logic says volume and velocity past the compressor is higher than what is in front of the compressor?

isnt that the point of the compressor.... ?

i prefer to run the hot side of the cooler the same ID as the turbo outlet (2.25" - 2.5") and the cool side of the cooler piping the same size as the throttle body. We have run 300+ rwkw on 2.25" (60mm) hot piping and saw no increase when going to 3"

My stock intake pipe vacume shut at 254kw with gcg high flow. This resulted in major power drop from 5000rpm onwards. I have an r33 94 model and from what i have seen some stock intake pipes can handle this power and beyond and others let go. All depends on luck of the draw. I installed metal 3inch pipe inside stock intake but this mod did jack shit for me.

I went to Just jap and sourced an aftermarket rubber reinforced intake pipe and bolted it in. I run stock air box and everything looks factory to the untrained eye. Problems went away and works perfect now, full boost all the way . Yavuz from Unigroup engineering is recommending them to other customers with this common problem and similar set ups with 2.5 inch turbo inlets.

Installation only required some minor trimming of the black JJR intake pipe rubber to make perfect fitment. Im sure with this rubber intake you can run 290kw without any serious modification to intake set up, and you get to keep the stock air box(cops cream themselves over stock air boxes here in nsw)

These days it doesnt pay to look good so the trend is maximum power while maintaining stealth look.

Do you have a link to this Just Jap product?

Do you mean the silicone intake pipe: http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?p...=272&page=2

What do you mean the 3 inch pipe inside the stock intake did jack shit? Did it still suck closed? Or did it suck closed at the 2.5" section? Or did it just not make any more power?

I made a 3" to 2.5" alloy intake pipe on the weekend for my R33 and it now makes a billiontty more killerwasps... (not...)

Seat of the pants dyno says no different to stock rubber intake with a bit of 3" stainless pipe inside. But that is only at 10psi on the stock turbo so who knows...

Thats the same JJ intake pipe i used in my car, great product, highly recommended.

The three inch pipe inside my stock rubber intake did not rectify my vacume sealing. The small rubber section that slips onto the front of turbo was closing under boost after i did this modification. When i installed the JJ item, car performed beautiful all through rev range. No vacume syndrome and looks stealth. The JJ silicone pipe is reinforced and very thick. You will need to trim it and dummy fit a few times but it will look like magic once you get it to fit. Just take your time and dont butcher it.

I can arrange some photos if you get excited enough ....

30kw difference from changing intake pipe? If it was vacuuming shut thats understandable, but if its not its really hard to believe. Im running a 3076 with a 4 inch opening, running a reducer from turbo to a 3 inch stainless pipe going to afm into stock airbox. 281rwkw

Agree 100%, how can you get a 30kw gain from using a different intake pipe that is exactly the same size? The only difference is the material. The standard one must have been sucking shut.

Interesting you are running the stock airbox, I was doing some research on this forum and I found a post by you:

"Standard airbox is shit and restrictive. Car makes 280rwkw with the custom air intake I got, but with the standard airbox in it's own only made 270rwkw. I'll have my extra 10kw thanks. I got an intake setup that would pass you an EPA or a defect just because it looks like I have an airbox . If you wanna know it pm me

btw only talking about the standard r33 gtst airbox. Gtr ones are probably better hence you can make decent power with them withou being too restrictive."

What changed?

Thats the ticket, perfect solution.

Ok I suppose its less prone to sucking shut near the turbo, would be smoother and seems to have more space around the fittings so that they dont disrupt flow.

Does putting hose clamps around the flex part of the stock intake make much of an improvement for the people where it is sucking shut?

I'm getting a boost drop with my highflow and I'm not sure if it is just the wastegate blowing open or if it is something simpler like this.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
