CP-E Turbo inlet

[RC08MS3]

my CP-E is f'in loud, all depends, the HTP is aluminum, so it dosent resist heat as well as the silicone, but most say the HTP holds against heat well. The silicone tube has a play in it, so its not a stern fit as the aluminum HTP will. Both will flow the same most likely

so which i should get cpe or htp....I heard that htp is loud ...

if you want loudness...go HTP...no question about it...I use to have an RPMC which is exactly like the HTP....that thing screamed and sounded real nice...maybe too loud for some

if you want quiet and heat resisting properties...go cobb or cp-e

We can link to autozone, you know... (whip)

Thanks for the link though...

what the hell is HTP??? I have only heard about that in this thread. Is that the one that Jarod was selling as a custom one in the GB?

really? thanks dude, i thought all links were banned but now i will know!!!

Yea the one Jarod was sellin is the HTP

and the CP-E inlet isnt all that quiet

Does anyone know what the normal operating intake air temperature is? Mine started going over 150 in traffic after I installed the inlet. What could be the reason, I wonder?

heat is not a a big problem if you have meth.....

I just installed mine today, along with the NANO. I got to say, the nano reminds me of all the low end TQ I used to have with the Cobb SRI.

And just like everyone else is trying to describe the sound. Sounds Totally different. Much more powerful sounding at WOT. Boost definetly comes on quicker.

I would say IAT anything over 140* you should avoid any WOT. What air intake are you running? It's not uncommon to heat soak your air intake while stuck in traffic. Once you start moving again it should come right down...

 

[fructus]

I've got the complete Cobb setup. It does come down very quickly once I start moving.
It's just that it didn't happen prior to the inlet install.

Can anyone with a CP-E inlet relate to this?

no, dont have an issue with mine, but from reading that thread it sounds like the BPV not the inlet. im running a Greddy RS and no issue or "bark"

 

[RichB]

we'll see how the Turbosmart works when I get it.

 

[mazdasp33d]

anyone still waiting on this? i ordered mine february 3rd, and i still dont have it. i guess i missed first production run

 

[7mileshome]

im still wating on a 3" to 3" coupler

Thread revival...

Gettin' mine next week. Any of you who have had it a few months care to chime in on how you're still liking this piece? What can I expect performance wise?

And any additional install tips?

Got mines awhile ago love it. Its worth every penny.

I'm sure you'll love it once it's installed. It's a beefy addition to your intake system.
Just a couple install tips.
When removing the stock inlet, be real careful when removing the 3/16" vacuum line that goes from the inlet to the boost solenoid. The nipple on the boost solenoid is plastic and easily breaks off if you yank on the line. Once you move the small hose clamp up, ease the hose off that nipple straight up, perhaps with a small screw driver or small hose picks. Just be careful with it so you don't break that nipple off. CP-e supplies you a new vacuum line, so you can even cut it if you want to.
Before you install the new inlet, connect the recirculation hose that goes to the BPV to the inlet before you install the inlet, it's much easier to get on and tighten the clamp while it's out of the car. Maybe get a nice new silicone recirculation hose while your at it.
Good luck!

exactly what he said...

few options on making the install easier. instructions are pretty detailed.
personally, I took out the battery tray, unclipped the ecu and pushed the whole thing towards the headlight to get better clearance. biggest pita was getting the end on the turbo. thats when houston heat and humidity started kicking in. (it makes everything harder). install is pretty easy though. but just as papaspeed said be careful with the boost solenoid. little piece has caused some ms3 owners alot of headaches.

as far as benefits of the inlet. well compare it to the stock one once you get that off and tell me which one your car is better off with lol.
turbo spool can be heard more. dont remember the effect it had on bpv noise though.

good luck with the install. hope you enjoy it. I DO! (idhitit)
