Custom Intake Pipe

[hayden49]

Looks great man,

On an unrealted note, i dont really understand how your boost control is set up.

How come there is a vacum line running from the intake pipe into the boost control solenoid?

And how come there is the vacume line running off the cooler pipe into the boost controler but no vacum line running from the controller to the waste gate actuator?

Haha am i missing something here?

Cheers

looks like ass, there are a heap of ways u cld of done that, and why grind the welds back ...

u dont even need to go crazy and get full on barbed fittings ... make sure its smooth on the inside

That has to be one of the coolest projects I've seen. You could have the front section up near the turbo kept the same and then a thinner section put on up to the airbox to keep the diameter and some silicone in there somewhere to keep the flexibility.

Impressive man, very impressive.

yeah it came up real well now all i gotta do is just get some silicon joiners and drill out the bov return and pcv outlet..

thats a cool idea, but i personally would have got all the ribs through the pipe removed, so more there is a more direct flow. would definitely help as it won't suck in like a factory pipe though.

with changing it, would it heat up more than the stock as the stock is rubber and this is aluminium? because i'm thinking about changing mine but still doing abit of research to see if it heats up more or not.

im considering putting the afm into the cooler piping, and using a stock intercooler pipe for the intake, and welding or putting some nipples on it for the two hoses that connect to the intake pipe, i think this stock cooler piping i got is 2.5 inches, but i like it caus it already has a bend in it and its blackk...

i might even try and weld it to a custom box, that has a pod inside, so its all in one, intake-box-pod,

anyideas of how i could weld some nipples on the piping, i think its steel,

or should i just get a 3" pipe to connect to the turbo, and etc

You know the silicone ones in the group buy, which one weighs more? Btw nice work

[viet_boi]

does anyone know where you could get one of these made up or where you can order one out of stainless steel?

would be really interested, not really a fan of the silicon ones.

Does anyone know of any hard pipe intakes available to buy WITH the nipples for the bpv and blow-by scavenging?

performance-wise has them for $120 with joiners and clamps. I got one on my GTST and it works a treat.
