home depot intake for a t-25

so what size pipe should i use to make a plastic intake for my t-25???
thanks

That turbo has such of a small inlet, I would use maybe 2 1/2 rubber piping with a 1 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch adapter.

Do it all in 3" Use 2 45 degree "Street elbows" and play with the angle of them to get it to fit around obstacles. A 4-3" rubber coupler (also in the plumbing isle, specifically for the OD of these ABS parts) will work perfectly ot the MAS, and a 3-4" reducer coupler fits the T25/14b/16g perfectly. 20 bucks. I picked up 60Hz on my 14b with this setup. OThers have seen the same gains. Enjoy :)

i am familiar with plumbing supplies, but i am curious, how do you assemble this intake?? take the two street 90's and put one smooth end at MAF and one at the turbo??? if someone could post a pic that would help a bunch thanks.

on second thought, one smooth to the mass air flow and one female to the turbo, put the 4" end of the fernco on the female and the 3" on the turbo???? maybe, i dont know lol, a pic would help. thanks

Well I dont need to say anything, but it says I need 10 charchters, I think I've got that now...

i understood what i needed to get, i need to know how to put the to street 90's together? your qoute doesnt explain that....Talon007 :loser:

sorry i was on messenger the same time i wrote the message, so now can u read it???? :rolleyes:

Mabey if you knew the english language, I could help you. What you just said, looks like a 3yr old typed it. :disappoin

hey if anyone(95_GSXracer) has a pic of their home depot intake that would help me out, thanks.

I had a pic on NEDSM, but you would need to be a member of the site to see it. This is very simple anyway. Put the two elbows together the way anyone would. A "street" eblow will have one male and one female end, as you know. Just dont cement them together yet. You can twist that joint to change the routing of the intake to clear obstacles. If you have a turbo that uses a jpipe (14b/16g) it gets tight in that area, even more so with a 1g motor in it. So if I could make it fit then anyone can :) So put the two elbow contraption in there and see how to make it fit. I ended up shortening the assembly a couple inches as well. Then use the 3-2" fernco to the turbo, and the 3-4" to the MAS. The MAS is really about 3.5". A 3" can be stretched over with some elbow grease, but I use a 4" since its easier and has no trouble squishing down to the size of the MAS. Thats it. For dumping the BOV back in, use and appropriately sized NPT close nipple. For the other lines you may wish to route back in, use NPT hose barbs. SInce the pipe is plastic I just drilled an approptiately sized hole, then used the fitting to cut its own threads. I hope this adds some more clarification. It seems akward at first, but once you get in there and start to lay the stuff out, it will become apparent what you need to do. HAve fun :biggrin:

I like how Talon007 acts like he knows the English language, but he can not seem to spell anything right in his posts. :screwy:

u misspelled maybe too, but I'm not here to nag. ;)

thankyou 95_GSXracer, that cleared up the question i had, i will build it tomarrow night , thanks for the help.

i will build it tomarrow night , thanks for the help.

post some pics :biggrin:


zer0 :sunglasse

here's a peek of mine

well i didn't get a chance to build my intake tonight, had to through my car up on the lift and take my transfer case apart, replace seals i am waiting on and put it all back together. but i will build it this week and take pics.

alright i finally went and got my parts to build the intake and i was looking at the stock one, what should i do with the vacuum lines that are running into it??? :confused: tap them into the plastic in my pvc intake. help would be appreciated. thanks

Yep, make sure they are sealed well, you dont want any air leaks.

It depends on wether or not you want to keep using them. One is from the valve cover. Thats the one that coats the inside of everything in your intake system with oil. The big one is from the charcoal canister, and the small one is from the stock boost control solenoid. I dont use any od those, but its all up to you. You can use simple NPT hose barbs, just dril hte hole to the right size, and use the fitting to make the threads. And like talon said, be sure to seal them well.

thanks for the info, since i havn't upgraded to an MBC yet i assume that i still need the stock boost control solenoid to be hooked up correct. and since i have to hook one vac line up i might as well hook them all up correct? cause it shouldn't effect performance right? thanks for the help. :bigthumb:

well i finally got my intake built last night, it works but i am going to redo the intake( made it a little tall, works better but still not perfect) so i will take pictures and post them when i redo it. thanks for all the help. :thumbsup:
