Hey

Recently had my turbo highflowed via hypergear n the responce is awsome,

he did advise to change the standard intake pipe which is rubber to metal (and larger diameter)

has anyone done this? and could they point me in the right direction about where to buy one?

any help would be great,

Cheers

be careful if you have a nice shiny straight peiece of metal as the intake ducting

the standard intake pipe has accordian style bends in it to avoid afm signal reversion

if you put in a nice perfect straight piece of metal it will cause reversion of the AFm signal and make the car run like ass

good advice, i was planning on moving the AFM to the cold side of the cooler piping, just b4 the blowoff valve

so pretty much, pod-> pipe-> turbo

guess size dnt matter cos i'll have to use some silicon hose to narrow it down into the turbo?

cheers all

just keep the standard intake pipe with the afm in the standard position. if it sucks closed then put a small piece of exhaust pipe in the middle of it, theres a guide on here.

you do not need a bigger intake pipe with a highflow

nothing at all dodgy about it. you cut the stocker pipe, put an offcut of exhaust pipe in there and hose clamp both parts of the intake pipe to it.

intake pipe wont change what airflow the afm maxxes out at, once again stocker would actually be better than a metal pipe as it has the ribs in it to stop any reversion

yer i have a metal intake pipe and also dont have any issues but i made sure it was nice and long with a decent bend in it. but the only reason i made one was to suit the 4" intake on my turbo. if you have a small turbo inlet theres no reason to use a metal pipe

Get a metal intake pipe and relocate AFM and BOV. If you are concert about cop problems dyno tune your car with 3inch metal pipe and pod before putting the REV210 metal sleeved stock intake pipe back on. Stao explained side affects of it into detail with dynosheet comparasm and users comment in his tread as well as installation notes on AFM and BOV relocation. Have a read in this thread. from memory its in page 39 & 43.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
