Ok for those of you that stuck to a twin turbo set up I'm after some info on what piping you all have!

I'm going to be fitting a new intercooler in the not too distant future and I'm going to change all my old crusty pipes/hoses at the same time.

Now I'm currently looking at a trust cooler and I know there is a matching piping kit to get for it. What I need to know is what other kit/parts to buy as I want to keep the "Twin turbo" pipe.

To make it clearer I have circled some of the parts I need in this picture. Currently mine are all stock.

Kat,

I just replaced the top hose in your picture with a no-name 45 degree sillicon elbow. Just found one the right inside diameter and trimmed both ends down to size.

The two lower pipes look like HKS? You'd be better off keeping those hard pipes, maybe just replace the sillicon joiners if they are getting old.

Cheers,

John

Sorry Kat, didn't look hard enough.

Same still goes for the smaller top sillicon bend, from memory the HKS kits (4 hard pipes, 8 sillicon joiners + clamps) were around the $700 mark. Got mine from Brissy, can try and find the sellers name if you like, or there's always Nengun or Jessie Streeter.

I didn't replace the larger sillicon pipe on the back turbo intake, but there is probably a universal pipe around that would fit.

Just to clarify, this isn't my engine this is an example with the actual hoses I'm after :cool:

I have the original shitty black one that came on the car!

Yeah if you wouldn't mind letting me know where that'd be awesome.

It's more those black bendy pipes that attach to where my AFM's used to be and the black one next to it.

I've been looking for kits but haven't been able to find the exact type.

HKS hard pipe kit from Brisvegas:

That kit seems to be discontinued on Nengun.

They also make a Premium Suction kit for some of the intake pipes, but don't see a 32 version listed.....

I have an HKS hard piping kit, should have showed you last Sunday! It made the stock airbox fun to fit.

Heaps of my car was/is HKS. Turbos are no longer, the old HKS foam pods killed them! I think the Japanese bloke who used to own it like that brand!

Can you send me a pic?

Oooooh that's nasty! I used to have those old HKS foam pods too but got the Apexi ones on to replace them quick smart.

I'll have to take one. Sure :P .

Yeah the previous owner figured not changing the foam pods for 5 years was a good idea, by the time I got the standard airbox and new K&N filter on it was too late :P .

Thanks!

EXACTLY the same with mine! They were almost totally disintegrated in little peices!

My car never came with a stock airbox and by the time it gets its next mods it will be doing over that making it irrelevant anyway.

Thanks to those that helped, I think I have what I need now. Big thanks JD for setting me straight!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
