Hey

Recently had my turbo highflowed via hypergear n the responce is awsome,

he did advise to change the standard intake pipe which is rubber to metal (and larger diameter)

has anyone done this? and could they point me in the right direction about where to buy one?

any help would be great,

Cheers

be careful if you have a nice shiny straight peiece of metal as the intake ducting

the standard intake pipe has accordian style bends in it to avoid afm signal reversion

if you put in a nice perfect straight piece of metal it will cause reversion of the AFm signal and make the car run like ass

good advice, i was planning on moving the AFM to the cold side of the cooler piping, just b4 the blowoff valve

so pretty much, pod-> pipe-> turbo

guess size dnt matter cos i'll have to use some silicon hose to narrow it down into the turbo?

cheers all

just keep the standard intake pipe with the afm in the standard position. if it sucks closed then put a small piece of exhaust pipe in the middle of it, theres a guide on here.

you do not need a bigger intake pipe with a highflow

nothing at all dodgy about it. you cut the stocker pipe, put an offcut of exhaust pipe in there and hose clamp both parts of the intake pipe to it.

intake pipe wont change what airflow the afm maxxes out at, once again stocker would actually be better than a metal pipe as it has the ribs in it to stop any reversion

yer i have a metal intake pipe and also dont have any issues but i made sure it was nice and long with a decent bend in it. but the only reason i made one was to suit the 4" intake on my turbo. if you have a small turbo inlet theres no reason to use a metal pipe

Get a metal intake pipe and relocate AFM and BOV. If you are concert about cop problems dyno tune your car with 3inch metal pipe and pod before putting the REV210 metal sleeved stock intake pipe back on. Stao explained side affects of it into detail with dynosheet comparasm and users comment in his tread as well as installation notes on AFM and BOV relocation. Have a read in this thread. from memory its in page 39 & 43.

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
