Hey guys just wondering if this would work, My freinds R33 RB25DET's Turbo To AFM pipe has been damaged, Now the case is that im going to take my original one off so he can copy it but there are 2 holes as the pictures above you can see the 2 holes, Now i wana know if we need to make these 2 holes as well? because its on a metal pipe its a bit difficult to make those 2 holes... can we just block them? Thanks guys,

Geraus,

silicone ones are good. i have one on my car and never missed a beat. those two holes are for the bov recirc pipe and the breather pipe from the cam covers. the latter you dont really need but the stock bov wont function properly without the recirc connected to the intake (i think)

Ohh yeh thats it the recurc pipe and the BOV pipe, Thanks so much guys! we just got the pipe done this morning but it hasnt got the 2 holes. :) , Sorry wots "latter" . The pipe is the same shape as the OEM one. So there is no way we could use the the pipe without the 2 holes?

I got a silicon one from ebay for about $85 delivered, they work well and look very neat but fitment wasn't 100% on my R32

You will have to cut it down if your using standard air box and if your using a pod, depending on size you might need to change the way it sits a little

I've got a stock RB25 intake pipe which has been cut down a few cm's as I was using it on my R32, you can have it for $20 if you want

Located in Hallam

edit:

Tap a nipple into the intake pipe and run that to the rocker cover and for the bov recirc, if you really can't be bothered plumbing it back you might as well pull the vac line out and block that, block the bov port to cross pipe and block the bov outlet

I used an Ebay pipe on my R34 GTT - good and cheap, but had to trim it slightly which was no drama. I blocked off the cam breather port as I am using a oil catch can. I tried playing with not connecting the bov return and the car wouldn't idle. Hope this helps you mate.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
