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.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
