LGM/Ekapol Intake Pipes

Postby Paul.P » Wed 19.09.2007, 20:56

Nitroman has kindly offered to try & get this pipe re-made. It will come with blow-off valve, & price should be around $249-$299 + shipping. It could also be jet-hot coated if required. Final prices will be sort after interest has been ascertained.
So if your interested in one of these please post here.

Paul, do you know you could still get the upper IC pipe from Top End and then have it chromed or ceramic coated!

Did check this out Doug, & they wanted a small fortune to send me one ( $265 + shipping, without blow-off valve ), so was talking to Nitroman & he thinks he can do it for around $300 with valve , which is much cheaper !

Guys, sorry if I'm a party pooper here.

Not that my previous pipe is not good, since now they are with Paul Watkins, but from what I heard about people's comments dealing with Mr. whose name shouldn't be mentioned here.

I heard Algirdas will start cloning LGM pipe soon. Not sure if LGM would have time to start a small batch of this project.

I'd be interested in any the above, preferably if the blow-off valve is of the recirculating type. Would also like a matching shiny pipe for the turbo intake as well, a la Ekapols new turbo upgrade :wink:

The way I have both Ekapol's and my setup is recirculating. I will try to get the components for a small run of pipes, i.e. 5 as I will be doing alot of traveling in the near future. This will be for the pipe only. It will come in polished Aluminum only. If anyone would like the BOV as well it is a Greddy type RS

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merch ... y_Code=BOV

You will also need the recirc. adapter for the BOV to hose of your choice.

Post interest here and when I get back to SF tomorrow I will make some calls and get pricing togeather.

I'll look into picking up the raw materials to get the pipes done on Monday. Forgive the duration that this little project may take as I will be all over the world for the next few weeks.

LGM BOV pipe

Postby lotusgirlmarie » Wed 03.10.2007, 05:21

All of the aluminum pieces have been aquired for the 5 pipes. I need to know what colour of silicone connectors everyone would like. On my next trip out to CA I"ll try to pick all of them up and get the pipes all welded.

Another option is I can get all of the model numbers for the samco equiv. silicone fittings and then interested parties can source their own. Any thoughts?
