Group Buy, AFM to TURBO Duct

[LBR33]

I dont need the duct anymore as im getting one made when my fmic goes on tommorow

[3R1K]

there is no apexi suction kit for r34 gtt

[knore]

Hey bass how much can u get the silicon set for? (turbo and afm side, no clamps)

Just doing some enquiring

[Gts-t]

[quote name=knore

And what if i did create my own afm pipe? Goto my gallery and see half the custom things we've made' date=' i sure as hell have more of an intention and drive to make my own things for my car than you do

QUOTE]

Knore, put down your super cheap socket set and have a think for once before u spam the board with your nuggz... And good luck on the custom crap too, im sure you have a workshop, dyno, two hoists, air lines, power tools etc that i have :flamed:

Ive been working at our shop since u where in primary school dude, so bring it on

And about the reducer, the gt-rs is a bolt on kit therefore using the standard turbo to AFM pipe. As what bass is making replaces this rubber pipe it will fit the gt-rs turbo. But hey i thought that would have been completely obvious too.

hey bass out hows my stock pipe piece going let me know when i can get it back, by the way in about two weeks i'll be doing a full engine swap i can take my intake pipe piece off and take a couple of pics for ya if ya like ..... remember i already had a custom one made

[Bass Junky]

Jager.

If you need it back I can send it right away.

I'm about to trial fit the R34 version maybe this week or early next. I don't think I will need the R33 version after that.

But if you need it, I will send it immediately.

Cheers

Hi Bass Junky

sorry im going to have to pull out of getting a pipe for my 32.

I will be buying a rb25 Neo engine in the near future, and then I will possibly purchase one then off you.

thankyou kindly

Mark

p.s sorry for the inconvenience

[Bass Junky]

Hey ppls.

Well, I just fitted the prototype pipe to my car and unfortunatly they way I have made it will not work.

The BOV and PCV valve return hoses join the standard pipe too close to the turbo inlet snout and they would go through silicone joiner.

I would be able to do it another way but it would mean cutting the standard BOV and PVC steel pipes and this would mean that returning the car to standard would not be possible and that's not what I want to do.

So, I have decided to change the style of the duct from a full replacement to a small replacement section which get's splicted into the standard rubber duct.

This will mean cutting the standard rubber duct and removing a section, but it will be much easier than cutting the steel pipes.

The small section will be much like the one that a certain magazine made.

It will be much cheaper than the original design and will also be almost invisible.

I have to run now, but I will posts more details and pictures of way the original design would not work early next week when I'm back to work.

Sorry guys, but sometimes things don't go to plan.

Anyway, see some of you at the cruise tomorrow.

Ahhh yeah I know what you mean, possibly why "that magazine" did it the way they did?

[Bass Junky]

I reckon it's exactly why that magazine did it that way

[jager]

i had the bov and the other return air thingy, moulded or welded in to one so they join at the one point, if you like on the 21st of jan weekend i will be changing engines i can take a pic of how it looks on the car and the welded section and the pipe by itself as i have to take everything off to get my engine out.

let me know if ya want this done as ill send you pics of it so you can see it this time

[Bass Junky]

Okay, I'm back at work, so I've downloaded the photos to my computer.

Have a look at the fit of the pipe.

It was spot on but the BOV and PCV returns were in just the wrong spot.

I was hoping that I would only have to cut a little of the silicone back, but unfortunatly, it's imporrible to do what I'm trying to do.

So, What I'm going to be doing is modifying the original Rubber Duct to include a section of aluminium pipe.

Basically I will supply the aluminium pipe and hose clamps required, along with pretty detailed instructions on how to cut and shut the original duct.

This will mean modifying the original pipe without the possibility of returning it to stock, but at the end of the day, the pipe isn't the big problem. Cutting the BOV and PCV return pipes would be more of a pain in the arse.

Okay, so obviously this is going to be much cheaper than the original style I was planning on, as there is no silicon hoses, half the number of hose clamps, and the section of aluminum is much much smaller and easier to make.

I'm not going to guesstimate a price at the moment, but it will be cheap as.

Again, the kit will include all required parts to complete the mod, apart from a Stanley knife and the like.

I apologise for the change of plans, and anybody who wants to pull out of the buy is quite welcome to, as I havn't spent all that much money yet.

Cheers

[Bass Junky]

Oh yeah,

This is another shout out to try to find an R34 GTT standard Rubber Duct.

The doner will be supplied with a free steel duct and have the standard rubber duct freighted back and forth for free.

I will need it for one week.

(I'd use mine but my car is a daily driver and my missus uses her car most days)

[adznight]

You can have mine, just let me know when so I can plan to be without my baby, haha.

[Bass Junky]

Hooly Dooly.

I'll get the R32 and R33 ones done first, cos I have samples of both here with me now.

Once I get them sorted, I'll get into the R34.

Probably a couple of weeks away.

[burnfest]

would you still be able to make the old design if someone doesnt need bov and pcv lines? or is it to much of a hassle?

[Bass Junky]

Hey guys,

Burnfest, it has taken me quite a while to get to where I am with the initial design.

To do all the running around for a couple of pipes without BOV and PCV would be hell in a hand basket. I'd love to say I could do it, but this isn't my full time job so I can't committ as much time to it as I'd like too. Sorry burn.

R32 and R33 rubber ducts are now down at the fabricators and I have discussed where they should be cut and stuff. The R32 has about 45 degrees and a straight, and the R33 is pretty straight forward.

The R34 will be like the R33 but I can't get that one down to the fabicators until I can put my car or Adzmax's car off the road for about a week, and in the next couple of weeks, isn't the time for that.

SO. I hope to have a prototype of each of the R32 and R33 pipes about Tuesday week.

I'd say with the ease that these are going to be made the price is going to be great!

Anyway,

Have a good weekend all.

PS As always, if anybody want's to pull out, please let me know, at this stage it's no problem.

Too late to add myself to the list, or take the spot of someone who has pulled out? Interested in getting one for my 34.

[Zebbie]

Sign me up for a R33 one please.
