hi all

curious if any of the people that already have bought this product are on these forums. If you are, would love some feedback on them. They are significantly cheaper then samco's version, and still come with warrenty too.

RB26 silicon intake piping

Considering I've had Samco water hoses fail on 3 occasions, i highly doubt these would be any better

Factory is always best if you can get it/have it.

I am aware of R34gtt factory rubber intake piping "closing up" under high boost, are bnr34 rubber intake piping different in construction or otherwise and hence wont suffer from being "sucked in" under high boost environments? ie 1-1.2 bar on aftermarket turbos

I've run 25psi on stock GTR piping, no issues.

If you take the intake pipes off you'll see they are actually lined so they don't suck shut

And that's with -5 turbos too, so not small ones.

I would leave them stock or just go straight to aluminum ones which look and work better.I

the stock rubber intake pipes have a large spring/coil inside to stop them from collapsing.

im waiting on a set of aluminium intake hard pipes from japan that i ordered from Matt @ Newera parts

I'm using the hks-copy hardpipe intake kit you can get off eBay USA for around $270usd. My mechanic spent a number of hours fitting it, had to modify a bit so its not a TRUE Bolton kit, cost me a few hundred in his time to modify to fit correctly. Pretty happy with how it has turned out, and doesn't invoke turbo shuffle at this stage (n1 turbo rebuild kit, running-in tune). For an rb25 I guess the silicone intake would be ok (my rb25 has the metal intake kit from performance wise sau trader) but I wouldn't want to personally use the silicone intake on rb26 engines, but that's my opinion.
