The POD filter is gone ... what should I notice ?

[KiwiTT]

Now that I have removed the HKS Pod Filter (in the bin now), what should I notice. I assume I will be getting cooler air now into the engine now.

Better Fuel Economy ?
More Power ?
Smoother delivery ?Ideas ?

Better performance, especially around town when you would have been sucking in hot air before.

So, less so on the open road. I suspect my fuel economy may improve slightly.

I get a full tank and start my measuring again.

I assume you have the stock setup again? It might be a little more frugal around town, there probably won't be any differance once you hit 80kmh

Let us know the difference between the 2.you have the perfect chance to road test both and write your findings.look forward to you findings.

Prior to the Transmission failure. The car felt a lot smoother. Fuel economy was about the same, however, it is too soon to call. Power delivery was about the same if not better slightly.

Overall, I would say the car felt more refined and less raw.

Whats an HKS pod filter do?? And why have you got rid of it??

If you don't mind me asking!

In a normal car they can be quite beneficial, but in a VR-4 the very high engine bay temperatures mean that (especially around town) the pod filters will be sucking in very very hot air which is no good for performance.
