I did some rough measuring, this will go from my Turbo to my AFM. How does that shape, and length look to you guys?

Haha ya I realized that after I already uploaded the PIC. I have not had a chance to shave them lately

Note: Toes are NOT part of the intake system. I need to keep them.

looks like the blue connecter for the turbo side is too big (loose) should be 2.5" on the inside.

The big toe is not for sale, sorry. I would have prblems hitting WOT without it.

I will have finish PIC's tommorow I am going to SAC in the morning to get the Air filter & such.

Well it is a 3" to 2.5' adapter on the left side of the PIC so it should be okay. I can't hook it up to the turbo to check it out until BNR ships my stage 3 modded turbo back (I hope any day now, Bryan )

Polished elbow came from a Honda ricer shop in Rancho Cordova, Midnight performance, they were cool guys .. they cut it and **** also. They are shop neighbors with K2RD. PM me if you want their phone #.

Hey Rpeck, looks good. I made mine a bit longer; the filter was all the way forward, against the headlight bucket and the resistor pack was relocated to the fender well side. I felt this would keep the filter from sucking in quite as much hot air from the radiator area as it was somewhat protected by the fan shroud.

I just recieved my BNR stage 4 '89 turbo upgrade. Looks pretty damn nice I'll take it to work Monday to get some pics. The inlet is 2.75", I think its the same for stage 3. It looks like your adapter will fit OK though. Ian

Right on, thanks for the input. I figure if I decide I want it a little further up I can get a bigger adapter on the right hand side (of the picture) and extend it that way. Ya I hope to have PICs of my intake on my turbo any day now I am sure that other inlet will stretch a little if it is a 1/4" bigger on the turbo.

Pop up some PICs of yours when you can I would like to see it.

Thx

I just had a thought (scary at this time of nite) If I grind the edges of that chrome pipe ...where the adapters go on, would there be a air flow benefit to making a smooth agle? you think? Like a ramp in the direction of air flow, as opposed to some of the air hitting that pipe lip.

Well, I flaired my pipe ends out slightly for a couple of reaons. 1st, I didn't have access to a bead roller to make that little raised edge that helps keep pipes from slidding off, so this would help. 2nd, I figured w/ a slight outward flair it would meet up w/ the adapters at a smooth angle and minimal "step".
