MINI-POD
- A DIY which create the open-pod feel (Mini) and retain the stock air-box to reduce the initial torque lost created by Open Pod.
A secondary intake which is well-filtered and match to the coolant bypass mod done to the throttle to yield a faster climb of the RPM.
Also helps to bypass the possibility of engine oil going to the throttle during high rev, thus dirty the throttle body.
Cost reduced (latest version 2 dont requires any additional connectors)
Onli need to buy the Mini-Pod at S$6 each (Need min. 2 mini-pod to work)
Those interested pls put name/nick/Qty (Stock available is 50pieces ordered by Ben85 thru supplier)
Installation is simple and you will be guided.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

I am one of the earlier batch that tested the mini-pod. Better engine response is expected at high end. Eg..acceralate from 80-100kmh. Cheap and effective mod.

Stainless Steel filter without paper will usually result in dirty engine, oil & throttle body... that's why not recommended.
