Ok guys, so there has been a fair bit of interest in this thread and a few of you have spoken to me about them (and Scott too I assume)...

.... but Scotty has (finally) decided to make the "Fisher mk2" suction pipe for you guys in and outside of Victoria!

As you can see in this thread, the difference it made to Scotty's car was an additional 22kw at all four wheels (taken from RE Customs dyno) and you can read what difference it made with my car which has no aftermarket ECU or tuning earlier in this thread.

Kits will be as pictured in post#1 and made up off a stock turbo/intake ARX or RS and will include;

Lower half of pipe wrapped in ceramic heat wrap

All Silicone joiners and stainless steel clamps

Barbs in place for BOV return and breather hose

Extension and clamps for BOV pipe

Both turbo and airbox flanges welded onto pipe, ready to bolt up

The only item that you will need is your stock Air Flow Sensor and air flow sensor pipe. You WILL need to cut 25mm from the flange end of the AFS pipe.

The only other thing you will need is time to fit it.

Kits are priced at $450 + shipping

*** Please note that the intake kits will be made up off an M35 with stock turbo and stock airbox/intake, some modification may be required to fit your vehicle ***

+1 for ARX if its not too hard to fit.

How many hrs u reckon it would take for someone who's got no clue?

My car has stockie exhaust... do u reckon it would make a big difference?

With no modification? Just a case of ripping off the OE intake and installing the Fisher intake?

Maybe an hour or so

That was a pretty useless question though. As if I'd post asking for help and be ignored. Stagea forum is uber helpful.

yup - its getting to the stage people will start buying stageas BECAUSE of the forum (if that isn't already happening) :laugh:

Has anyone been able to install one of these in Qld? would love one but crapping myself at the thought of DIYing it.

The issue is not installing it but making sure it fits your car as its very tight in there as you can imagine.

I can make one and fit it to my car to make sure its ok, then send it up but thats time consuming, and my car is off the road for a day, easier to fit it straight to your car if you werent so far away. Planning a trip south soon? :)

Detailed info to fit it is no problem, easy for a mechanically minded person. Definitely a must do mod if you have highflowed your turbo or plan to.

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but I assume Scotty's car is running aftermarket ECU (haltech piggy or what ever it was?)

If you were running standard ECU, what would the benefit be? extra fuel economy is definitely a bonus! :D

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
