Anyone know if the ARC is quieter than the injen intake? I've got the injen now and it's getting annoying...

 

The Nisei Engineering UICP's w/HKS BOV usually come with the valves mounted on the top. In my other post I mentioned that Nisei locates the valve per customer request. You might want to read my other post and take advantage of the timing. Check it out if you get a chance.

 

Anyone have some confirmed MAF hard-pipe fitments w/ ARC Induction Box? I really wouldn't want to switch back to the plastic stock MAF pipe.

 

I have the Dejon hard pipe and I use it with the stock intake box, so it should work with the ARC intake.

 

I personally think the Samco would be the best option for the ARC box. It will reject heat a lot better than a metal pipe.

 

I'm just worried that a Samco hose would collapse under high boost.

 

How would it collapse when it's under vacuum? Only things downline from the compressor wheel are under boost AFAIK.

 

Uhhh, how wouldn't it?

Air gets sucked in...like a vacuum. Everything down the line after the turbo would expand.

 

And since the Samco hose is BEFORE the turbo, my original point stands. No?

 

I just played it safe and got ARC all the way around......question though. does the box sit that far up out of the engine bay like the pic above??? i dont think i will like the box sitting so far up like that

 

well heck anyone on here have the ARC setup??? any bung needed for the stock BOV???

and damm that samco pipe on the cold side is PRICY......lol

 

LMAO

Sorry for laughing dude but how the heck is going to collapse under vaccum, it is not like it is sealed up like a ballon. It's function is to redirect air into the turbo, you are talking like if there's a plate inside the thing that opens and closes .

 

Wow you guys are fricken intelligent...TURBOS SUCK AIR IN! I never said I was worried about it collapsing under vacuum. I said under boost.

I guess you've never heard of people with CAI having problems with the piping couplers collapsing and restricting air under boost. The Samco hose is made from silicon which to my knowledge is somewhat flexible. So add some heat from the engine and it would become even more flexible. That is the whole reason behind hard pipes. So things don't expand / collapse. So go LMAO back under your rock.

 

troof. and the hump hose goes between the uicp and the year pipe.

 

if you're installing silicon hoses so that they're acting as pipe and not sealant... you're doing things wrong.

oh wait... that's how the samco hoses are... honestly though... it's probably not a problem.

they have that induction pipe and it doesn't collapse...
