[Guest]

[Guest]

nice man.looks sweet

you notice any diffrence with the silicone intake?

[thorpy]

Haven't started it , need to reroute the head breathers and IAC pipe first. Can tell the difference in flow will be massive.

[Guest]

im looking at buying one this friday but they aint cheap!

[Guest]

Replaced my intercooler pump this morning. Now I have vital air cooling fluids flowing again.

errmmm what? that's why its called a restrictor box...

i have done research and its like a baffle and removing it and replacing it with a pipe gives better airflow..

unless you wish to prove otherwise?

im sure plenty of people on here have done this and chosen to keep the new pipe rather than the old box..

plus it looks alot better too..

show of hands.. who has found that replacing the restrictor box on the intake gives better response and airflow?

i'm talking about replacing the black box in the centre of this image:

with something like this:

I may be wrong. but im pretty sure Thorpys car doesn't have that.

Same as mine WRX (well late model GC8 anyway) goes straight to factory Airbox which isn't restrictive at all.

Your pic looks like a Legacy...

[funkytown]

before you go off having another rage, the pipes and pictures we were talking about above are for v3+.

how is someone supposed to guess you're referring to something different.

if you had said "do not want restrictor box on MY BF" then its clear yes?

fwiw - people often quote the stock airboxes as being restrictive which the are not - and given the context of the previous discussion my comments apply that that.

boom - what johnny said.

[Guest]

yeh well clearly i dont own a V3, i am meaning for my BF5..

why would i say i dont want a restrictor on my V3 when i dont even own one..

think about it...

[Johnnynz]

Why would I know (or care) what sort of car you have? The discussion was based around a WRX, you didn't seer it elsewhere so the assumption would be we are comparing apples with apples not apples with Giraffes...

Think about it...

[Johnnynz]

Hell even saying "do not want MY restrictor box"would have solved the problem.

couple that with ppl claiming v3+ air boxes are restrictive and you are right on the money johnny. lets not upset the troll.

[Guest]

its the same as someone putting a new turbo in there car and someone saying " ooh do want a new turbo"

im just saying i want to remove the restrictor box from mine..

whats the big deal anyway?

got nothing better to do than pick at peoples posts all day?

take a chill pill guys..

At the moment? No... Not really.

Anyways on topic...

My weekend involved tidying up a few vacuum lines, marking up my boot for the v6 STI spoiler to go one, tidying up my spare set opf 16"rims and painting my FMIC before looking at some piping ideas...

[Jimbob]

cut tails in preparation for split rail mod

removed siezed bolt out of coolant pipe that goes across both halves of the block

gave address for some v3 heads to be delivered woops haha

[ItsTheRS]

Busy day for me...

Put it an hks circle earth system mainly just because it looks better than original looking wires, removed horn, going back in tomorrow. Took starter off, replaced brushes, cleaned up. Replaced clutch spring cause other one disappered. Got the window washers working again - finally. Cleaned back tail-lights, somehow pieces of metal got into them and started rusting inside (??) Removed intercooler piping to attempt straightening, but thats still in progress, took bov off and cleaned. Took off k&n filter, replaced with hks item. Pulled dash apart for work on it tomorrow.

[Koom]

I finally got around to welding up the jigsaw puzzle that is my baffled, twin-scroll sump. Just need to weld some tags in for fasteners and paint the outside and it should be ready to bolt onto an engine ;D

Also, Tony started working on my heads to get them ready for me to bolt onto my shortblock. Lots of work in sorting out the core shift in the castings.

Got the IAC plumbing rerouted today and finally took it for a spin and ...... OMFG what a difference , the old pipe must have been soooo restrictive with the rangi side connection drilled into it.

Car is savage on boost now , boost is up to 1.1 bar from 1.0 and feels as if its on sooner , 0 - 100 dissapears atleast a second quicker , cant wait to get back on the track now.

[Guest]

sta wants 250$ for it

[CUDDAS]

plugged hand controller into possum link last night only to find it's been locked???? code #= 252 access denied.....
