Fitted A Alloy Intake Pipe Today

[J_R33]

Hey all,

R33 GTST Series 2

bought one of these the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ALLOY-INTAKE-PIPE-4...id=p3286.c0.m14

Doesn't state anywhere on the ad that its a pain in the ass to fit and that it is not a direct fit.

Hose from blow off valve and breather house have to me changed or modified!

Few pics..

Take off standard cooler piping

Remove standard intake pipe

Test fit new alloy pipe.. oh look, nothing lines up!

End up having to run new house for breather and BOV

Had to do with what we had for joining hose to alloy pipe as we couldn't get a hold of the correct size pipe for BOV plumb back into intake.

Also, had to trim about 2cm off the bottom of the pod filter other wise it wouldn't sit under the bonnet because the alloy pipe is a bit too long!!!!

In other words,

dodgey kit! Nothing lines up!!

im making my dose pipe tonight after work at my mates factory.

ill get some pics to compare to urs maybe tomorrow.

as if u went for ebay junk anyways lol

[paulr33]

hate to say it but this is what you get for cheap knock off items on ebay / 2nd hand traders

its probably autobahn 88 or something cheap etc

if it was a legit HKS or Trust item it would be about sub $500 and fit perfectly and mate up

but if its a knock off $80 item what can you expect?

i bought a 2nd hand one off the forum (custom made by exhaust joint) and it fit up perfectly.

i think most exhaust places charge around $120 fitted for a intake pipe as well!

Yes lol, BOV is blocked off anyways

Defiantly run a bigger bov return hose

Lol, its just so its there to make the BOV legal as you know its meant to be plumbed back. The BOV is blocked off anyways

Ah good ole ebay "direct fit" parts...

Cost you more in time than something from a well known trader if you paid initially

Good writeup/info on what you needed/need to do etc though for others that might get into the same predicament

Any performance gain after the new Alloy Intake Pipe?

[R31Nismoid]

There is none.

Only time you will see a 'gain' is if your stock one is sucking shut, which really isn't a gain, its just replacing a stuffed/broken part

put it on a dyno and have a look while a run is being done. much easier than trying to drive with the bonnet up and someone standing on a skateboard leaning into the engine bay, LOL

sorry ash but i beg to differ

i made a "dose" pipe on sunday night after work and fitted it all up its 3 inch stainless steel and about 30cm long ish

the response in every gear is much better it definately had a good gain in response. the dose is not very loud either which is good too.
