pretty sure that the first bend of the piping is the original hard piping yes. BOV return has been welded up though!

Ah nice one! That was where i thought nah too hard basket. Pics or ban :D

Should have listened to you Manuel and Tao!

Had my car on the dyno yesterday and with the sleeved factory intake pipe it would not make more than 250rwkw as the part close to the turbo where it is still 2.5" is sucking shut. Bugger!!

Off to get a custom intake made up and back on the dyno.

i thought you said you made 279rwkw (in your first post)?

That was with a temporary custom 3" intake pipe. The problem is that it did not have spots for the bov return and the breather which I want. So then I tried putting the factory intake back on with the pipe inside. That is when it would not make more than 250rwkw and I know which just the 3" intake changed it made 279rwkw.

First setup:

Custom 3" intake, bov blocked off and breather hose to atmosphere.

279rwkw

Second setup:

Factory intake with pipe, all factory fittings so bov and breather connected to intake as per factory

250rwkw with intake sucking shut.

Next setup:

3" metal intake with bov and breather fittings.

What filter are you using?

Apexi Power Intake

Trent said he had seen some big power setups with this pod so didnt think it was a problem.

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.

Do these metal rings do anything?? This pipe is exposed to suction not boost. I would have thought metal rings on the outside of the hose would only help under boost, ie to stop it bulging out as much? The JJR one looks to just be a rebranded Autobahn 88 one. I bought one of the Autobahn ones a while back and wasn't impressed by the fit (or lack thereof) at all. No matter how I tried to trim it the thing just didn't sit right.

I have issues with power dropping off and then coming back above 5000rpm which sounds similar to the issue mentioned previously. I have a 3" piece of stainless in the large ID section of the standard intake pipe so maybe I'm having issues with the smaller end near the bend closing? I'm running 18-20psi with a GT2530 but only getting 200rwkw so somethings holding it back.. figure isn't on the intake side or the exhaust side.

Anyone else used one of these intake pipes with the metal rings? If so I'd love to hear about any opinions of what they have experienced.

The metal clip goes in between the ribs so if the pipe was to suck shut it would pull the ribs together and have to squash the metal ring, obviously there isn't enough suction to do that so it should work fine.

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
