turbo pipes?

[veegeeta]

not sure about the others but im ready to buy right now if you are something ive been after for a long time now.

Sweet, sounded like there was a couple other 'maybes' but they seem to have gone quiet now lol.
Sampa are you still using the standard airbox or have you had a look to see how much clearance there is? I wish I still had a standard box around to see!

[sampsulo]

yes i am...still standard airbox.....what clearance would you like me to measure for you?

Do you think you could take a photo of the standard pipe and airbox in place? Particularly how close together they are? You will need to take off the plastic pipe that comes off the throttle body and the flexi pipe thats joined to that to get a clear view. While its off try measuring across the standard pipe, 65mm wide near where it joins at the top. If you imagine the standard pipe being 65mm wide all the way down instead of that weird shape it should give you a good idea if it would fit.

@veegeeta I can go ahead with just yours if you like, I know you've been waiting a while! Not sure how long you could be waiting otherwise.

[veegeeta]

yip yee Im ready to go sent you pm thanks mate and to those who miss out

What the plus side off doing pipe cause me an a mate was saying how the skylines run two pipes to the turbos but i no there a AFM on the legnum or could you run the front turbo on a new pipe with a airfilter ??

Theoretically a straighter pipe is better for airflow. You could run a pipe with just a filter on it and remove the MAF but the ecu would need to be tuned for this.

Could you not just run the rear on the MAF an front on a pipe an filter

Well, yes. Physically you could. But the maf would only be seeing half of the air going into the engine, which means the ecu would only know about half the air, and only inject half the fuel. So you'd be running very lean and likely cause expensive damage to the engine.

I guess you could retune the ecu to double the amount of fuel per load reading or something, but its not really an ideal solution.

Fairly close to ideal and what is commonly referred to as a MAF bypass.
The main issue is that you then need to balance the air flow behind the MAF / in front of the turbos. This is so that the air flow through the MAF is always proportional to the amount bypassed (which is how the MAF works in the first place). Without this, the turbo attached to the bypass could do something odd (say slightly sticky wastegate or some such) and result in far more air bypassing the MAF and causing a dangerously lean condition.

Yeah, the complexities of balancing the air flow are what I was alluding to when I said 'not really an ideal solution'.

verry nice mate can't wait to see it turn up

[veegeeta]

Thanks mate got it today . Have some rep mate good job All you others that were interested need to get onto this, very well made and light as a feather.

@veegeeta your shiny new pipe ready to be sent.

Oh my just seen this and would love one too if thats even possible!

Its possible, maybe not too soon though. I'd like to try one with a standard airbox to see if it all fits as it would be easier if more were all made at the same time rather than going back and forth all the time.

@roryfromnz (or anyone else) if you're still keen on one of those pipes Im going to the fabricator this Thursday.

[hbkuk1]

I'm keen how much?

[scott.mohekey]

I'm also interested.

[roryfromnz]

Yes please how much are you looking?
