SR20det: is there anyboy that makes a hard intake pipe?

[AenjukuCar]

I've searched this board and 240sxforums, and found nothing about a solid pipe for the intake on an sr20det. Does anyone make any, or am I gonna have to get someone to custom make one for me?

[95zilvia]

Ive been looking for it for a long time too.l
I hate the rubber piping, so ... ugly

[rrobe99999]

I've also been searching for a hard pipe to replace the stock rubber one. All I've found is the HKS suction kit. It has the pipe, filter, adapter, couplers, turbo inlet, and some other stuff for like $400 bucks. It would be good if you were building a new setup and mising alot of stuff, but that's more than I want to spend right now for an intake. I was going to try to fab one using IC piping from projectsilvia.com, but they were out of the 45 elbow that I wanted to use. He did say that they were thinking about making an intake pipe.

I think we should use this thread to drum up interest for a piece like this. I've wanted one for a LONG time to replace the crappy rubber hose with that wierd spring inside. The one thing this intake tube HAS to have, though, is a bung on the side for the recirculation fitting. Other people might not care about recirculating their BOV, but most have found that an atmospheric setup is crap.

So, how many people want this? I would totally buy one. It needs to be of high quality and it needs to bolt right up to the stock setup. I'd pay up to $150 for something that worked well and looked nice.

I was gonna get one custom locally but it seems that no one can do mandrel bent stuff. I'd have to buy the pipes and then take it to a machine shop. I'm sure there's gotta be a shop with all the hot rod/domestic shops here but I'm having trouble finding one.

[AlexAtPerformanceNissan]

HKS makes one....i can get it for anyone interested....email me at alexatmynismo.com It comes with hardpipe and mushroom filter, as well as all

Yeah I'm interested, if the price is right!

But on the other hand if I can get a local shop to start making them and distribute them and then sell them to you guys!

[kazuo]

I'm in, but as uiuc stated it needs to have the inlet for BOV recirculation.

Otherwise, NO DEAL. :)

And it needs to come in a black finish too.. no bling for me.

[uiuc240]

Well, I agree with Kazuo's need for BOV inlet...but not the black. It can just be raw aluminum or something. Kazuo can rattle can it :)

[BuudWeizErr]

yeah, i'd buy one. but i have recirc'd too, so i have to have that. And I'd like a fitting for my oil catch can. color doesn't matter... i already have a rainbow under my hood.

Apex-i, greddy, and HKS make kits that have a metal replacement for the rubber/plastic intake pipe.

The Apex-i Super Suction kit can be had w/ either Z32 maf or stock SR maf. places like www.phase2motortrend.com and other hks/ apex/ greddy dealer can get their hands on them.

シルビア/180SX PS13/RPS13 91/1～99/1 SR20DET \39,000 538-N011 φ80エアフロメーター用キット（エアフロメーターは付属していません）
シルビア S14/CS14/S15 93/10～ SR20DET \39,000 538-N021 （Z32用エアフロメーターカプラー付属）

typically the Z32 maf kits come w/ the adapter harness also. Apex and Greddy's kits do, HKs i would have to check their pricelist.

That's nice, but for people just wanting a pipe that is alot of extra stuff and probably alot of extra money. what is one of those going to cost??

[Mr. Badlose]

I've brought this thread back because I want to know if anyone has had any success on a cost-effective (read: CHEAP) metal intake. I could have swore that I once read about someone using a Civic intake pipe on their SR....but I've searched and searched and can't find it! The HKS's price == rape. I mean damn, there should be a decent market for these.

[TheTimanator]

there was a guy selling a JWT pipe in the for sale section but he hasn't responded
http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=57280

But the pipe doesn't show up on JWT's site all all... :cry:

[sr240mike]

I can take the idea to a place I know. They made 100 pairs of chrome hard intake pipes for the 90-96 300zx tt's. For the 4 pipes (to intercooler/from intercooler on both sides) they sold for $280 w/ silicone couplings and chrome t-bolt clamps. Im sure he could get it down way more for just the one pipe and couplings. Whose interested in a group buy?

[Mr. Badlose]

To be honest, I'd have to see the product design first. As long as it's pretty cheap and has an inlet to connect my recirc valve to. But toss it to your friend, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested. The stock one is pretty lame.

[TheTimanator]

I'd be in! Ceramic coated if possible (since that's what my IC pipes are) Make sure it reatains all the factroy bungs/nipples whatever there called. Keep us posted!

[robs240sx]

I am making one out mandrel bent 3" steel pipes. I will have it done in a couple of days (cause i have a day job). I will test it for at least a week and post the gains if any. it is going to be made for a 97 240sx with a s13 redtop. the s14 with a s14 SR should be slightly different due to the location of the turbo to the chassi, the same goes for the s13 with s13 SR, but it shouldn't be any more than a rubber coupling could fix.

[mykem]

lol, i just made one out of plumbing pvc...3" of pure ghettoness power!! but it works, and i have yet to stop being lazy to replace it with the stock rubber one i finally got thats been sitting in my garage....

my god man, who did your wiring harness? It's all over the place!

[TheTimanator]

lol...goes with the ghetto fabbed intake tube. On the other hand, your valve cover looks puuurfect... Mine looks like crap!!!

[mjjstang]

dont you need some rubber though for vibrations, maybe im wrong or maybe the silicone couplings would be good enought for a lil play,

couplings should be enough. Think about all the aftermarket intakes there are out there..Injen, AEM, etc....metal pipe with silicone coupler

[Demik]

i have a s14 turbo and a z32 maf (s13 sr20det) and used a a CIVIC intake and it worked perfect..

[sr240mike]

Could you please post pics? What year civic?

[TheTimanator]

:werd: post up some pics!

[Demik]

haha ight guys i will.. !!!!

[robs240sx]

canned project !!!!!!!!!!! my wife got me a new turbo and the location isn't the same. now i have to make the pipe out of 4" pipe and eliminate the mafs with an apex powerfc. here is a link to a similar turbo.http://store.240sxmotoring.com/garrettgt25r.html
it is going to be a while before i get to install the turbo, i have to upgrade almost everything around it

[Blues13]

damn, your wife's a keeper. Does anyone know how much gain or noticeable effect replacing the pipe would make? I know it's nothing drastic, but anything noticeable?

[kcolyer27]

Here are pictures of the hard intake pipe that slickmotorsports in cleveland made for a t67 240sx.

Nice car! Looks like a base model and not an se to me though...

[TheTimanator]

It is a base model. It's 4 lug. I think a few people have told him already but he hasn't changed his sig or cardomain. Maybe he doesn't beleive us? but anyway.

^^^^ some one in cleveland get some made for the stock set-up!!!!! And sell to us!
