Hi Guys,

Just wondering who has one installed in their car? I would like to purchase one and install it as the stock rubber one is likes to collapse in summer and restrict boost. I've used the silicon ones as well, not really a fan.

Below is the one by Performance Wise, it's half the price of the Apexi Suction Kit but is laid out slightly different, so I am afraid of fitment. Not too sure how it would fit.

Does anyone have one of these fitted to their car? photos would be great!

OR if someone wants to sell me their Apexi Suction Pipe, I'll buy it for the same price of the one below :yes:

Ive got the Apexi kit which I bought from Paul (Performance Wise) and the one above looks almost the same. Send Paul an email or PM and ask him. He is a really honest, top bloke who I have bought almost all of my parts from over the years and he has NEVER led me astray.

He will tell you the difference, they do make a little more induction noise though. Let me know if you want pics of the Apexi kit

hi mate,

Yeah I did send a message to Paul on eBay lol

He told me to post it up on SAU and ask you guys if anyone is using one.

From what I've seen, the Apexi Suction kit is very different, the BOV return and the cam cover line is placed differently.

:(

Not sure if this helps out, but this is what the suction kit comes with for an R33 GTS - I didn't have a picture, so just copied one from a website.

The suction kit uses the black hoses to join up with the original ones, which insert into the OEM rubber intake.

So the performance wise kit should do the same I assume.

Ive got the performance wise kit, and its tops.

fitted it up when I installed my GT30r turbo

Hey Tangles, could you post up a photo of it and where you've plumped back the lines?

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

I don't think so....but I could be wrong...? Looking at mine...I don't think it will line up and fit...

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

it will not line up unfortunately, the original turbo intake pipe has more bends than that pipe. I've already installed a airbox partition I bought from Hi Octane Racing, great fit cheaper than other places. I picked it up from their showroom and I told them I was from SAU and it cost me $80.00 what a bargain!

Cheaper than a few other suppliers.

Tangles!

got the photos yet buddy?

......... and on this topic, I've damaged the mesh on my AFM, it's disrupting air flow measurements and the car is knocking quite hard.

I've got a highflow stock r33 turbo.. doing 235kws... running 17high boost and 14low boost now if i put this in and replacing my OEM pipe... would this make any diffrence? people are saying the stock pipe gets sucked in and closed...

cant say i felt or heard much diff with the standard turbo. but let us know how it goes geraus. mines decided it wants to stay in a spot where it rubs on someting and make a farking annoying squeking sound.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
