Nismo R Tune Intake Duct

[No Crust Racing]

I am slightly obsessed with the idea of this for some reason after selling off my ARC box to go back to stock (with Apexi panel filter).

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nismo-rb26dett-engine-parts-r-tune-air-cleaner-duct.html

Has anyone ever done a back to back dyno test vs the stock snorkel? I'm interested if it makes any different what so ever.

Car will be running -9s on stock intake piping. I'm mostly interested in response.

I doubt it will make much difference at that power. No panel at all made 20kw difference compared to an old dirty one at 500awkw.

Fair assumption, but what I'm after is someone who has done a real world test.

I can't deal with the what if lol

I was also considering buying one then making a mould so we can all just ave one because it looks nice

Nismooooooooo

But seriously. A bees dick difference.

If you really want to know ask your tuner to do a run with snorkel and then remove snorkel to see back to back

I knew I couldn't avoid you with this question...

[Piggaz]

I'm with Scotty here.

Buy a front diff instead.

For all that hectic track work I'll be doing.

I knew I'd get these responses from the usual offenders, but I'm still holding out hope that someone has actually tested this.

If for no other reason than my satisfaction.

[Hadouken]

I think people who bought this didn't do it for power gains.

Think of it this way maybe, the hole in the airbox is still the same size. So it's like putting a funnel on a straw in a way

I'd say the chance of someone doing a back to back dyno run after a cosmetic change would be slim...

It's got nothing to do with track work.

For what it's worth you'd be better modifying the two pipes that bolt to the compressor housing instead of the snorkel.

The snorkel from the guard to the airbox, has that been opened up?

I've seen people refer to it as a visual mod as well which makes me wonder where Nismo gets this from?

"The NISMO Air Cleaner Duct Reduces Compressor intake pressure by 30 percent at the moment of boost pressure, also decreases air-path pressure."

Then what? Avoiding exploding diff/ruined sump?

The rubber intake pipes or the metal pipes that connect the twin turbo pipe to each comp housing?

Guard port is opened.

lol not at all, I just knew he couldn't avoid a Nismo thread

[Hadouken]

Love snismo.

Twin turbo pipe divider is what he's talking about.

[No Crust Racing]

Oh, yeah I have that, Came with the turbo kit.

[Hadouken]

Sell to me and you buy Nismo I take kit?

Ahh OK. That's something I can look at doing.

Also good to note that Hadouken was wrong about what he thought you meant.

You two should get a room

[Hadouken]

Dang. That's what I get for assuming.

That's probably cheaper than nismo snorkel
