The thing is though, it doesn't turn 2.5" until almost at the turbo, to allow space to smooth the flow out into the pissy little turbo as you've described. The intake on the stock turbo is exactly 2.5", and if you expanded it to 3" you'd get more air hitting the turbo, but you still need some way to channel it into a 2.5" hole.

Andrew has designed this for the best flow possible, but obviously the stock turbo isn't. If you had a high flow or a turbo with a larger intake you would keep it 3".

At this point in time this is the only intake option for people outside of Melbourne and Sydney, and it can be packed up and mailed off.

yeh scotts one is matched to the size of the inlet, and funnelled out, so this wall isnt hit at all..

but yeh, the option is great for others outside melbourne especially..even within melbourne for those that dont want to hit cut lol

Ok some results...

Before the tune, my economy had improved by 1-2L/100, and the car felt a lot stronger, particularly in the top end.

After tune it seems to have made a good difference, and it looks sexy to boot.

Any more takers?

Picking this up again after Christmas, hopefully there's a bit more interest post Christmas.

I've got Josh and Lukifer keen - need three more to make this happen.

I'll close this Feb 22 now, giving everyone about a month, and some time after Valentines Day for people's wallets to recover, for those tragic romantics out there.

Thanks!

What issues are you having?

If you're sticking with the same filters then the intake pipe shouldn't make the problem worse. Sounds like a problem with the oiled filters, not the AFM.

Hi all.

Next time a GB is started outside the GB area, it will just be locked by Admin/Mods without warning. We've told you guys enough now.

We have the section there for a purpose, we need to use it.

Nothing wrong at all with starting a thread in here to advise people to take a look or anything along those lines, just need them in the right area.

Also we will let this thread run it's course given it's not far off - but in future, please just do the right thing from the start.

Thanks.

Cheers mate. Weird that Andrew sells a lot of M35 stuff on ebay, and nothing on here.

So you can buy off eBay, or get in on the group buy and save $80. Thats *almost* a tank of fuel.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
