That dolphin pipe only replaces the rubber part at the top of the stock intake, see below. If you remove the rubber part you will see its very smooth inside and actually flows pretty well.

The lower part is the issue, it limited me to 200awkw as it is only 45 odd mm diameter, much smaller than the front wheel on most highflows. I have been making aftermarket intakes for a few of the guys, mine is 80mm and flowing 300awkw on ethanol atm.

yeh I thought long and hard about getting the Dolphin one too.....as Cam said it will improve the flow but it will still be limited.

I opted to go with Scott for mine as I have a H/F and I wanted to match the intake side of the turbo to the intake pipe diameter. Scott's pipe made a pretty big difference to my car right through the range.

P.S. For around the same money as the Dolphin one you could get a custom one made in Australia that will go all the way down to the turbo.

It looked a bit small compared to the pics of Scott's. Thankyou for the comments gentlemen you have saved me wasting money. They are shinier though......

Had thought one of the custom dumps when ready and improved flow to turbo would make sense as first steps and not affect warranty.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
