Hi all,

It's the same old story- I'm using the standard R33 airbox but I've got a front-mount intercooler. So, no snokel for me.

I was considering buying something like this from nengun:

but I figure it would be cheaper (and quicker) to make my own.

So, where is the best place to get 100mm unlsotted (no little holes in it) ag pipe? None of my small, local hardware shops have it.

Cheers

Hmm, not a bad idea. Only thing is I'm not sure how I'd go about bending it to suit my setup and still maintaining the pipe diameter. Going to need to have a few bends- planning to use the holes from the old side mount intercooler to feed to airbox.

the stuff im refering to is ridged like the AG pipe, just in alloy. so it bends and retains its shape pretty well.

the one thing is how to mount it without crushing it as its stiffness is lower than AG pipe- but the benefit is its easier to get tighter bends.

still - even the normal ag pipe with small holes in it will provide additional airflow regardless, and less chance of water build up in wet weather.

Hi all,

I just replaced my intercooler with a blitz lm return piping cooler, just jap stealth intercoolers are the same configuration but cheaper.

bunnings, reese, burdens, (plumbing shops) will all have 100mm ag, in 10m rolls

-may be able to buy a metre or 2 from a plumber in the car park rather than buy a whole 10mtr roll

Purple Pig & pirtek, may have something similar but will be more $$$$

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
