Stainless Steel Intake Pipe - Where To Purchase Or Get Manufactured?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea, where I can buy or get a stainless steel intake pipe (between AFM and turbo) made up to replace the factory rubber one? I have seen the Apexi ones on Nengun (very expensive), and I am not really interested in the silicon ones available from JustJap. I am after one that just "bolts up", with the appropriate silicon joiners, and has all the attachments to plug in all the hoses etc that go into it.

I occasionally see them for sale on SAU, but these things go very quick, and I have always missed out....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Peter

you chould try it, i know they have been bad in the past but it would be pretty hard to F*** up something so simple....right?

could always try and make one yourself. i did when i changed turbo (needed 100 on turbo side) and it was easier than i thought. just got a bit of 100mm pipe (was ally) with a 45 degree bend in it, cut it to length, drilled a couple holes and found some fitting for BOV and pcv, screwed them in and siliconed them, then just had to buy a 100mm joiner and a 100mm-80mm reducer from turbotech. got bits at different times and with other stuff but probs cost less than $100 all up

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies! Thanks especially to Ricca for all the sms's, but no action on my part :pirate:

I should be getting my car back this week, so I'll look into the suggested ideas / leads then.

BTW, just a thought - I went to where my car is being repaired and squished in the factory pipe and noticed it was quite firm - would this pipe only "suck in" if the filter was not flowing adequately? I am thinking of a vacuum cleaner here - pipe doesn't "suck in" unless you jam something over the end - so if the filter is flowing enough then it shouldn't "vacuum in" so to speak??

Anyways, I will still be going for a metal pipe, but it was just a thought!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
