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'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
