Hobbies :: Pod Air Cleaners Bayswater

Something that we've done a lot of testing on here is pod air cleaners, also called pod hvac filters.

People put pod air cleaners on his or her car and there is a real misconception that instantly "i've got more power". What we generally find is because they hear a great deal of induction noise, so all of the sudden they think they've got more power because they can hear the noise.

One very common problem we do find when pod air cleaners are fitted, is that the original air box is made to pick up cold air, often from while watching radiator or from behind the headlight area. The original manufacturer has designed the intake to ensure only cold air is brought to the start of the intake system.

If a pod air cleaner is fitted after the radiator, we are going to have 80 degree air temperatures going to the engine. Even in the event the engine runs an intercooler, why heat air up before it goes in sport urbain to the engine's intake system. Why not try and make it as cold as is possible.

Our recommendations is always to try to keep an EOM factory style air conditioner filter and air box. You can put your K&N or rechargeable air conditioning filters into them, but try to keep the first air box to attempt to keep the cold air intake system happening.

If you take hot air from behind the radiator, all of the engine, the turbo, the intercooler, all must work harder. And the intercooler needs to work harder to try and get the environment temperatures down.

Cold air temps, are things you need for power, and economy. The more we have cold air, the higher the engine is going to run.

So, creating a pod air cleaner may sound as you are making power. It may perform much better than your original one, because you hadn't replaced the element, or maybe your element was restrictive, nonetheless it in effect, poor quality when that bonnets, you may have 80 degree celsius engine bay temperatures, and it's not good for your tune.
