Hey guys, so apparently I need a metal intake pipe as the stock plastic one is too small and can collapse under pressure with the new, larger turbo (ATR43SS). Wondering if anyone's done a DIY using silicon joiners and steel piping and would like to part any feedback. Also wondering if the return BOV and breather line are essentials ? Or can I simply make the intake, block the BOV and get a catch can to bypass the issues ? Thanks for any information.

It's on a rb25det pod filter setup

Search for 'Scotty's metal intake' on these forums or PM scotty nm35. He's made hundreds, they're cheap, have all the breather and pod adapters and are great quality. I run mine on a very similar set up to yours by the sounds of things. I have pics if you find my build thread

I've spoken to Scotty, but considering he's in Melbourne and im in sydney it would be a little hard to ensure right specifications and stuff. What do you guys think of blocking the BOV and getting a catch can to get rid of the lines into the intake ?

I'm in Sydney. Seriously just get him to make it and be done with it, he's made hundreds for people on the forums, if he couldn't ensure 'the specifications and stuff' don't you think someone would have mentioned it?

His specs are spot on, all my breather lines and BOV return fit perfectly with no mods and it works perfectly. Don't make this any harder than it needs to be

Truthfully, get Scott to make one, and then alter your setup to make it fit right IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF it doesn't.

It will be far easier and a better solution to do it that way, and re-adjust your setup to fit the scotty pipe if there's some part that is out by 2mm here or there.

Hrm breather line and bov return needs to be cut, there's no way around it unless you use a soft intake pipe

Correct, otherwise the BOV/Breather hardpipes would somehow be inside the intake and facing the wrong angle causing AFM reversion.

I tried to make an 80mm intake that would look as stock as possible using all the stock parts. Seems to flow well too, ^^ Gregs made very good power yesterday, using the stock airbox. :)

Got your graph up yet mate? I think you made more power though one of my rb25 80mm intakes intakes than anyone before. Usually I would be suggesting a 4 inch with pod by now, but it wouldn't look stock at all. Your car is about a stealth as 400+kw gets, and it's auto... Blows my mind what Ethanol can do. :P

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
