performance intake.

You could enter it in the next Bathurst 1000. I simply don't know why you would want to put a pod air cleaner or try to alter the software to remove the maf.

You only use a Pod aircleaner if you don't value the engine life.
Absolutely no good for taking fine dirt out of the airstream.

Unilfilter will do better and will also filter the engines airflow and keep fine dust out of the intake stream.

Why do you think a different intake will improve the system?

The area around, prior to the MAF and after it, is designed to work for correct reading of the airmass entering the engine. That governs fuel injection amounts.
Tamper with that and you may not have it operate properly at all.
Aluminium intake will absorb engine heat and make the intake air hotter than normal. Not a good idea and you may lose volumetric efficiency to some degree. ie, less oxygen into the engine.

If you want more air then remove the factory "hiclone" type unit between the guard and the air cleaner. It blocks around 50% of the air flow. They are fitted to all 100 series and 120 series prados (and maybe more). I just cut the guts out of mine and left about 10mm of the fins around the outside which still spins the air but removes the section that blocks it up.

Interested to know what you are hoping to gain by using a pod under the bonnet ? If you want a bit more power then fitting a snorkel to draw in cooler air is the best option and fitting a K&N air filter or a foam filter will increase airflow so you should gain some power and maybe improve fuel consumption you can also fit a pre filter to the snorkel head to keep out bugs. Using a pod under the bonnet will have a limited effect because you're still drawing in hot air from under the bonnet even if you put it in a box trying to limit the heat drawn in you're not getting the fresh air from outside directed into your intake and if you do go off road and do water crossings you are still at risk of sucking water if you accidently find a deep hole which occasionally happens.

This car is a tow car for my drift car. If I wanted a four wheel drive to do out back adventures I wouldn't buy one with a petrol engine or a leather interior... I didn't come on here to tell people what car to drive I asked about pod filter intake options... In the comments listed already I have been told that aluminum intakes sap power, pod filters dont do a good enough job etc... The drift car I use has been in to the sand pit on more than one occasion which is more dirt use than the Sahara will see for 1 and for 2 you say these intakes will rob power so use a snorkel etc... I don't have a snorkel on my drift car, it has an LS1 with one of these aluminum intakes and makes 518hp in its current setup so if it works (which it clearly does for this vehicle) then I don't see what the problem is with the 2UZ so if we could stay on topic here I'd like to find a POD type intake, I want to KEEP the MAF, the POD will be a non oiled type so I don't clog up the MAF, I'd like to use a heat shield of sorts to keep engine bay heat out of the POD area without having to try fit the POD in a box.

Also there are many examples of the POD setup in the UZJ100 leading to 05... The 06 and 07 aren't listed with K&N so I'm here asking for your help, up to 05 they used them, the Jeep guys use them etc and these are a bolt on mod so IF I wanted to go Four Wheel Driving I could easily put the stock intake back on... Its not hard...

So I ask again, has anyone got a route I can go down for a POD type intake?

Please and thanks.

As long as I don't get told to take my Cruiser to Bathurst or something like that again... Bit of a kick in the guts for my first post on your forums as I asked the question on the Facebook page and then got told theres a Forum - go there and be ridiculed then go to another forum etc... Doesn't bode well for changing my expectations of forums.

I asked for a POD filter Intake... Why do you need any other info...?

Just post a link to a POD filter intake.

I'll make it easy on you guys as you don't seem to be able to understand what I want without exact info - Copy and paste the below with a website address or a location that I can go to to get a POD Filter intake.
