Finally!! A solid aluminum polished intake pipe for your SR20DET!

This 2.5" aluminum pipe has a fitting for both catch can and for recirculating your BOV. The sweet thing is that since it's a solid aluminum pipe, you can definitely hear your BOV - which is one thing most people would lose when recirculating with the stock rubber intake pipe. I use a Greddy Type S bov and it's still really loud recirculating. All I used to hear was air wooshing when i used to use the stock rubber intake.

You'll definitely hear and feel the difference between this pipe and stock. PLUS you'll be able to hear your turbo more - help it breathe and hear that baby spool :D

Here are some pictures--

The intake kit will come with Option Racing couplers and clamps, hose for catch can, two brackets you may choose to use for bracing, and your chosen polished aluminum intake pipe.

Here's a comparison pic between the aluminum pipe and stock rubber pipe. The stock one looks bigger but that's because it's standing on the catch can fitting.

Here's my intake that i've been using for over 1/2 a year. And no, the MAFS plug isn't touching the hotpipe...I need to cut a zip tie to give it some slack :P

Important
Please contact me first to check on availability before ordering, just in case.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me or PM me. Thanks :D

Custom Options and Pricing: You have three choices when choosing the intake pipe:
These prices all include shipping (which costs about $10-12)
T25 or T28 Stock Turbo Intake Kits
Kit 1 -- Intake pipe with just the fitting for catch can: $60 shipped
Kit 2 -- Intake pipe with fitting for both catch can and BOV recirculation: $70 shipped



Top Mount Turbo Intake Kit -- I decided to include this because a few people asked about it - 90º Intake Pipe for top mount turbos - with your choice of fittings:
Kit 1 -- Just the pipe, no fittings: $45 shipped
Kit 2 -- Catch can fitting only: $50 shipped
Kit 3 -- BOV recirulation fitting only: $55 shipped
Kit 4 -- Both catch can and BOV recirulation fitting: $60 shipped
If ordering the 90º pipe, let me know where you want the fittings/bungs to be put on the pipe. Everyone's setup is different, so please let me know.

If you have a Z32 MAFS, I also offer 3" - 2.5" coupler reducers. If you want one, add $6.50. eBay offers them for $9 shipped so I think this is a decent price. As for those of you who already have the pipe and/or just need the coupler, PM/email me your zip and i'll give you a price.

These are about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price of more expensive kits out there, which don't even have the bungs for recirculation or catch cans!

Some things to keep in mind before ordering:
1- I've test fit these on a couple of other people's cars, and they fit great! Keep in mind that depending on what size your air filter and MAFS is, this intake pipe may or may not need to be trimmed at the ends. Since it's a solid piece, unlike the stock intake, you can't really bend it around for adjustment. When test fitting, everyone got theirs to fit by adjusting it via the couplers; push the couplers in more or out more to give the air filter more room.

2- The reason I believe that no manufacturer makes these pipes is because everyone's BOV is mounted differently. I use ER's hotpipe w/Greddy BOV flange. My BOV sits closer to the radiator than say, the stock mid-piece w/BOV.

Since these are all custom, make sure you let me know where your BOV is located. Generally, I've been putting the bungs in the location (see pic 3). My BOV is around the area where (on the stock hotpipe) the middle coupling is. I can put the recirculation bung further down the intake pipe if you have the BOV welded onto the stock hotpipe. It will be estimated (better if you take a pic and send it to me). I can't guarantee you it will be 100% perfectly lined up with your BOV outlet (even though thats where the flex hose will be used to connect the two).

Since these have yet to be made for everyone, it will be first come, first serve. General wait time will be about a week before shipping it out, at most.

I prefer PayPal but will accept Money Order, however those who are able to pay first will be put first on the list.

PayPal email: [email protected]

Again, be sure to tell me what kit you want, where your BOV is mounted, and anything else I should know. Tracking information will be provided.

Thanks

Kit 2 is what I'd want for a stock setup yes? (cept my greddy BOV is recirc'd)

You should receive my pay pal momentarily! Thx!
Plz PM me when you receive it (and hopefully answer my question :P hehee)

drifter_e, is that a custom hotpipe? if you could, it would be great if you took the picture from the sideview. Basically, standing by the driver-side fender facing the engine and taking a pic, that way, I can do a better estimate of where to weld....and i could try tilting the bung toward the left more so the hose wouldn't end up in a 90º angle.

The whole purpose of trying to get the bungs welded as close to the BOV as possible is to increase the sound of the BOV. We all know the hoses decrease the sound. Although, some people don't really care about the sound as much as they do about the fact that it's a solid pipe instead of a flexible rubber one :)

Tenchuu, I'm not positive if they fit on an S15 since non of the people who i test fitted these for had an S15 engine, but i think it will work if it has identical stock intake pipe as S13/S14. Send me a pic of your set up and maybe i'll get a better idea of what you're working with.

And when you mean "catch can fitting".. how big is the fitting? will it fit my greddy catch can hosing?

Some people have asked for an intake with no fittings. As of right now, I'm not offering one with no fittings. If there's enough interest, maybe I'll keep it in mind for the future. I suggest to those who want a bung-less intake to buy stock intake kit 1 and use a plug on the catch can fitting. I use this plug that actually came with my catch can:

That intake requires MORE modification (moving dip stick, cutting turbo inlet pipe), and doesn't offer ANY BOV/catch can bungs. Mine requires no modification of your stock parts, if any modding at all.

If the inlet on the gt28 is the same direction as the stock t25, it should work. It may be a problem if you dont know where your BOV is; in that case you might want to get kit 1 instead. I could weld the recirc. bung in the stock location but that doesnt mean your BOV will be anywhere near that. PM me if you have any other questions.

I have room for a couple of people more. Difference between kit 1 and 2 is that kit 2 has the recirculation bung welded onto the pipe for the BOV. If you want to recirculate your BOV, get kit 2 and send me a pic, or if you dont care for recirculating then just get kit 1. I'm in the peninsula. PM me if you want to meet up.

the hotpipe that i am getting doesnt have a flange for the bov yet so i guess i could weld the flange according to where you put the bung for the recirculation. As long as you dont have it welded in an awkard place. I'm really not sure if the inlet of the the gt28 is the same as the t25, do you have a pic? I'm really interested and would like to purchase this asap but i dont want to buy something that wont work. thanks!

oh, and i was only able to hold pipes who put money down first. I need to take care of payers first and then if there are any pipes left i'll contact those of you who PM'd me first who showed interest.

*** There seems to be more than enough interest, just that funds seem to be an issue. I'll be extending the group buy - I'll be accepting payments in about 2 weeks and will post here when the group buy is active again.

You can send payment now to ensure you have a pipe on hold for you, or you can wait until I post when i'll be able to make the pipes again. (~2 weeks)

If you have any questions, feel free to email me or PM me. Thanks :D

exactly.. mine is designed around having a power enterprise intake, z32 maf, and greddy type rs recirculated.

Okay, overall I'm reasonably happy, tho the actual install effort and time spent vs. the work to be done was INSANE. This was a tougher install than custom doing up my S15 front end :(

Mainly because of this thing... doesn't everyone else have this too? My plastic intake has a flat spot on the bottom where it rubbed on this thing all day long... .I'm wondering how the silicon connector and pipe will hold up, as any adjustment you have can only be done thru muscling around the way the pipe fits in the connector. Here's a pic of what I"m talking about:
http://www.360realms.com/240sx/DCP_0514-cc50.jpg

Build quality seems pretty good. It is an intake after all, so there's not so much worry about working pressure etc. Here is a pic of my pipe next to the stock pipe:
http://www.360realms.com/240sx/DCP_0511-cc50.jpg

After hr 3 of what should have been a 10min install, it occurred to me that the vast majority of my issues were Pic 1, above; coupled with the fact that I had to REALLY shove around to find a fitment that was:
A) not going to make the filter element stick up higher than the hood
B) making the BOV recirc tube fit, w/o pinching it
C) making the blow-by tube fit w/o pinching it
Hindsite is 20-20, I realized that the pic below would've been the best weld points for making it fit better... currently I'm not very confident in the joints.
The main joint connecting to the intake ports is holding hte metal from both the port, and the tube, at the very edges, barely held by the clamps. This was a requirement for me, or it wouldn't have fit at all. Both my BOV and blow-by hoses are at least 50% crimped to make the fitment work at all... both attachments on the pipe itself were probably in the worst possible places... but Aure said he test fitted it, so maybe my car is a little different that everyone elses? I encountered a variation on the same these on the filter side, again having to go to the very edges of the joint in order to make the filter fit inside the engine bay... as it was when i started (and when it was attached in the most secure way possible), the fiter acutally stuck up above the hood a good 6 inches... almost so that the entire filter was above the level of hte hood (think 18 wheeler exhaust stacks). Modded pic below of a better placement solution:
http://www.360realms.com/240sx/DCP_0511-betterpipes.jpg

Finished installation
So lots of cussing and many band-aids later (the pipe actually got hurled full force into my front lawn at one point)... I finally got the setup installed securely enough, that I thought i'd be safe for now, as long as I check the clamps fairly often.
http://www.360realms.com/240sx/DCP_0518-cc50.jpg
disregard my messy engine bay, after I got the sucker in there, I was DONE. I didnt even want to look at my car LOL.
http://www.360realms.com/240sx/DCP_0517-cc50.jpg

Final Thoughts:
Build Quality - build quality for me seemed good. Quality connectors, decent clamps. Fairly good polish on my pipe despite Aure's warning that there were some scratches from test fitting (thx btw, that was very professional to note that). I scratched that absolute shit out of that pipe by the time I got it to fit decently. Everything came nicely bagged, and even had a couple brackets (albeit thin ones) to help you support your filter. I'd say B+ here.

Fitment - for me, this was a nightmare, but at least a nightmare with a happy ending. When all was said and done, it does what it's supposed to. It's not going to get crazy hot or be under extreme pressure, so fit&finish doesn't need be as good as say, IC piping. HOWEVER, I would suggest that if you go this way, have Aure weld the bungs as shown in my 3rd image, this should alleviate most of the issues I had... tho a fitting to size down the large blow-by port (near the valve cover, I dunno it's real name), to the corresponding bung on the intake pipe would've saved a lot of head scratching :) Personally for me, I'd say fitment was a C-, but don't take that as an overall rating; it's not. Like all custom things, there is a TON of trial and error. Aure said it fit correctly on his test vehicle, and I believe him. I just think that maybe the lengths, placements and other "margin-of-error" type parts/measurements are not exactly the same. It could easily have been a B or B+.... just not for me personally, especially since I was one of the first to receive mine, I knew that gamble going in tho, so I'm dissapionted, but not terribly.

So it wasn't a great fit.
But let me be Perfectly Clear.

THIS DOES NOT MAKE THIS A BAD PRODUCT

Aure was a great guy to work with. Very fast construction and shipment both, on a very simple item. It's a custom piece, and like all custom things, there's some definite margin for error. In addition, a lot of ppl have different setups. I have a feeling that as Aure does more and more of these, he'll start to get "setup types" memorized, and be able to crank out perfectly fitting versions in the not too distant future. Yes mine was a significant PITA, but your mileage may vary, and as customers provide feedback, Aure is only giong to grow more skilled. He has all the ingredients for making a really professional product, mine just didn't happen to be it.

That company makes different intakes for dozens of cars, I know thats not exactly it. I'm sure you could find exactly it if you look around a bit. I just noticed the couplers, piping, line, bracket, etc being identical. I assume that's why he can't offer it with out the nipple also...

Yoshi,
Woah, lots of issues going on here. I'll try to address them all, although I never received a PM from you regarding these problems.

I did state in the original first post that these are all custom made, done by only pictures. I do my best from what I can with pictures provided by the buyer. You're right, everyone's set up is different and I can only do so much with 2D images. I do have to say though, I did only test these intakes on cars that had K&N/regular cone filters, no extensions or anything, just MAFS and filter, so yours was a bit different.

From the intakes sold, no one else has actually brought to my attention that they've had such a troublesome experience as you have, possibly because of what i mentioned earlier^^

I dont know what that thing sticking out by the turbo inlet is; i've never seen that before.

I *may* hold off on continuing to make the custom recirc. bungs if there are a significant number of complaints. As of now, I still plan on doing them, but we'll see how things go. Although i do have to say, locals have had much better luck because I actually get to measure everything out myself.

Since it is a solid intake piece, it's very hard to move it around to your liking. The most you can do is basically rotate it. I am having a hell of a time trying to get the bungs in certain positions, but for the most part (at least so far) most buyers have been happy with the outcome.

I'm very sorry it didn't work perfectly for you. Like I said, I did mention in the first post that these are all estimated and I warned everyone. But, that doesn't mean I don't care. If you'd like to discuss it, send me a PM.

To anyone else, if you're worried about the fitment issues Yoshi had, I'd just suggest getting the intake without the recirc. bung.

That does look a lot like it. I buy the couplers, clamps, etc. From a local store here in the bay area. I dont know where they get the couplers or anything from. maybe even from ebay, i didnt ask. I chose to weld the bung for the catch can in that spot because I noticed a lot of people have their catch can positioned near the radiator, so it was easiest for them just to hook up a straight hose. I made it the same size as the catch can, not the valve cover.

Aure,
Don't take this the wrong way man. I wrote a review just based on my experience. I never eMailed or PMed you about any of it, cuz it just wasn't worth it. It's a low cost mod IMO, hardly worth bickering about. I knew what you were doing (customization/guestimation wise) beforehand, so don't think the review was bashing you in any way, in fact, the opposite, it was a good effort. I tried to be very fair, and show that, or I wouldn't have given it a "B". I think that's a good grade myself. In the end it worked out, it's was just a longer journey from point A to point B than either of us thought, that's all my review was saying.

I do realize that and thank you for the "B", considering all the effort it took you to get it to work. My goal is to try to make everyone happy but unfortunately thats very hard to accomplish.

What I'm actually doing now is taking a picture of the ordered intake mounted already and sending it to the buyer. That way they can see how I designed it to be mounted, and they can tell me what needs to be changed (as far as they can tell) if anything.

yoshi wat kind of difference did u notice with the pipe?

well so far I only have my 5minute commute to judge by, but since I live in the palouse (an area of WA state that has terrain more like frisco than kansas), even that is a small workout for the car. Power increase? Maybe slightly, i'm sure it's measurable to the chassis dyno, but not the butt dyno... I DO think there was a measurable, albeit slight, improvement to throttle response.

Did you guys know there is a huge turbulence creating spring inside the stock tube? I had no idea til I took it off.

The most noticable difference is definitely the sound. My BOV is prolly about 20-30% more noticable. I say "noticable" because it's not exactly louder, (tho i'm sure it is a little bit), moreover it's more "clear". No longer as muffled sounding. The sucking sound of the intake is also much louder, until it's drowned out by the turbo once it spools.

WILDACEX187
09-22-2005, 11:35 AM
^^sounds yummy. i always wanted to see of a way to get rid of that pipe since that accordian looking thing on the stock one is to reduce noise and create turbulance like u said.

Pepperoni
09-22-2005, 12:30 PM
I also thought it was weird that there was a spring inside the stock intake. I thought it was there just to avoid it collapsing under boost. Who knows how well that works... The closer the BOV to the intake, the louder it will be. I think no matter where it is though, you'll hear a difference. But like Yoshi said, the biggest difference will be the increase in spool sound. My Greddy Type S BOV outlet is almost flush with my recirc. bung maybe 2" away and you can hear it as if it was atmospheric. Maybe 20-25% quieter than atmospheric.

Some people have asked for an intake with no fittings. As of right now, I'm not offering one with no fittings. If there's enough interest, maybe I'll keep it in mind for the future.
Why aren't you selling them without the bungs and going through the trouble to make a plug if you weld them in yourself. I don't buy it.

If you want one without the bung, all you have to do is ask. These are all custom, after all. You get what you want. I've only had 1 person who bought an intake from me that didnt want the fitting so far.

I'm not sure what everyone who bought an intake is using but a couple of people did mention they were using Cusco (style?) catch cans...basically the fittings on the mentioned catch cans are 9mm since thats the size i use on the intakes (3/8 inch). I think most catch cans are either 9mm or 15mm.

I noticed a slight quicker response in throttle feel, and a whole lot louder Turbo Spool noise. kinda reminds me of a big rig spooling up!! great product and the fitment issue was quickly resolved with some smart thinkin and a lot of different views of positioning!!

As long as the inlet is basically facing the same way as the stock t25 does (toward wheel well), then yes, no problem.
If it is facing differently, send me a pic and PM me so we can discuss this further :)

Yes, actually that's what I do, along with a few other people who requested the same. I just weld the tip of the bung and you just use a breather filter on the catch can. If you end up wanting to use the bung later on, just cut off the tip.

One comment, it would be nice if you supplied a 2.5" to 3" coupler for those with z32 mafs. I had to cobble something together using the rubber part of a cone filter and an exhaust reducer since none of my local shops had any couplers that worked.

Yep kit comes with everything you need to bolt it on. You could get the pipe with no recirc. bung, and if you want to recirculate later, we can set something up so I could weld on a bung for you.

For those of you with Z32 MAFS', I'm offering 2.5" to 3" coupler reducers now, so if you're ordering and have a Z32 MAFS and want a matching coupler, add $6.50. eBay offers them for $9 shipped so I think this is a decent price. As for those of you who already have the pipe and/or just need the coupler, let me know your zip and i'll give you a price.

^^ we're thinking a 45º/90º bend would be better for the T28 people, i'd just like to see what a T28 stock intake looks like. As far as I knew, it was the same as the T25. Slidin240Wayz, I think it would be best if the intake just had 1 bend and not 2. I'm pretty sure it won't hit the power steering resevoir. It shouldn't be that difficult... but let me know what you'd like to do.

i'll post some pics when i get it back from him ready to rock.

i sent him pics of my old setup but the problem was i bought a new hotpipe and bov, and even though the new hotpipe was the same as he has, his greddy type s recirc piece exits about 45 degrees different than the new type rs which is why it didn't line up for me. i think if i had the type s it would have been perfect.

aure's mega helpful and has awesome customer service, definitely recommend him to anyone.

Slidin240Wayz
11-17-2005, 12:55 PM
That's a sweet way to recirculate it. I wish I could do that to mine, but my bov is on the CAS side, so I will just recirc that to the outlet at the turbo inlet and use the bung on the al. intake pipe to recirc the catch can. Aure, I like the way shiftnslide's pipe is. I specially like the bung you put on his, which is how I want mine, but cut on a 45 degree angle like we discussed so that the bung points to the front of the car. I also like how the bung is on the side of the pipe, not on top of it. Shift and slide, what part of jersey are you from?

Slidin240Wayz

Wow,
I would never know how difficult fabrication be on the phone. You have to love technology and the ease of communication with it. I don't know how Aure stayed on the phone so long going back and forth on ideas, so many mentions of 45 degrees, 70 here, 90 there, cut this, use this, so on and so forth. The T28 turbo inlet is different than the T25 turbo inlet. I've neem stressin over this part, but I think we finalized it for the T28 people. A+++ for Aure.

Wishing you all the best,

Thanks to you as well for being so patient. I also didn't think it would be so complicated to design one for the T28 inlet. Hopefully the one I sent out will work out for you once you cut the tip. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Here is my piece fellas. It really took hours to decide where the hell the bung was going to go and it didn't even end up where we had planned. It still came out being a sick setup especially with the radiator hose I ran into which ran perfectly with the bung's placement. Aure is a very hard worker. Buy from AURE!!!

hey carlos, how was the fitment of the pipe?

Pepperoni, what types of modifications did you need to make for the t28 setup to fit properly? Are you selling a t28 setup now? I'm interested but was holding back because i wasnt sure if you were going to get something to fit properly for this turbo. Also, is there a difference between the fitment for a ball bearing t28 and the one carlos is running which isnt ball bearing?

Slidin240Wayz
11-29-2005, 08:14 AM
The fitment on the pipe is excellent. The pipe is a tad bit bigger than the turbo inlet, but once you tighten the clamps, you are all set. The one he made me sits the intake right in the stock location, so that is a great part about it, along with many other things. I am pretty sure mine is ball bearing cause it came off the S14 SR20DET. Aure, take care of him brotha and contact me if you need to.

Wishing you the best,
Carlos Doria

He does have a ball bearing t28, and yes I am now offering intakes specifically for T28 setups, thanks to Carlos. :) shiftnslide got his to work with the T25 intake pipe, but i'm currently doing something a little different for his pipe.

The fitting for mine is 3/4" and the welded fitting is about 1" or bigger.

I have never welded a 1" fitting for a catch can. Are you sure you're not talking about the BOV recirc. bung?

Sure thing, I am off tomorrow and will be messing with it until it goes on without any complications. I will take pics of where it is giving me problems at.

wondering if you can accomodate me in requesting a pipe with the recirc fitting pointed upward from stock about 45°?

so that I may use a 90° bend out of my BOV to meet it. I like venting but I'd also like the ability to recirculate if I wanted.

Thanks I appreciate it, I believe I may have gotten it to work though. I had to remove the bracket for the old stock KA airbox, and manhandle a few other things, but it worked out. I will take and post a pic of it when I get off work.

Here are a few pics. I think I may end up cutting the pipe shorter, and just do away with the recirc. fitting....also gain a little room for the filter.
