hey guys ive just recently switched to an r33 series turbo turbo from stock i know there isnt much difference in the turbso and stuff but i was just wondering what intake does every one use? im just using the standard rubber with a bend and AFM then pod but it seems to slightly kink the standard intake because its only a soft rubber. was just wondering if any one has some pictures of the intake setup they are you using.

Hey up matey, you can buy a hard rubber pipe one which is suppose to give it more flow, their are quite a few on ebay but they do cost quite a bit. I am thinking of getting one of these soon cause I can't see those bends in the stock pipe doing much good for the air flow.

a hot piece of 10cm metal is not going to effect the temp of the air being sucked in by a turbo spinning at 100,000rpm.

going by that theory, people with full metal intake pipes must blow up engines daily.

If you are that worried, you can wrap it with heat wrap for another $5 or get it HPC coated for a few extra dorra

just looked at the '$5 intake mod'. I was thinking wouldn't the metal pipe get really hot resulting in hotter air entering the turbo? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What makes you think metal heats faster and easier than thin rubber? It doesnt...so nothing to worry about.

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great. 
    • That makes sense. Thanks!
