New on the Market: Atp 3" Turbo Inlet for the MS3

[ElBartoRex]

"3" inlet pipe kit for the Mazdaspeed 3. Replaces the restrictive "pancaked" inlet pipe between turbo and MAF housing. Nicely cast aluminum part designed for maximum flow and proper clearance. Internal and external of inlet tube is tumble polished for maximum flow. Specify stock turbo (2" inlet) or Garrett (4" inlet) for proper transition hose to be packaged into the kit. Also specify color of silicone connectors."

looks nice-- interesting to see what kind of power gains can be had with this kit..

keep an eye on JSC Speed in 2008--- we will be launching the MS3 section of our website shortly!

Very nice looking piece. Question, how would this work, and would it, with an aftermarket CAI?

I'm not sure about the other cold airs on the market but the cp-e one stops there I think. I'm thinking they stopped though because of the PITA it will be to get back there to change that peice out, for I'm assuming a not to great gain. Before and after dynos would be swell.

I was just thinking today....."when is somebody going to make a inlet pipe for this car?" Looks very nice, now introduce it with a group buy

If its anything like adding an inlet to a Subaru, then it will increase spool up time and give slight gains. Worth the money IMO. Plus, they offer it with a 4" inlet (drive)

I'm sure it will work with aftermarket intakes the inlet is the pipe after the intake pipe. Considering most ms3 owners have intakes they would be crazy to make it not fit.

so lets say if I have the begi air box, this will replace from the turbo all the way to where the begi air box is?

The air box connects up to the stock tubing

like that.

I know this is a dumb question, i just cannot believe that someone would make exactly wat I was looking for!


275 bucks, pretty expensive. Wish I could see the gains

 

[andre0121]

i got the cobb sri so basically i wouldnt need the black rubber tube right? i could just keep the cob sri n connect it to the polished aluminum inlet pipe...?..........am i rihgt?

 

[redspeed]

Wow, this is nice! Do you know an approximate price on this?

 

[numbnuts22715]

275. I posted it up in my post.

I didnt expect itto be that much, but maybe it's worth it.

 

[redspeed]

Thankx. $275? Hmmm, I need to see gains #'s.

But I did my own cai, so I think I can figure this out, maybe.

 

[Sierra117]

275 aint that bad, or maybe I'm just so used to working on BMW aftermarket stuff that starts at like, four hundred, that 275 seems cheap. I say group buy, or give me one to test, lol.

 

[subparpunk03]

They made something like this for the speed6 right? Have those guys seen any gains from something like this? I'm too lazy to check out the speed6 section of the forum, but I remember a buddy of mine with a speed6 telling me about how restrictive the stock turbo inlet was.

seems like it would be almost worth it to just include a MAFs adapter and a cone filter and round it up to $300. might be more worth it then. looks like a quality piece though.

wonder what kinda gains would be had with the ATP pipe and a stock airbox with a K&N filter in it, probably a modded lower airbox. would be pretty stock looking and probably have similar gains to an SRI.

Nah, the stock airbox is the bottle neck on the stock intake. I'm pretty sure that this inlet with a cai will be a good combo, but I'm kind of skeptical about a really good hp gain. If we gain more than 10hp then is worth it imo.

 

[Kurt07]

Where does the bypass valve get routed to? From the pictures provided, I don't see anywhere to route that hose to.

 

[fourthmeal]

Subbing.

Nice piece, but it may be good for them to offer an option that excludes that last elbow, since a lot of CAI's and SRI's (I'm thinking Cobb specifically) replace that one already.

Everybody says the stock airbox is restrictive, is there proof of this? And I not talking about adding an intake and leaning out the afr's to get more power.....

On the begi air box, the stock tubing is left alone, and just a better filter is put on. Gains were 18 whp, 26 wtq.
This was done on my car, same day, like an hour between the first set of pulls(stock) and the second set of pulls(begi cool air box)

I dont tthink the restriction is within this, but it still may help a little.

Do you have afr's on both runs? I assume no tuning as well?
