1.5T Aliexpress aluminum Civic 1.5t turbo inlet pipe discussion

[lunabar825]

I can tell you something I like about this a lot, just from eyeballing it. I don't think I mentioned this anywhere else but I don't want to seem like I'd be raining on people's parade. The inside of this TIP appears to be very smooth. The 27Won TIP is very rough inside. Smoothness is very important to me since airflow is affected by how smooth an intake is inside. It's merely internal aerodynamics. The smoother the surface, the better the airflow. It's just me being nitpicky but otherwise I love the 27Won. However, this is +1 for this intake.

And the cost is damn cheap for how 'complicated' a piece this is to make. Also, look at their price for their downpipe/frontpipe. Holy crap! Awesome!

Just Like porting

Yes, their catted 200cell dp (3" taper to 2.5") and 2.5" fp is dirt cheap.

Be careful when considering the purchase of their downpipe. I am not seeing any cat converter 'stay' piece, to keep the downpipe/frontpipe from moving around too much. Without this piece on a CVT Civic, your front pipe will move around and come into contact with your intermediate driveshaft.

Thanx, was just curious. It's a min. order of 5 pieces. But yeah it's cheap. I'm going for the RV6 or PRL catted downpipe. Including shipping they are the same price. Don't know which one to choose. I think they are the same quality? Not doing frontpipe at this moment. Don't think it will bring much more power.

Ow btw i have manual transmission.

its rounder then compare to flat pancake inlet pipe. check the picture compare with oem inlet pipe, btw m not sure which oem inlet pipe are those maybe its si or non si

Looks like the Si!

yes its SI oem TIP as i didnt see any heat proof metal sheet below on non-si inlet pipe. Btw how much difference you got after adding SI TIP on your car?

I don't know because I added the Si turbo at the same time. I can say though that by removing the Si TIP and adding the larger 27Won TIP, my maf g/s went up by about 5g/s on average.

Hi,

The Si inlet pipe part number is: 17270-5AM-A00.
As we know the Si turbo and the 1.5T CR-V turbo are the same.
Is the CR-V inlet pipe (17270-5PA-A00) same as the SI?

 

[Anger]

no it is not. You can use the Si inlet turbo on the CRV but this means you will have to delete the intake resonator.

How reliable can products really be built by slave labor?

it all depends on the welds and production quality? some go through QC and are outstanding. some just suck

 

[Donk232]

Sry to bring back such an old post, but did anyone get one? Would it fit an SI? I really like how they look tbh.

 

[Cissac]

I just ordered one so I will let you all know how it goes. Aside from air temp changes what else should I monitor to get a better reading on the benifits of the part?
