Hi i remember seeing not to long ago a custom stainless steel pipe that went from the afm to the turbo that was ment to reduce restriction and i just wanted to know what it is called and where i can get one? Also do people notice a difference? Thanx

Not unless you have a high kilowatt application thats pulling 230kw++ and the only reason you'd notice a difference is because at these power levels the standard rubberised induction pipes can suck themselves closed and severly bottleneck airflow. so yeh, unless yours is sucking itself closed you'll notice no difference

Only if ur using a std airbox. If your gonna cut and paste, cut and paste the whole story.

If your using a pod, you wount have any issues with the std rubber intake. But it is a bit ghey so if u feel like making t better good on u.

High kilowatt 230kw :):):(:)

Thats funny tell me another one

Mate if you want one have a look in the For Sale - Business Traders section as there is a place that sells them.

that pipe is not suitable for stock air boxes. only pods. I asked him. prob. too long or maybe wrong angle.

I'm quite sure i'm not cut/pasting anything retard :devil:

What i'm saying is there's no point getting one of these, unless your running decent power or want to dose :P

Yeh but he wants one because he's heard it reduces restriction, he also wants to know if anyone notices differences, so i'm assuming he's looking at it from a performance aspect

anyways wtf are ppl doing awake at 2am on a sunday night

How do you know for certain it doesn't reduce restiction. He may be right.

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
