R32 Intake

[polishboi]

hey guys ive just recently switched to an r33 series turbo turbo from stock i know there isnt much difference in the turbso and stuff but i was just wondering what intake does every one use? im just using the standard rubber with a bend and AFM then pod but it seems to slightly kink the standard intake because its only a soft rubber. was just wondering if any one has some pictures of the intake setup they are you using.

Hey up matey, you can buy a hard rubber pipe one which is suppose to give it more flow, their are quite a few on ebay but they do cost quite a bit. I am thinking of getting one of these soon cause I can't see those bends in the stock pipe doing much good for the air flow.

The $5, 5 minute intake mod

umm ive got a straight metal or hard plastic pipe heading up thru the engine bay to the pod filter, which is next to the cold air intake.

just looked at the '$5 intake mod'. I was thinking wouldn't the metal pipe get really hot resulting in hotter air entering the turbo? Correct me if I'm wrong.

a hot piece of 10cm metal is not going to effect the temp of the air being sucked in by a turbo spinning at 100,000rpm.

going by that theory, people with full metal intake pipes must blow up engines daily.

If you are that worried, you can wrap it with heat wrap for another $5 or get it HPC coated for a few extra dorra

What makes you think metal heats faster and easier than thin rubber? It doesnt...so nothing to worry about.

I have an ARC airbox, I have never found anything as good as this.
