^^^ thats a front facing plenum like a factory GTR one, rb25's have side facing plenum - disadvantages are intake pipe has to cross over hot motor, makes everything tighter and have to take it off every time for spark plugs...and more intake piping apparently makes car a touch laggier (for turbos).

Lots of problems fitting one of those unless its an expensive one that is known to fit well.

factory plenum does not need to be changed unless going for over 300kw+...seeing as this is the N/A forum going to bet not.

I dont go on here much, my question was.. would it work to replace the pipe from my throttle body to my intake filter with intercooler pipe?

I dont expect it to make any performance difference, i just want my engine bay to look better and not so boring

yes, the car will work, the current pipe you have with the large box attached is a suppressor I'm quite sure (someone correct me if wrong). you can get the standard 2.5 or 3' metal pipe and use that instead. make sure you put the afm back on when you put it back together...

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
