That means your factory one was sucking shut ever so slighty.

Simply replacing the material does not directly affect anything.

Size = same

Volume = same

Amount of air going into the turbo = same

Therefore there is NO increase UNLESS your current one is closing over a bit.

Unless you are 150% sure your factory one was not even slightly sucking shut, i'd be saying that is what you have inadvertently fixed

Hmm fair enough.

Im running 20psi on a set of gt-rs turbo's using stock gtr intake piping, never had an issue.

I thought that was the idea of the wire inside the piping, so it holds it's shape for this very reason. Don't think I would go to the trouble but just for the bling bling.

dammit! its doing my head in! i've tried everywhere today!!!! i cannot find this 30mm pipe!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone knows let me know ASAP! ive tried purple cop, enzed, VPW performance....! blahaa!!!!!!!

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?

For $420, I'll trim my filter and run a couple of new hoses.

Do you have some sort of testing to back that "information" up? I'm not saying the factory intakes don't get sucked shut sometimes, but that pipe is smooth and gently tapers down into the turbo as opposed to the factory when which has those accordion style ridges and doesn't taper as smoothly. Also, please don't tell me about the ridges stopping air from going the opposite direction and back into the MAF. They wouldn't stop squat, and I ran the HKS metal intake pipe way back in the day with no problems. Now if you have some numbers to back all this up, I'd be very interested to see them, otherwise I'm going to call all of that what it is. Namebrand nut swinging combined with "fact" based on a high post count.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
