Hey peeps,

Ive installed my new 2835 Pro S into my R33 RB25 along with a plazmaman plenum, I did a dummy fitment of the intake pipework last night and have found that the 3" intake pipe that comes with the Pro s kit is not going to mate up with my custom airbox or my BOV return pipe so I will have to get one fabricated with a bit of extra length and the ports for the BOV moved around a few degrees on the pipe.

Because I am already going to have to go through the hassle of getting pipework made up should I just get a 4" (100mm) intake pipe made so that its the same size as the compressor housing, then just run a reducer to the AFM or just keep it at 3"?(Actually the HKS pipe is 3.15" or 80mm)

Are there any downsides to running a large diameter pipe.

I have searched but it didnt really cover my particular case as such.

Thanks

bigger the better ! Hows things david? are you ditching the hypergear?? let me know how u go!!! i have a new stock highflow it runs pretty good man!! check out some of my drift videos!

:)

your AFM is still 3" so may as well just get a 3" pipe made up (Cheaper at least)

I just bought two 90 degree 1" hoses for my BOV return to get it to fit on the HKS Supplied intake pipe, had to cut the BOV return barb on the pipe down a bit but. I have a front facing plenum and my BOV located on the hot side of the intercooler, sorta right in front of and above the turbo. But without seeing your setup not sure if what I've done would work on your car

Hey Geraus! Long time no speak mate. Yeah time to upgrade, going 2835 and plazmaman plenum. The hypergear has been good but I want more power and I couldn't pass up the pro s when I found it.

Cal my bov is going on the cold side under the TB and then has a 38mm pipe running in front of the engine to plumb back into the intake. I'll post up some pics when the mrs gets off the computer.

I just went and fitted up the hotside pipe and I think 4" will be pushing it any way, not much room to play with. I was running a apexi super suction kit before and the hard pipe was pretty much the same shape as the standard soft pipe and my airbox was made to suit.

What I might be able to do is get a 80mm pipe made the same as the hks item but then add around 50mm of straight then a 30deg bend and it will mate up sweet with the afm then.

Dunno how well it will work I'll have to make up something out of PVC to see if it fits, anyone have any other opinions??

my 2835 came with the 3" intake with slots... so I used 3" and it all fitted the AFM using the HKS hardpipe all the way to the airbox.. using a silicon joiner here and there... may as well just use a reducer from the turbo intake, you still have to accommodate the afm anyways....

The problem I have is that my AFM now sits a lot further in towards the guard than it would in it's stock position, I think a little higher too.

I moved it when I built my airbox many moons ago so even with joiners the hks pipe won't reach, a PITA really but I don't won't to have to redesign an entire airbox just to fit an intake pipe. Not to mention the BOV port problem so I think the whole turbo side will have to be custom.

I used an arc airbox and it all bolts up in the stock airbox location and the hks hardpipe fits perfectly with afm in stock place... it made things nice and neat...

sounds like you dont have a choice but redo a new air filter location of sorts...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
