Need To Get New Intake Pipe For 2835 Pro S

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

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...

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
