blitz supra Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well here are the pics i said i'd put up of the pipe they made me, I have some more blue silicone pipe on its way though as they didn't have any 12mm ID in blue for the pipe from my engine breather to the hardpipe, so we left the standard one on for the moment, but it is a little short. Whats good i think about the this pipe is they have allowed all the vac pipes to be reconnected as per factory. I am very pleased with it, sounds great , looks great and appers to respond a little better lower done the revs, feels more crisper. p.s Hey Holmer, cheers I can now put pics up as your help with resizing was much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Looks good mate - I did something similar with mine - further forward and with a heatshield and the flooring cut out to allow even more cool air in from the vent below :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 nice looking engine , but youll get better performance by dumping that green filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The pipe is approx 3" too short. We played with induction lengths just last week. Not picking here just offering GENUINE ROLLING ROAD PROVEN FACT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not picking here just offering GENUINE ROLLING ROAD PROVEN FACT. No probs but what do you mean? The Stainless pipe, how does length effect it ? and by 3in ? It was made to fit like that as the position of the HKS filter and housing is pre-determinded by its mounting bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 you mind me asking how much it cost? £80.00 +vat custom made inc Silicone hoses and fixings while you wait @ Turbofit Milton Keynes. Its the Silicone parts that add considerably to the cost, The actual manufactuer of the pipe was quick... very quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Now that is Very nice anychance of letting us no where you got the pipe ( as im needing one after seeing how good it looks ) As said in the thread.. Turbofit I did say to them they should make these and have off the shelf, as there are alot of NA owners who want one but no one does one, I reckon these would look good to even if you still had your standard Airbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 That's very intresting, can you put up the dyno sheets so we can have a look?? NO sheets available as it was for our development, but if you take it right up to the plenum you loose around 5BHP. INduction length is suited per car, so it is very critical.

imi Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 does the stock ENCLOSED airbox on the NA have a cold air feed like the TT box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 does the stock ENCLOSED airbox on the NA have a cold air feed like the TT box? Yes it has 2 the same as the TT, one under the headlight, the other above the rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 does the stock ENCLOSED airbox on the NA have a cold air feed like the TT box? Not a feed as such, unlike Ram-Air, but there are 2 cold air sources in the stock airbox yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if that's how it's done does that mean if you take 3" off the stock length you lose 0.7bhp?? Think i can live with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I would say probably the only way to test for gain/loss is dyno the car directly before and after fitment, other than that it is the placebo effect that makes you think you have made some gain, if you look what mkivstore are doing with Jody's SZ this is the right way to see gains with various mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
