Sucked Shut Hose Counter Meassure

Hello,

I fitted a larger hybrid turbo recently and was told that

the intake rubber hose tends to collapse under the vacuum.

I weighted my options for a replacement but could not find anything I liked or was willing to pay for.

So I came up with the following:

After taking measure I bought a 76mm aluminium hose joiner (100mm long)

I then lubricated the inside of the rubber hose with oil and slid the joiner inside the hose.

It is a very tight fit and it took me about 15 minutes to get the joiner in.

After everything looked nice I degreased the inside of the hose to get rid of any excess oil

and make the aluminium joiner less prone to slippage.

I could image using an aerodynamically more advanced profile for the joiner, but at current it does the job.

As you can see from the pictures the outside of the intake hose is a bit bulging which is not a

problem and helps airflow.

It's a quick fix to a possible issue .. cheap and efficient and non destructive :)

I like this idea more than the rev210 one TBH.

I think as long as that joiner has a larger OD than the ID of the turbo snout your in business!

Would work great for any entry level highflows IMHO. Good work.

The lower bend will still suck shut at around 250kw but that setup will work quite well up till then. :thumbsup:

Hi there,

The lower end looked quite rigid to me ...

Does it really collapse > 250KW?

And if the vacuum is really that high, does't that mean a huge restriction?

Cheers from London ..

The vacuum must be immense, I had to laugh at GuiltToy's video of the pod filter collapsing on the dyno.

I would love to modify my stock airbox to fit two panel filters, or design a new one. That should halve the vacuum I guess.

I will see how the hose does on the dyno.

Maybe another tube might help ..

Heat shielding would also be an option .. though the pipe get constant fresh air from the sucktion ..

Is there an alternative to the whole setup?

(While keeping the airbox?

its a combo of heat from the manifold heat softening the rubber and the vacuum on that

mine is sleeved twice with 3 inch exhaust pipe, at both sections of ribbing

Funny video ..

Maybe the airfilter was an el chepo type with no proper mechanical foundation?

In this thread Stevoss made up a custom metal intake pipe to connect the airbo to the turbo intake:

As a few people said in the linked thread, that is not easy to do as it must join the airbox at exactly the right location on the right angle.

I thought Hypergears example was to connect a pod filter not the stock airbox??

So using a couple of 3" aluminum pipping should help to stiff the intake rubber ...nice have some from work and they don't have ribsat the end may give it a go and put one in the middle and one in the elbow before the return of the BOV ,but my main compain is if they are going to move for not having the ends ...

its all under vacuum so you just won't be able to pressurise the system pre-turbo to do boost leak tests

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
