Intake pipe for Galant

[turboflanagan]

Is there an intake pipe that will attach to an 18g that will stuff a gm mas and a 3.5" K&N filter up behind the headlight and against the fender?

It has been so long since I have looked at modding this thing, I don't even know where to start looking.

I called Dejon today and the guy I spoke with said he didn't really know what would fit on the Galant. They don't make anything for it and didn't know if anything would fit.

Do I just need to have something made, or does somebody make one already?

I'm assuming you've relocated the battery?

Anything that works for a 1G will work for us, in that case.

 

[turboflanagan]

Yes, the battery is in the trunk now. Thanks for the input.

Just use one of the Dejon intake pipes made for a DSM and add a longer piece of hose to connect it to the turbo, effectively pushing the filter closer to the fender. Works great.

Why would you run a GM MAS if you are planning on running it preturbo? I thought the only reason for running a GM MAS was to put it post turbo so you could run a vented blow off valve. I would just run a 2g or 3g MAS in the case of running a MAF pre-turbo. As for what intake to use, any 1g intake will work as long as your battery is relocated (including the Dejon tool and FP intake pipes). Good luck, happy modding! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, I would put the MAF on IC pipe (Throttle body side) and just run any old intake pipe on it - dejon tools or make your own if you want. I wouldn't put the MAF on the turbo inlet.

Heck, you could even cut out where the stock battery sits and make your own cold air by running pipe and filter in there. My 1st gvr4 had this setup coz it was running a VPC.

Talk to the wopper - he is running MAF-T, I think which is slicker than the exxon valdez.

I'm running Maftpro on 1051 and a 2gMaf/SAFC combo on 503 actually. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Do I just need to make this out of lego, or does somebody make one already?



Fixed that for ya. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I don't have enough room to put even the gm maf on the intercooler pipe without very sharp bends immediately before, after or both from the maf. The 2 ft of intercooler pipe with the pwr air/water intercooler won't allow it.

And if Legos are good enough to build Ferrari's, then I think they will do on the G-ride! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If you can't fit the MAF post turbo, then why in the world you want to "downgrade" to a GM MAF? 2g MAFs are fine up till near 500whp and Evo 3 MAFs are even more free flowing.

 

[turboflanagan]

I have been running the gm maf for years now and am finally getting around to putting some sort of respectable intake pipe on it.

I am, however, looking for a dsmlink and 2g maf for it also.

^ got a guy I know with both for sale I could talk to him if you like.

 

[turboflanagan]

Definitely let me know.
