hi, i been trying to search but havnt come up with anythin, i would like to know if anyone has got rid of all that platic n rubber intake and changed it to metal or different piping? or if it is possible? i have got a NA r34 and want to get rid of all the stock intake because since i fitted my extractors some of it is now startin to touch the extractors. Any info/links would be good

since the original post on this topic, I have done this modification to my R33, it now has a 3" mandrel bent intake pipe.

I can't say you will loose power but you will loose a bit of low end torque and fuel economy, but on the up side the intake noise sounds awesome at high revs :(

Rach, you know people are gonna be asking for pics so if you can that would be great.

I'll probably have more questions for you after seeing your setup as I too am planning the metal intake pipe except I will be swapping out the 34 NA airbox for a 34 turbo airbox. I also am yet to have my headers and custom exhuast done.

righto here are a couple of pics, nothing fancy under the hood might look a bit weird with the heater wrap around the intake pipe, but ithere's a practical reason for it, it stops the heat soak issues I was having.

Your catch can is installed incorrectly.

yep I know, it was set up like this by my mechanic and it was set up wrong, it does absolutly nothing the way it is set up, I'm looking into getting a bigger Catch can (2L) that is suitable for motorsport use, and getting it installed properly so nothing is vented back into the intake, but the problem is to find a place that has enough room for it to be mounted.

Correct Install

PIC HERE

many high ranking sau members seem to think this is the way to do it.. Seems that the reason is because at low speed and off boost the pcv is sucking air in through the catch can.. solving nothing

I think your method is best use in a atmospheric venting catch can

    • I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.
    • There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.  
    • I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.
    • New DW300 Fuel pump, new fuel tank lid, new plastic lock all on the way!!! I'll be on ramen noodles for a week but at least my car will have a fresh fuel pump in over 20 years! Thank you everyone for your input ❤️
