intake pipe

[Archers]

has anyone looked into getting a larger intake pipe? [from the throttle body to the airbox?] just looking at ways to get a better low down power!!!

the cars got great mid but is so bad low down.

Ive been thinking about that 2.
On a closer inspection the throttle body inlet hole is smaller than the Airbox hole, so therefore you'll need a bigger throttle body, unless there is another way.

get a rubber clamp, i did a 100mm pipe on my vx and made a big difference in take of and bottom end. will a gen 3 fit? same box correct? and throttle is in the same location?

this is what i put on my vx but in black and 4 inch

gen3 runs a cable throttle not a fly by wire

Those ones look tacky but yeah as f1tzy said!
I mite do a bit more research on this one.

95% sure the vz ls1 had fly by wire, earlier ones didnt

edit. cant see no cables here

[f1tzy]

yea i remembered that after i posted but i was too lazy to edit lol

Hey All,

i wonder if our LS based intake pipe would fit if cut shorter???

I might try one this on the weekend,
Any one know the size of factory intake??

thats the idea m8 was thinking of getting a pipe like that, whats the cost? should give alot better throttle response

[MICKY.D]

Hey rvx 219,

They go for about $180, but may be cheaper if i get them to fit,

i didnt get a chance on the weekend but will try this week.

so dose anyone know if the vz ls1 fly by wire TB will fit the vz alloytec V6s??

[nikolas]

i cant see it fitting, but u never know!

Probably the best thing you can do for lowdown power with the VZ/Alloytech motor's is get VCM suite tune. Removes torque management so you dont have to be at 3500rpm for torque to be unleashed fully. Looking at about $900

Read somewhere a while ago that they make performance intake manifolds for alloytecs giving a increase of up to 20hp

With the extra flow that should give heaps more bottom end.....combine with a tune on top of that then in can only get better.

Just thought it might be more gains and better money spent doing the manifold then playing with the intake pipe.

hmm i didnt know they made manifolds for the alloytecs yet.. if so they're hard to find!!

[Ewok]

You talking about an OTRCAI jobbie? Coz if so as far as I am aware they don't make em for the alloytechs yet.

[f1tzy]

They do have otrs check the ve section a few are running them on their sv6's

I just typed in 'alloytec performance manifold' in google and think its first one down.

Its a good read and the video on the home page sounds sweet

Not sure weather they make them on call on mass produced though.

i did see one on ebay a few days back going for the $200 mark.

i thought about but then remebered that the auto 5 speeds dont like running without a maf

[f1tzy]

They aren't a mafless otr

[Ewok]

Ah that'd be why then. Still no MAFless tune available for Alloytech motors.

the alloytec performance manifold AKA CPR6, can be shipped anywhere in australia for 3300.... bit pricey i reken for only 20-30hp

Sounds sweet as hey! but yeh its a bit pricey for $3300..
id rather save a bit more and get a charger kit
