So i got the 90 degree 3.5inch i.d. intercooler hose. It is a 3 ply hose, but its not super firm, i can squeeze and squish it. My question is when i put it on in place of the air filter should i be concerned about it getting sucked in? Anyone know how much vaccuum at peak redline is being drawn at the impeller. Im guessing it cant be too much, as that k&n filter on it is pretty squishy. TIA

 

I used silicone 3.5" it's real soft, It would never be able to loose its structure under boost I think you will be fine.
I got sick about how the stock Voctech filter is mounted so I did this with 3.5" silicone, 90 deg. sweep in stainless and new K&N filter.. look at picts!!

 

Nice Kevin...I used a flexable hose that has wire in it so it doesnt lose its shape when you bend it . With the G35 AT5 , you cant go thru the radiator support . Had to go straight down and in front of the wheel well

 

dam kevin that looks nice. Where did you find the silicone hose and 90 degree sweep in stainless?

 

Kevin , after relooking at my front end and the location of the your filter , do you have to remove the bumper to get to the filter? What did you have to modify to relocate to it's position..thanks

 

www.turbohoses.com Talk to Hover good guy, Tell him kevin sent you, he's sharp.
The ss pipe and silicone 3.5" is $$$$$.
I had to Dremel out some plastic so the sweep would fit beter, no big deal.
I can get my hand in to the right of hood latch to get filter out, one handed job!

 

I bet it doesn't make much difference, but I like the idea of having the filter in front of the radiator, for cooler air intake temps.

 

thanx for the info Kevin!

 

What did you do with the PCV hose? Just put a filter on the end of it?

 

Nice, where did you get the piping?

 

I just picked up the last 90 that turbohoses had in stock...

 

Thats what I did . I dont get any blow by . But if you did want to hook it up to the intake , I would put a catch can inline

 

What can are you using?

 

Im not...I just vent .

 

When I ordered the new demension K&N filter I got a vent filter for the PCV vent.

What was the part number of the intake filter? I picked up a K&N RU-1785.

 

what's the part# for the piping and the coupler?

 

Unless Kevin comes back with specifics, I will be post a DIY in the next few days.

 

thanks
