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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
