Need Someone To Make Up An Intake Pipe(melb)


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm after someone to make me up an intake pipe for my r34 GTT. Preferably stainless 3". I require 'barbs/nipples' for bov and circ. If anyone can fabricate this or can put me onto someone who can please let me know. I live in Melbourne SE suburbs and can drive car to you for trial fitting.

I pay cash :P

Thanks, James

ebay bro you can find a intake pipe their for 125 with all silicon pipes and o rings as well delivered have a look for them

Silicon pipes are good if you want to dress up your engine bay, but to produce the horsepower a larger intake is required. Silicon tends to suck shut with higher boost pressure. Appreciate the help though.

Thanks mate, How did it go? Any reversion with that 80mm pipe?

It went very well, there didn't seem to be any reversion but due to the wet road I couldn't really push it. Thanks again mate, will keep you posted in regards to tune.

this is the one i made up..

Are you venting the BOV? What about the crankcase ventilation?

The hard part to making these is the reversion when the BOV releases, causing metering issues with the airflow sensor.

Talking about intake pipes, I knocked up a new intake pipe for my R33 on the weekend! :-)

I borrowed my friend's tig welder and used some piping I had at home.

2.5" on the turbo end, 3" on the airbox end.

Fits the standard turbo and retains the factory airbox, BOV return and breather line.

Makes a crazy intake sound too! Siiiik!

The angle that BOV return comes in on will cause reversion, (air will flow out towards the airflow meter instead of into the turbo) It may need to be angled in more, see how it goes I guess.

Any results from the tune?

Photos of the intake pipe please :D

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
