Can anyone help me locate or find out who builds those 6 to 4 inch intake pipes? I'm lead to believe it's a bloke out of W.A. and I'm having no luck finding out who and where, because I would really love to get my hands on one. Thanks in advance.

Trying to locate a picture. In the current HPI mag a silver r32 has got one, pretty sure the red r32 gtr from w.a. clallled renegade has got one etc. It's 6inch at the pod and has a rapper down to 4inch then a pipe welded on that has a curve.

....No I'm not. I'm looking for it because the shape is perfect for my setup and secondly most places on the sunshine coast don't put this quality of workmanship into things they do. They're too slap happy. Also I have a 6inch short pod sitting at home given to me. So it's not about wank factor or any crap like that. That's just a premature naive assumption.

I could make it, but unless you are pushing 11ty kw an 80mm intake will do the job. I have run mine up to 400+kw easily, and the engine bay remains stealth. I am guessing you have a huge top mount though?

A funnel like that isn't going to improve flow much from my experience, just get you defected on the road. If it's a track car, go for your life.

Yes I am running a big high mount. Efr 8374 to be exact. Legally, as long as the pipe is secure it is legal. The object is to start this thing at 380 to 400 awkw and go from there. Assuming based on area and potential cfm flow I could see how it would potentially work with higher power levels, thus would be beneficial to buy one intake pipe and fit it, then go through 2 or 3 setups to alleviant better airflow from restrictions later down the track. I also have custom pipe work needed to be done too. You in qld Scott?

      Rb25det neo issue tps voltage

      By Gram · Posted

      hey GTSboy thanks for the quick reply. im on stock ECU  Surprisngly enough i unplug everything and replug everything, readings are still off but the car drove...ok haha So far this is what i have done. - Replaced ECU (still 1.5v) - Replaced Boost sensor (still 1.5v) Now the next thing i tried is to unplug the TPS and only plug in the Boost sensor to see if it reads 5v. No it still only read 1.5v.  Its a new boost sensor and i know i have 5v if i dont plug the sensor back in, so that means the power wire is good. So now im thinking that it might be a bad ground on the boost sensor plug.  on the FSM says the ground to the boost sensor is  a sensor ground, can i add a ground wire from the boost sensor ground wire to the the engine itself to ground it? or chassis?

      OK, so, assuming that there is nothing wrong with either the original or new boost sensor, then it would seem that there might be something wrong in the loom wiring to that sensor. This is troublesome, because if that were true, then you might expect the problem to persist when the sensor was unplugged. But seeing as the voltage comes good when it is unplugged, it would suggest that the fault might (and I stress might) be right at the loom plug. Either that, or the fault might be at the ECU, on the line in from the boost sensor. When you unplug the boost sensor, that input at the ECU is isolated from the TPS sensor and can't affect it. This would be semi-bad, as an ECU problem is never welcome, but at least you'd know where the problem is and it might be fixable, or at least replaceable. Do you have Nistune, or any other way of looking at ECU data? I'd want to drive the car around with the boost sensor unplugged and see the TPS working properly, then not working properly with the sensor plugged back in. You're not trying to run more than ~18 psi either? Right? Because even with Nistune that can be difficult with the boost sensor connected. Just checking, in case it might have some bearing on the issue. It shouldn't cause the voltage situation you're seeing though.

      Then sell it and buy a BMW! I can totally relate to this (except the money part! ). I think for me I need to remind myself that I do enjoy the process and to stop being so damn impatient and eager to get it done. That just leads to frustration and broken stuff.  Built not bought. Wait.  Fixed, not fought? No ... Definitely fighting things. Definitely not fixed, I give up. Cars are pain.
