SkyJawa Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Ah - see what you mean now - I suppose you could also pad out the pipe to "thingy" with some electrical tape too to make the seal. I'll have a play Managed to get 2 metres of Vacuum hose too from Camberley Auto Factors so in business there as well Top bunch of chaps actually, heartily recommend em at the Guildford branch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I don't know what difference it makes, but mine is installed vaguely where the green circle is on the picture below. Is there any kind of benefit having it where the red arrows are instead of the green circle? (how's THAT for a technical explaination?!) http://www.web-axis.net/~pulse/suprapipe.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Mines on a metal pipe that I think is to replace the intake pipe into the throttle body.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I think it sounds louder if it is mounted near the throttle body.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 The small pipe can go to the manifold one that was pictured earlier , The HKS kit comes with one blanking plug so you would only need to find one other, i made some brass blanking plugs for mine and used silicon hose.

SkyJawa Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 Cheers Dude - I'll have a play to see what I can do then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 Had a go, theres no way that pipe is going on Its about the right size, but the silicon piping on it is too small for the bits on the car it needs to go on to - it 6cm wide and doesn't stretch much. So. I guess I need some new piping. Can you get samco hoses that are about 6cm, widening out to enough to go on the intercooler pipe and the throttle body?

Rob_B Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Managed to get it sorted yet mate ? Rgds, Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 No The silicon is too small on the pipe to fit on the car so I need to get hold of some samco reducing straight pipes Try that at this time of year Hopefully not too much longer though.......

BigMoistyturbo Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Sorry to hi jack but I'm not really techie minded...does this mean you can 2 dump valves? So when you let your foot off it sounds twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 You can have 2 valves - normally one push type and one pull type (or something!) So you have say a blitz and an HKS, you won't get 2 dumps but both going off together. Only really for high power though I think, but its pointless to leave the OEM one in and run that with the HKS........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 The pipes and bits that came with the kit all fit. They are tight but they're supposed to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I'm runnung an Apexi BOV in the same location as your intended hks and also i still have the stock bov in place. What's the supposed problem with the stock one still in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 From what I read mate, people just thought it was pointless to fit an aftermarket one and leave the OEM in place...... Dunno if there are any specific issues........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Ive been told its fine to leave the stock one in place if you have an aftermarket one near the throttle body or intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
