hey guys I'm looking into a new air intake and was just wondering wats the best way to go about it I was thinking to do a steel pipe from turbo to pod but what size pipe? Should I just go the size of the turbo mouth straight thought or should I make the pipe widen out and then back to pod size? should I put the pod down thought the intercooler pipe hole not in use (due to front mount) for cooler air?

Also how will this effect response? I have a stock turbo (r33s2) but it has a steel front wheel? If that helps

Cheers

Russ

well if it is a series 2 and the turbo has the steel front wheel it has either been highflowed, or replaced with a series 1 turbo (possibly the original turbo blew). unless the car is a 95 model, in which case it is actually a series 1.

anywho, as for the inlte pipe, you are best to make it about 3" as this is the size of the pod. as for placement, unless you have a few silicone joiners in it, it is best to have it in a relatively standard position. if you have it down behind the front bar and the pipe is rigid it will constantly hit on the body, as the motor doesn't stay 100% still.

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
