Good intake pipes aye. The 3 inch metal pipe fits snug inside it so not restricting it.

I Can supply if u like

There was no issue's with holding boost. Just how i set it up with the boost controll. Car feels like more than 200kw on the road.

It does feel really fast. And to think I got so much advice before I highflowed to get a bigger turbo, but I love the response of this unit.

Nice and torquey too

Fun!

Where did you get this intake pipe? I need a few my self.

In this case not sure if by using high pressure actuator holding more boost uptop would gain abit more kws, but that would be about the limit from high flowing a R32 GTT turbo.

I have a GCG highflowed R32 rb20det turbo that makes about ~235kw on 18psi dropping to 15psi by redline on an rb25det. Can hold 18-20psi to redline just haven't had a chance to get it tuned with that to see what it can make. I am 100% sure it is an rb20det turbo so you could probably squeeze a slightly bigger rear wheel in there if they managed to.

It has the valve on the compressor housing?

The Rb20det's high flow profile is smaller then what we normally do on RB25det. it can be made bigger, how ever the drivability would turn bad as its missing 0.5L and no VCT enhancing down low.

Rb25det would make power lot easier, Rb20dets are generally 20% behind in power.

I'm quite happy with how do the RB20 high flow :)

Tis a neat looking pipe. Can I assume correctly that this should fit an RB25 all the same? If so, what would you sell one for?

Isnt that intake pipe just a bit of straight 3" pipe with 2x45 degree silicone bends cut to the right lengths?

I would be a little bit worried about the silicone bends bending under cornering and acceleration load. Mine just uses a 90 degree metal bend but with fittings welded on so that the bov and pcv lines can be attached.

does that look like a metal intake pipe to you? :glare:

any competent exhaust shop can make up an intake pipe for you.

should cost anywhere from $100-$150~

yes it does..when you know how to look further.......cut that silicon sucker in half, get a short length 3" metal pipe and put those 2 'joiners' on both ends.. easy isnt it?? Thats how you create a backyard metal intake pipe that should work - refer cherring's car a page earlier on this thread.

I was set out to make my own and after figuring it out its not too hard. To use all your stock oil breather and BOV return, just get a 3" metal intake pipe with 90degree bend, stick it in the front of the turbo and cut the breather and return where they touch the pipe. The pieces you cut off form the nipples to attach your shit back onto. Any workshop will charge little to nothing to weld these on(if you know someone with the welder).

Don't bother trying to make any fancy bends to fit shit. Trust me a 3" 90degree pipe fits the z32 and apexi filter snuggly.

if you're gonna spend $60 on this + 3" pipe to cut and fit in, why not just do that with the stock intake pipe, its been done many times before on here, theres even a DIY thread about it.

I did read somewhere that even with the $10 intake mod (stock pipe cut in half with metal pipe stuck in the middle), those rubber bends STILL suck close and dont work for everyone...

Both are pointless and shit ideas. I tried the half metal half stock(the bigger end). According to Tao, this is a loss of 65rwkw from back to back tests he done. I made 244rwkw. Add 60rwkw you get 304rwkw from the SS2. Ive got it sorted now, full 3" metal just need a retune.

Good idea - I was also thinking of using a 3" 90 deg bend from supercheap for $27 something and get an exhaust place to weld on those annoying breather nipples..just worried about the fit..

Ooops -thats actually a 45 deg piece, they do have them 90deg pieces in aluminium

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
