i had to cut back the 65mm 45 degree elbow to make bout a 30 degree elbow, no pipe was needed in between just the reducer piece and it a very snug fit as u can see. the 80mm elbow i took bout 10-15mm of each end just to make it shorter, plus i cut back the rubber on the the pod filter where it connects to the air flow meter.

made a bit of a difference just smother air flow sucks a bit louder, and for all of u that are fully sick! yes it does make ur little VL turbo noise if i get a chance ill add a sound clip

feel free to comment it was a good little project bit of self satisfaction on making it myself rather than buying one. plan on spraying it black but i just wanted to fit it asap so yeah

i was planning on doing the same soon, was gonna buy 3" tube then just use silicon reduser for the turbo.. iv already got rid of my bov return and planned to run my blow-by breather to a catch can or something to avoid havin to weld a nipple on for it

prob wont get round to doin it tho

Now we have a Fab Section... i've moved this one!

This is the sorta thread we look for :action-smiley-069:

Great work

thanks R31Nismoid

u could use a silicone reducer (probly cheaper) but i wanted to duplicate the standard intake in hard pipe n if i get round to it, spray it black. try keep it lookn standard as possible if i get my hands on some 3/4" black hose ill swap it with the clear aswell.

im not sure bout making another 1 at the moment to sell, well not any time soon but if i do ill keep sau updated

thats some really good work... i wish i could weld lol if you polish it up to get the heat stain off it then it will look a million bux..

yeah thats true but i want 2 spray it black as i mentioned so im not to concerned plus u cant c a great deal of the pipe in the engine bay anyway

Nice job, but my solution was to cut the rubber pipe in the centre in half and insert a 3" 90' Bend in Stainless steel.

This neatly fits inside and does not block the std BOV feedback port where the rubber is solid to the turbo inducer anyway. :P

I simply put two stainless worm clamps back over the rubber bend in between the bulges on each side of the cut to seal it again

after making sure the angles were right so everything lined up OK at the AFM.

I also chamfered the inner edge of the Stainless tube to allow less interference to the airflow at the AFM end.

Cost $15 plus hours work all up.

Nice work.

I was trying to get one of these made a couple of years ago, but I wanted to keep the BOV and PCV returns 100% stock position, so I gave up after a while. I wanted to be able to sell them as a complete replacement for stock, zero mods.

Couldn't really do it because of the location of those returns.

Gave up on it until I found the silicone replacements in my latest group buy. :yes:

I like the look of yours though.

Oh, and powder coating it wont be a problem. Will cost SFA too.

BASS OUT!

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
