Hey guys,

has anyone installed a pod filter on a 2nd gen magna 4cly?

i have been looking at it and im told it could be difficult if there is an Air Flow Meter!

give me your thoughts plz

Nah man I dont think anyone has ever done this ever.
If people are telling you it's going to be "difficult" you need to speak to new people.

Get pod filter + pod filter adaptor for magna = pod filter installation.
I would have a picture as I've had 3 different pod's installed on the TR when it was standard but wasn't really worth taking pictures of.

So in conclusion! Get a pod filter adaptor made for the magna. BEFORE you buy it test it out as some do not fit.

I only ever remember seeing one magna with a WORKING pod....
I'd just BMC or K/N filter it.

ye i have a pod filter, a mate gave me

but im told its hard to do it due to the air flow meter,

but it doesnt matter with u tuff coz your car is a 3rd gen, well 3rd gen motor

but thanks guys

All 2nd gens and 3rd gens use air flow meter and they all require the adapter to fit a generic pod filter unless you get the specifically made K&N ones.

WTF I was telling you about when the car was standard, so what I had to say was relevant.

How is it a "3rd gen" motor, I dont remember seeing any DOHC 3rd gens :s

waist so what engine do u have in there to be able to get 155kw? just the 2nd gen v6?

yea i saw the link who ever sent it

thankyou guys

my dad said i dont have an air flow meter so its easier than i thought to put the pod on

You should have an airflow meter somewere in the line, be it air box, mad or tb sensor. It tells your computer how much fuel to pump.

instead, just get a higher flowing panel filter, its more legal anyways

We understand and you dont have to infract yourself because your telling us the rules,

Panda, your TR DOES have an Airflow Meter... there isnt a factory EFI 2nd gen without one.

Your AFM is directly after the Airbox and has a electrical connection plugged into the side of it. Without it your Car wont run... been there, done that.

I would strongly recomend buying a K&N Panel filter for your TR. I tried a POD and had an epic flatspot til about 3000rpm.
I changed back to the Panel and problem solved.
From there i made my own mods to suit but i would steer clear from a POD unless you're setting up an airbox and getting a Performance tune to make it work properly.

btw Tuffy has a 3.5L Twin cam engine from a Debonair, hes got a thread about it that is bigger than his rear wing :P have a read :)

As I mentioned already in my previousl post.

As i stated previously, 2nd Gens are the WORST car to get a POD working for them, I've only ever seen ONE that got a Pod Filter working properly.
I tried this on my 2G and found out the hard way.

K&N or BMC Filter will do the best thing for the Panda.

I had no problem getting the K&N pod fitted and working in my old KS. Just setting things straight here. Normal round pods create turbulent air which wreaks havoc on the air flow meter. K&N pods are ok. Some say round pods with proper adapter will fix the air flow problem but as you stated, only one person got it to work on a 2nd gen.

"Properly"
Edit: And what I had seen, I watched alot of 2G's back then. Obviously I didn't keep track of everything out there. So the chances of getting them to work are uber low.
I am only stating that an aftermarket filter is a better option.

Ran 3 different round pods All worked fine for me as stated before :)

I had two different pods on my TR with two different adaptors, both worked fine, didn't run any worse than usual. Lost a bucketload of torque though. High flow panel filter is the way to go.
