Hey Guys,

I'm looking at getting all of my intake piping either made up or buying a kit depending on recommendations and others experiences. Currently my intercooler piping goes through the stock holes near the POD filter. I wanted to change this so I can make a custom intake box. I'd also like to get a hard piped CAI but not sure where to get one from or if anyone knows where I should go to get one made up. If anyone has any idea's or tips regarding this I'd appreciate it. I've checked Ebay but I'm not really interested in cheap "clip together" pipes that are for sale.

Located in Southern Adelaide.

Piping is for S2 RS4

Cheers,

James.

Also, AM Performance were going to do one for me. Give Andrew a call, 0401865373.

His workshop is at Greenwith, so not South, but worth travelling for.

Cheers for the tip Ryan, I'll be sure to get a quote from him.

Obviously I'd like to travel as close as possible due to work every day.. But if it's worth the trip I'm sure I can organize something.

Does he also do Silicone hosing and fixtures, etc.. I'm looking at Updating my Engine Bay if possible, but haven't been able to find decent workshops anywhere.. It's always a case of either trying to rip me off or just do dodgy work...

Cheers for the help!

I can vouch for Andrew's work, top notch stuff.

He mainly does performance mods and fabrication, primarily exhausts and dump pipes, so I'm sure the fixtures are fine. Not sure about the silicone hosing but won't hurt to ask!

Tell him Ryan with the M35 sent you.

honestly mate, for all the stuff your looking at doing you'd be better off just converting it all back to stock. the factory airbox is not a restriction and it comes with its own CAI. plus it wont cost anything if u still have the bits. :thumbsup: ive got no idea where the rumor that pods give u more power came from but it just isnt true. try them out back to back (stock VS pod) next time ur on the dyno.

Yeah man I understand from a power point of view, but I'm not looking at doing the piping for any power gains, I'm doing it to tidy up my engine bay. The stock stuff is fine but if I wanted a car to keep stock then I would have bought something else.

Cheers for the advice though.:thumbsup:

Meant to ask Ryan, You still parking at Topham?

Lol was there today. That's usually where I park if I drive in, but I only drive in once every 2-3 months, when I have heaps of stuff to carry in. Too expensive to drive in and park every day.

Yeah man my wallet is usually pretty light after parking there but unfortunately for me, I'm a creature of convenience. And starting work at 4:50am means no buses.. :glare:

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
