...is it any good - at what boost did you test it too?

Trout

 

Wasnt there some reports of this collapsing under boost IIRC

 

That was the samco one. Besides insert a helicoil style thing into it.. Im ordering the one from jap innovations and Ill test it to 2 Bar, be a few weeks yet though... Go for the cheapest.. ** (now your becoming a northerner. You can stop it collapsing easily enough, depends on how bothered you are...

** Doesnt apply to people running with 4 cylinder engines

David

you are such a cheeky sod - I won't let you play in my car now

I am looking at making something - really big - however the GGR one is cheaper than the STi which I know works - but is expensive. If I do one I plan to remotely mount the Steering Header Tank - however this will be a bind - it may be cheaper/easier to buy one - if it is good.

The MRT STi Rally Car runs a very large pipe without remounting the header tank - however it does not seem to be for sale

Trout

 

what you thinking of making one out of?? remote mounting ps fluid is easy as you know...

David

 

Hello Trout,

I am using the induction Kit of the MY01 from SAMCO in my MY99.
Unitl now I had no problems with collapsing or sth else.
I am using a APS SR-30 Turbocharger at 1.2 max 1,4 bar.

Frank :-)

 

Didn't the collapsing only become an issue when the OE airbox is used as well?

Mmmm - what I really need to know is - does the SAMCO/GGR induction pipe restrict high boost over 6,000rpm as the standard item kills it.

And by high, I mean HIGH!

David - I will be popping around to get your help with the remote mounting - from what I can see I need a couple of brackets one for the top of the pump and one for the bottom of the standard header tank - or get a new header. Will probably take the opportunity to fit a small cooler for the steering fluid - it gets very hot on track - although remotely mounting that will help a bit.

Trout

 

David,

PS the home made version will be combinations of HUGE SAMCO pipes and bits of SS Tube - probably end up costing more - but if it is really big.....

 

Well you know where to come if you need owt making / Weldign up...

Just drop me a mail as and when..

David

 

Sounds good Trout.

Maybe a prototype that us northerners can copy

 

Well I could wait until I arrive - still not finalised house - grrrr!

Then we can have a shared experience!

Trout

 

Trout are you after an induction setup similar to that of Andy F.'s ????? :


his inlet pipe is 75mm.
I have also mailed GGR (no response yet), to find the dimensions of the following parts:


Mounting the steering pump remotely shouldn't be that hard, I think this has already been done on the newer STi's.

remove resoviour.. (sp) make plate and adaptor and remote mount!

Something fishy about this plan..

 

Ooooo - forgot about that pic - that would do it!
