Any gains?

Utahkompressor

The intake probably not provide any gain...but the intercooler to TB pipe does!

I read somewhere in the UK forum. They dynoed about 3HP difference between OEM pipe and custom pipe.

Could you give some parts info? Where did you aquire the tube and intake box adapter from?

Utahkompressor

The tube is from W203 with M272 engine.

Intake adapter is from Home Depot...3" Polyethylene drain pipe adapter.
It's actually round, but flexible enough that I can squeeze it to the shape of the airbox.
And, I just wrapped it with 3M carbonfiber sticker.

Looks great! I was however expecting more of a "diy" instread of just pics!

Utahkompressor

There is nothing much...just pulled the old intake out and put new one in.

Pretty straightforward, so I didn't do a write-up.

where is the 3 hp coming from?

Cool, I'll have to try this one soon!

How much was the 272motor hose. I need an new one for my 03 c230. It about $60 at the dealership. I dont want to pay that much for an hose!

Utahkompressor

I bought it from trademotion...it's about $40.

Here is the differences between OEM vs custom intercooler>TB pipe.
The curvy and small diameter OEM pipe create a lot of restriction against supercharger...that's where a few horses come from!

Good to know, I love these cheap little HP gain mods!!

Where did you get the intercooler/throttle body hose?

Utahkompressor

It is HPS 90 Degree Elbow Reducer Silicone Hose 2 9/16" to 2 3/8", 60mm to 65mm.

Part number: HTSER90-238-256

You have to cut it a little bit to make it fit.

I bought this HPS pipe and tried the install yesterday. I could not for the life of me get it to sit nicely!! Am I missing something? Did you attach the pipe to the coupler at the bottom or directly over the inlet? Help! lol

MBNiko

Anybody?! Help! I put my stock pipe back on but I hear leaking sounds.... Im loosing boost

ROLLNNN

did you ever get it to sit right? do you have any pics of how its was sitting?

MBNiko

I took off the custom pipe, put the stock back on but in the process i must have damaged the coupler b/c I am leaking air. You can hear the air escaping while hitting it. Basically i tried taking off the stock pipe from the coupler and then connecting the HPS pipe to the coupler and then to the supercharger inlet. I saw another post on here about a guy who took off the whole mechanism..... the piece under the coupler. This shouldnt be too hard but the leaking is scary, Im so slow now!

I just hope your not sucking in water when it rains, just for +3 HP.

MBNiko

I placed my stock pipe back on properly conflict averted! But now i must make this work. back to the drawing board

The tube is from W203 with M272 engine.

^^ Godaddy, Amazon and WebGator?????
Certainly not pictures of a tube from a W203

Edit: Oh, I see he's already banned.

Utahkompressor

Sorry for the super late reply...I haven't checked this forum for a long time.
You have to take out these 2 screws first before you can fit the HPS pipe on...see picture!
