Custom titanium intake

[Sleepergm]

Hi all,

 

does anyone know a shop that can make me up a custom intake and turbo inlet piping. Similar to the one in the photo below. I would need it shipped overseas also so would not be able to bring the car in. 
 

Thanks

Surely there would have to be some sort of custom fabrication shop around your area that would be able to do this.

Unfortunately not. Was hoping there would be a shop in Australia that I could enlist with the work and then ship the parts in. Thanks

The trouble is, custom is custom. The pipes have to join onto other pipes, so you kinda need/want the car there to make sure that that happens. No-one has a 3D virtual model or a mockup jig of what you neen it to fit.

Yes hoping someone had a stock r32 around to make up the pipes and then fit to that car … then send to me. If u know what I mean.

Yeah that can be a go, you'll just need to reassure the shop they are not on the hook for fitment issues. The turbo outlet Y pipe to intercooler should be pretty safe, you just adjust the cooler piping to match.

Turbo inlets from Pods don't have to be that exact because while the pod is mounted, it doesn't have to be in an exact location.

Having said that....I don't have a suggestion of a Ti fab shop so I'm not much help

Where about are you located exactly?

you could try contact dahtone racing through facebook as he gets a lot of specialized fab work done and he ships his DBW inlet kits overseas

get a local shop to make exactly what you want in mild steel or alloy then find a quality ti fabricator and send them the templates

Yeah that’s even tough. I mean we aren’t even really allowed to upgrade our rims in hk. Hence not a lot of shops that can do the work.

fair enough, here is a greddy template guess you order one of these then campaign a ti fabricator to copy it, expensive way to go about it

Hi, just checking.
Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.

No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.
