FreedomCore Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Right so i just fitted my Glanza Inlet onto my SR. I kept the original tb on just to avoid any unnessacery cockups. But the intake hose thingy is just abit too short to reach from the Airfilter box to the tb. Anyone else have this problem? and how did you fix it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Did the tb fit on ok without any air leaks because of the difference in parts. I had a simaler problem when I fitted the GT inlet and tb to my paseo. The GT tb was too big for the original pipe so I cut up a stock GT air pipe that comes off the air box. Your going to have to get a silicon joiner and cut the inculcation pipe in half and put the joiner in or you could space your air box over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah man the tb fit on pretty much perfectly. I have a coupling knocking about. Will have to see what i can coble together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dai_starletN/A Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 i went for an after market air filter and pipe on my old N/A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just put the standard air box back on my sr. The aftermarket air filter made pedal happy. Also I just purchased a k&n panel filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Let us know what you do to sort this out. If I ever buy an FTE mani I wanna keep my airbox, so much more torque using a K&N panel than with a cone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dai_starletN/A Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 this is the one i had http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/41623-rw-developments-na-air-filter-hard-pipe-kit-in-stock/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 you can get it to fit, takes abit of patience but really loosen the airbox bolts (under the filter) and the bracket at the top....put the filter in and close the airbox up then loosely attach the pipe on the air box side then the throttle body side...try get on as much as you can and tighten up i ran both my N/As like this without airleaks and any issues Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FreedomCore Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Right so i sorted it this morning. I found a spray paint lid that was a snug for for the intake. Cut the end off to make a like tube. Put it about halfway in the intake.Then i had what can only be described as a rubber insert for silicone connectors. I just put that on the other end and hooked it up to the inlet. If that makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 What do u think of the fte manifold-na tb combo.Have you thought about bypassing the coolant pipes. Loop the long one to coolant pipes and the short one to tb. Dont touch the powering steering breather pipes, their the two wrapped in white plasticThis is all under your throttlebody. Did u use gasket seal, its a must when fitting manifolds as even new gaskets dont seal well amymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bypassing the coolant messes with the cars idle, increases it to 1k ish when fully warm after a motorway run...I changed mine back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Theres coolant piped to your throttlebody to stop it freezing.in winter and helping engine warmup. Bypassing.this cools your intake and makes your car faster. Asad Ive never experienced that before, could it.be that the motorway run cooled your coolant below preset temp and the car went to cold start mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 coolant temp was were it always was as it is in every other starlet around the halfway mark...car was in perfect running order other wise, upon changing it back i never experienced the issue again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
