Yes that is what I mean. I don't understand why it is that uncommon as most information on the topic says that it's a good way to reduce the length of the inlet tract as having the plenum modified to face forward affects that incoming air's distribution amongst the cylinders.

yes thats correct but i havent seen any kits with it so i assume its custom and hence must be made up and therefore not often for sale - but hey we can hope, have you got the rest of the piping? do you know what material u r after - mild, stainless, aluminium?

btw you might recall I grabbed one of those rb20 eproms from u a while ago, havent hooked it up yet, waiting to get another ecu to play around with...

I have this setup on my R32. I got it custom made on the Gold coast. Any reputable fabricator should only take a day or two to make it for you but they will need your car. one other thing, I had to relocate my pcv.

Best bet..go down to a place like Liverpool Exhaust and grab some mild steel elbows. Grab a 180deg bend, and 3 x 90 deg bends all in 2.5" (2 will do it but better be safe then sure) Should cost about $80 all up.

Then bury yourself in the garage for 6 hours cutting and trial fitting. Once your done run down to local boilermaker/welder and get it welded up for a case of beer:)

So for max $150 you can get the pipe made up exactly how you want it:) And ceramic coating will cost about $60 on top of that...or you can paint it etc etc for cheaper.

Just be sure that if you go stainless that you have the right tools for cutting it etc, its much harder to work with then mild steel bends.

Otherwise your up for a custom farication, and you will be up for at least 4 hours labour + materials.:) ie more like $300 and then you have to be sure that they will ensure the fit clears the oil filler cap, your strut brace, breather hoses etc etc.

The old bonnet needed some of the reinforcement chopped to close the bonnet with the pipe going over the radiator, then up the j - pipe...I dont wanna chop the aluminium :D

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.

      This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find

      I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
