Argh!!! I Need HELP!!! There is a big ass crack forming RIGHT NEAR THE TURBO!! I want to replace the pipe but I havent been able to find a pipe and I contacted a few mechanics and they all said that they havent been able to source the part.

Suggestions please!!

very normal on gt4's unfortunately.
best bet is to make up a new intake

Yeah mines doing that too. Duct tape has done the job for the last few months and seems to be standing up to the heat fine. Will sort out a proper fix when I get around to a cold air intake.

Ring around a few hardware stores to find a rubber vulcanising tape.
Thats what I've used and its done the job nicely. Looks half decent aswell.

herbert engineering on the shore have done them, otherwise al does a coupple of elbows you could join together with a piece of stainless to facilitate the breather lines.

You have the intake pipe I need!?!?!?!?? How much do you want for it???

by **Malcolm** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 4:14 pm

I think his is off a Caldina. Probably wont fit

by **99gtt** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 6:48 pm

If its the same as whats in the picture it will fit

by **Kevorkian** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 6:50 pm

That picture is from a 205's 3sgte, but it looks exactly like what i've got in my 185.

by **Malcolm** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 7:59 pm

an st205 with a top mount a/a?

by **Malcolm** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 8:02 pm

also judging by that pic the pipe in st215 caldina gt-t's is a single piece from turbo - airbox, whereas on st185's it's 3 pieces from turbo to afm

by **CozmoNz** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 8:48 pm

Someone wanna post up a ST185 Engine bay pic?

I was thinking that... Map sensor vs Afm being diferent seris engines and all X_X

by **Kevorkian** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 8:50 pm

it is indeed a 3pce intake pipe going from the air box to the turbo

by **caldinagtt** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 9:17 pm

why bother fixing it rip it out bang the battery to the boot and put a straight bit of stainless pipe to a pod filter and get a oil catch can.

by **flygt4** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 9:42 pm

its not quite as straight forward as that.. there is a fuse box that needs to move a bit , and the sometimes the afm wiring isnt long enough to move forwards much.. can be done tho

Caldina GTT · by **Inane** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 9:25 am

worse case, stick a pod straight off the turbo,
and put in o catch can

by **Kevorkian** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 10:27 am

if i did that then i definately wouldnt have room for the AFM
