EJ20K suction pipe question

Rei_Akira · 04-12-2009, 06:25 PM

ok, so removed my intake manifold to get it re-powder coated that beautiful red color, and noticed that the suction pipe is torn around the area where it attaches to the turbo.

so the question, i dont think this will cause problems since its an area that should be mated directly to the turbo, but does anyone have suggestions on a new suction pipe i can pick up?

I know you would rather not ebay, but just incase your VER3-4 there is this one Ive been eyeing. They have black also.

That one will work, but it will be really, really tight. He'll need the one that's skinnier where it comes out from under the mani and bends toward the filter. It's hard to tell if the one fishhead posted is the right one, but when you look from the top you can tell it's a lot skinnier in that section. If you don't get the right one then the reservoir that sits where the hose exits will eventually cut into it.

Rei_Akira, you'll probably have problems because the tear is after the maf.

I have a WRX stock pipe jammed into there currently. It is not a good fit but works. I have only seen these ebay one's for replacement. Those who tried them say they work Ok, but may not flow any better because the inner diameter is pretty much the same.

Jaxx · 04-13-2009, 11:25 AM

the first link is a ver5-6

i have one from autobahn 88 /zena racing

and its actually a very nice piece

this is the one you want:
blue red black
these guys are really good to deal with .. i have ordered from them 4 times now .. stuff gets here faster than if i ordered it from the east coast

order all the hoses while you are at it ...

Rei_Akira · 04-13-2009, 01:00 PM

thanks Jaxx, once again you come in to save the day XD

elislider · 04-18-2009, 05:38 AM

those look perfect for the 20k's... i may have to get one someday

stirs25 · 11-02-2009, 05:23 PM

i bought one from autobahn as well for my ej-20k but it's way too tight of a fit. is there any alternative? something that'll work stock from a usa dealership? or any aftermarket piece is fine too.

Jaxx · 11-02-2009, 07:49 PM

what do you mean too tight?

i had to trim mine

Marnix · 11-03-2009, 06:34 AM

RUnning with a torn pipe causes the engine to run lean so be careful.

lovemybaker · 11-03-2009, 08:55 PM

I got the autobahn 88 one for mine, and I am never taking it off because its such a tight fit. Where it runs under the intake plenums and over the fuel rails, there is not very much room at all.

Cbgrandtheftauto · 11-04-2009, 01:31 PM

I need one but with a 3in inlet...were those from eBay 3in??

trxdam · 11-04-2009, 04:13 PM

Not a 3 inch but gobs cheaper and better than those listed above(might be able to squeeze over a 3" or just get a adapter. I have a nice red one on my version iv right now. Samco version 3-4 turbo inlet $75 bucks shipped!!!! Holla!!!!!
