120 Degree Intake Pipe.

[kjb_r33]

Got my 120 degree intake made up yesterday, fitted it today, seems a hell of a lot more responsive (had to be careful, pissing down out here). Need to get my BOV adjusted properly yet, every now and then when pulling up it stalls, and yes its a plumb back. What is the best way to adjust it?

1st pick shows with original.

2nd pick shows both side by side, alot of piping taken out.

3rd pick shows new pipe fitted up. Even looks alot better.

Photos were taken with my phone, i left my camera at home, did the job at work.

hey mate is there much clearance for the bonnet?

Seems like you have saved about 2 feet of extra piping length there...Looks good...

Can anyone else confirm if something like this does help response?

Not bad....except I don't like the fact it blocks the oil filler and coils/spark plugs.

it would be bee's dick difference. but I'm sure you'll THINK you can feel it.

i think it would make a difference. he's eliminated 2 sharp-ish bends which will cause a bit of turbulance and restriction. the last bend is open in terms of the angle.

i like the design. to get to your last 3 plugs you need to take the crossover pipe off anyway. at least now its only a matter of 2 clamps and you can swing it around. the oil filler cap will be a bit of a problem though.

here is the plazmaman version.

you need to loosen a few hose clamps to clear the oil filler, it is not difficult.

Another negative comment, didnt get any last night ay?

I'll be going for exactly this kind of setup in about a months time. SydneyKid and a few others recommend it. RE in the way of the sparkplugs/coils - the only piping I've seen that isn't is a forward facing plenum, any other aftermarket IC piping is also in the way and has to be taken off for work. I'll be trying Hypertune's kit, apparently it's 5 piece.

Oil filler cap isn't that big of a problem

I have a pipe much similar to that

When I'm doing oil, I'm doing plugs at the same time, so that pipe is off!

If I needed to "top up" you can still get the cap off easily enough.

It's under the strut bar. It isn't an issue.

Also, Wolverine: That's the exact same one I run. I don't find hose clamps are needed to be loosened at all.

[kjb_r33]

Bonnet isnt as problem and i can live with the oil filler cap, 2 clamps and its off. I think it even looks better. Intake temps have dropped a little as well, i monitor those with one of those jaycar temp probes.

they might have modified the kit slightly, i got mine a while ago. mine fowls slightly so loosening the clamps is enough to unscrew the cap.

or possibly the location of the cooler is different on yours which lifts it up the few mm's to clear the cap?

just throwing it out there.

wouldnt it be more beneficial to get a forward facing intake plenum.

im installing one atm and it gets rid of almost 2m of piping and looks clean.

nice and clean. u can access the engine block without all the piping in the way

^^^ That is true...but that is a whole different ball game as it involves a fair bit more work than just replacing a pipe...and it will cost heaps more too...

[r33cruiser]

plenum=200-400 ebay

bolts, nipples etc=20

xf TB= 50 ebay

270-470. and is a long term fix with greater benefits.

labour costs=NO

thats awesome(1st post) are you able to retain the stock BOV by making an adaptor plate?

[TTT]

Don't get me wrong.

It's the design I would do from the start if I was doing a fmic.

Gibson motorsport used this on the race R31's..

I just wouldn't have bothered if it already had the U shape across the motor like he already had.

each to their own.

[jeffworld2]

had to do this too, as my turbo was in the way of the stupidly wide arc made by the original piping. i dont think i want it close to the exhaust anyway

i dont like the look of it tho, so will go some sort of front facing plenum eventually

[r33cruiser]

all up mate. how much did it cost for the pipe and labour?

just interested
