Im quite happy with it too  With the stiff accelerator pedal & old repco filter i had quite a lot of lag, but now it's "almost" as good as no filter at all I did have a few problems though  the filter is thicker then what i thought, far better quality, but i had to pull the cover out from the hindges (bout half way out) to get it to fit right & managed to thread one of the scrues in the process  Not happy jan, but the car is running much better now. I almost didn't buy the dam thing though, the price on it was "$145" at witch point i turned blue n protected my wallet  (well i could have bought a pod n made a CAI for that) but the guy said my 120 was about right for em & took off my 5% discount so i got it at $114  . I also ordered some more paint for the boot (dono if i mentioned it before but im redoing it since i was so tacky). My dash mat should be in same time as the paint so im all happy  |

Power ? There said to give between 1-4 Kw (with pods twice as effective as panels) but i doubt that you will notice it much. The main thing is that you have a lot less lag or better response. You rev the engine high n it takes a lot less time to reach the level & it's very noticeable when you drop from mid-high revs, because the car is still trying to suck in the same amount of air it was before, but no longer has half the vacuum power to suck it in, with normal filters there tends to be a noticeable delay from when you take your foot of the excel to when the car reaches idle. But ya i don't think you will notice the small power gain just the response. |

with a Simota pod my car makes noticably more power, has better fuel economy (something like 30+k's more to a tank) and it sounds cool!

Id have to agree with Rich, my simota definatley increased power low down (although most people seem to get more higher in the rev range). Well worth the money, and the trip to melbourne to get!
Although my mum thinks my car is 'smoky' as a tiny bit of black smoke comes out the exhaust when I tramp it... ie- its running a little rich due to the pod.

yeah thats the problem with stickin opn pod filters huh? With all of the sensors on the intake that nissan gave us it makes things a little hard. Iv heard that you can severely decrease your fuel economy because the airflow meter senses that there is more airflow and goes into some sort of protection mode where it adds more fuel than neccessary. I think it's 2 stop leaning out at high revs and damaging the engine..
Atleast thats how I understand it... Maybe im wrong???

No, it compensates for the increased airflow of the new filter.
Every car that is either stock or lightly modded courtesy of an air filter/exhaust will run rich with std ECU's as the manufacturer sees this as a safety net against low octane fuel.

What kind of adaptor do you use again mat ? & as for you noss, can you really justify all that money on a ca20 ? with only around 82kw (with pod) how much extra could you possibly get ?

out of all honesty, i couldnt justify spending the money on the ca20e, as to do it properly would be more expensive than an rb20 turbo.
but if it were done right, these days, you should expect around a 50-60% increase in power with a properly matched turbo, good manifold, and properly tuned management. not to mention a cooler & exhaust.
