Boxed pod air filter question.

[gpx000]

hey guys i know this has been answered already but i know nothing about cold air boxed pod filters and how to install them.
but is anyone able to do it for me? and where am i able to get the parts?

[gpx000]

alright ill check it out then.
i just dont have time since i have hsc, but yeah ill give it a search. thanks man.

Follow Koolio1234's diy, its a pretty easy one which I am using right now with a little of my own modification to it. Its still serving me well.

What's wrong with the one in it already?

[gpx000]

nothings wrong it was jst quite dirty and im not sure if it was oil or something on it.
we bought an air filter cleaner and gave it a wash. but i think it needs to be changed to a fresh one.
but im not too sure.

[Gholdwayne]

That's the UAS kit isn't it? Just wash the filter with water but let it dry naturally. I'm not sure if I remember someone telling me that you can use soaps or detergent to help though. Then use that k&n air filter oil kit or any good brand... Meanwhile, use a temporary air filter. The stock airbox can be used with the UAS pipe which I will do when my time comes .

[gpx000]

yeah i bought the k&n air filter oil cleaner kit and gave it a wash.
i was just wondering if i could just replace the cover of the pod filter with a boxed one? i have like a plastic cover or something.
if i box it and change my pod to an apexi power intake will it make a difference in performance?

also i see some intake pipes with a box in between the pipes :S what is the purpose of it?

[bass_twitch]

the intakes with the box in between the pipe are the GR version, and it is a MAF sensor, as I'm guessing you have a GPX don't worry about it.
Also if you currently have a UAS set up on your car and you want to change to an apexi power intake I will happily take the UAS pipe off your hands

[gpx000]

ooohh alright. the UAS pipe? is that the big black thing that connects to the engine?
if i get a power intake air filter does that mean i have to change my pipes too?

[bass_twitch]

mate I think you need to take a photo of what you have and put it up.. it would be simpler..

[gpx000]

sure ill take one tomorrow and ill post it up.

[AJ]

yep, it's the UAS CAI kit (Big thick black pipe, air filter, cold air feeder pipe and box enclosure). I wouldn't be letting that go too quickly if I was you. It's a good part and they don't make them any more. The filter is supposed to be oiled, it helps to catch dust n sh*t before it gets to your engine. You won't notice much difference with anything else, I really wouldn't bother changing it. Just keep it clean by washing it and re oiling it every service, that's what I used to do.

That car also has the UAS engine pipes with flex joint. Check out the parts catalogue for the FTO at http://www.uniqueautosports.com/ for more details.

I agree! The UAS kit you have there gpx000 is a great intake kit! You will gradually realize how valuable that big black pipe is. I say leave it as it is, it's great! I have the same kit! Except I had to make my box since I did not get it.

[gpx000]

yeah ill surely keep the kit now .
ill try get hold of a box of maybe a wrecker if i find an FTO there. or get it off a member since he has a half cut fto.
he said he was selling it but im not sure of the price? how much should i get it off him? how much are the boxes worth

[Gholdwayne]

If you're talking about the stock airbox, you will either have to use a panel filter with it or specific other filters that will fit inside the box.

[gpx000]

yeah i just looked at the UAS filter its massive haha. i dont think a normal box will fit. do you have a box that fits the UAS filter as well? do you have a photo that im able to see just so i know how big its meant to be.

[gpx000]

gholdwayne i took a photo but ddnt know how to upload it but this is what it looks like. it seems bigger than i thought. so will modding the box be difficult? is this what you have too?
