The only place ive seen that has an aftermarket metal intake pipe (metal is meant to make the flutter echo and sound better) is on the nengun website Apexi have a full intake kit for the r33gtst and possibly 32 but im not to sure.

Only prob is its like $300 but it does include everything you need and the pod filter too

i got mine from Shy180 on the forums too.

Hey Cubes, what type of metal did u use to block the bov? and what did u do to block the vac line?

im considering doing this after what ive read here :P

While on the bov question. My car I just bought has 2 bov's in place :P as seen below:

I want to remove the aftermarket one, so I bought a new stock cooler return pipe (black pipe). I was going to replace it today, but then noticed that the vaccum line has be re-routed to the aftermarket bov, and the stock bov has the pipe where the vaccum attached removed/blocked with a screw!!

SO, can I replace the cooler pipe to remove the aftermarket BOV and just block the hose from the manifold?

How does it affect the operation of the factory BOV if it doesn't have a vaccum/boost reference?

If you dont block this hose, does this not cause a boost/manifold leak?

Cheers for the help

You would want to use the stock bov if you dont have an aftermarket ecu of some sort because the stock ecu has been programmed to run with a plumb back bov so not having one will make your car run richer at certain times (ie gear changes) just run the vac source back to the stockie bov

and yes if you didnt block the boost/vac source it would cause a leek

Sambo33, it sounds so much better with the plate there :P. I'm going to get the intake pipe this week hopefully, otherwise might just pm shy180, how much did people on here pay for just that pipe usually?

yeah i blocked it off this morning, lots of chatter now! haha. i took it for a quick drive and everything works fine, no stalling ect. i couldnt really open up the throttle too much (being in the city and all) but i think it feels a bit more responsive than before.

i cant remember what i paid for the intake pipe, ill try and find out.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
