3 type AFM?

Stainless mesh type dont filter alot. A few trips via some dusty roadworks proved that to me after looking inside intake piping.

But hey, Bing and Noise is more important to some than protecting your engine.

[Glen]

Around $180 for the AFM i got 9 months or so ago.

[Guest]

The price I got from Wingers was even more! That $500+GST was cost price through a friend.

The original one they gave me was not the right one and it was $180+GST. After giving them the model number off the one actually in the car they gave me the scary quote!

Can I ask how many kms you have done with this turbo. Even normal airboxes wont filter everything.

If by backfiring you mean a popping sound from the exhaust as unburnt gas exits the exhaust and coupled with the heat can ignite causing the pop. This is not backfiring and is completely normal, especially if you have an aftermarket performance muffler/exhaust.

I like exhaust popping. ;D

So do i, on the over-run.. sounds mean!

car done 130k km. as to age of filter... no idea.

I've had no problems with my pod since I've had it, it's an A'Pexi pod which came with some brackets to hold it and the AFM in place... been running it since Feb though so there is plenty of time for it to all go south...

Owell I still have the factory airbox lying around, can always go back if the need arises

Same here, but ive got a Blitz mesh one. However today I changed it over to an Apexi one just to see how it sounds, as the blitz one is kind of annoying on long trips.

HKS filters need to have the mesh changed every 5000kms. I used have them on my old fd.
