Check out our true 3" turbo inlet. Fits stock AND GT-series huffers alike!

I would put my money down on this instant if someone would take my money haha

Randy is getting the prototype actually... It isn't dead nuts on, but it is close enough. I was curious about weather or not it was going to work well to cut the thing up and attach a reducer (i designed it so you could do it, but the process of making these isn't exact), so as soon as i knew Randy was getting it, i busted out the knife.

peep this:





it works great! so basically, we are going to put this on, and on the other end of the inlet (where the CAI goes) we are going to go from a 3"→3.5" transition, and attach the larger MAF housing. Hopefully Randy will be putting down monster HP numbers, very soon!

Sounds like a great part and CPE is the bomb!

I would order one now but after buying SB + Pro Fuel + PNP + Springs + Oil Conversion + Sandwich Plate I am a bit strapped. Plus the stupid USD to CAD exchange rate is in the dumps, I don't really want to pay $300 CAD + shipping for it right now. But it is for sure on the list. After my meth kit.

[MattMPS3]

Looks great, put me down for one.

[Trinity]

Ohhhhhhhh I love it! I was hoping it was around $200 shipped so this is perfect. Whoever is gonna intro price it please let me know!

[phailerider]

Well Ive got the only "official" purchase orders in on these guys. That means i get mine first. Its a big purchase order.... cpe will fill me and sell their direct orders. Beware of other vendors offering a preorder on this part as to my knowledge i am the ONLY vendor who has actually committed to these and that means that other vendors may be waiting until round two.

I WILL not accept money unless i know they are in the pipeline and I will not accept money for product i havent officially ordered that i know is in the pipeline. that happened with nanos... some guys had to wait a LONG time, from vendors who never had a commitment on a timetable. based on initial interest in my pms...i expect this to be a hot product. dont be surprised if they sell VERY quickly.

pm me now to get in on the list.

And thanks for posting those pics Cam.... this EXACT inlet is what im going to run on my car. It can be modified to fit ANY turbo size. any gt series turbo will have no problem fitting this.

I am going to intro price these certainly... you all deserve it because youll have to wait for them another 1-2 weeks. Im headed to CPE on the 30th of this month through the weekend to finish up my car. i will ship FROM DC if they are ready at that time. if they are in hand at CPE "by the end of the month".... that means they go out that Monday 12 days from today.

[timv]

Just sent my pre payment!!!!!

[steven88]

i wonder why cp-e went with a full 3 inch? they did mention in their cai thread that transitioning from different sizes isn't good

so why go from 2.5 inches to 3 inch then down back to 2 inch (turbo side)

cobb will be staying 2.5 inches all the way across

[phailerider]

oh really?
are they gonna offer a new turbo in order to accomplish this?

this inlet will flow. there are already a bunch of inlets available at 2.5in. if you want to wait on a cobb inlet at that size for your stocker turbo give it a go.

this inlet is something different. your going to have to link the context of the statement you quoted from cpe. but i know they wernt interested in making another tinker toy for the car with this inlet. im grateful... i wanted a larger 3in inlet to replace my atp which despite the fitment issues... DOES pick up noticeable power.

[bova]

i agree with palerider, the cobb inlet can't be 2.5" the whole way across, as it has to go down to the correct size at the turbo which i think is like 2" or 2.25".

[LBV]

As is the case currently with EMS, CP-E is the better solution for those that are big turbo or are planning on it.

[Darksun280]

Sorry to be repetitive but your saying me having a 3inch mouth on my turbo I should be able to put this straight on my 60-1 also its 3 inches at the intake side?

sorry if i wasn't clear...but i meant 2.5 inches across the whole turbo inlet then shrinking down to 2 inches where it meets the actual turbo....i thought this was a given since EVERY single turbo inlet has to shrink down to the stock turbo size in order for it to fit correctly...RPMC shrinks down using a silicone coupler....so does HPT

Cobb's and CP-E will be shrinking too....but the thing i am wondering is with cp-e....why does it start at 2.5 (beginning of inlet) then bump up to 3 inches (middle of inlet) then back all the way to 2 inches (mouth of turbo)

cobb stays 2.5 inches from the intake till the mouth of the turbo...where it HAS to shrink down cuz of the size of the stock turbo

Nah, it probably isn't clear from the pictures, but it doesn't transition from 2.5"-3" and back down to 2.5". It actually starts out as a 3" circle, then transitions into an oval (but still maintains the 3" CSA), and then tapers down to the final 2" at the turbo.

Why did we do this? Because the guys with big turbos and big MAF housings aren't going to want a 2.5" inlet.

So i'm good to order from randy? i have a 3inch maf housing and the 60-1 turbo has a 3 inch inlet on it will this work for me? I'm pretty much at crunch time and want me make sure before I send randy the money or im gonna have to stick with a custom inlet.

[Trinity]

sent my prepay today. Can't wait........

[BreakTheStatic]

Wait, what is the diameter of the Cobb SRI, 2.5" or 3"? Will there be any issues with it fitting. I thought not, but then again I don't have any of the measurements.

Hey Phil, you're welcome to order from Randy, but communicate with him about your order. In other words, I know that he's getting an allotment from our first production run, so I'd just contact him to make sure that he'll put one aside for you.

[MattMPS3]

Payment sent, and a big thanks to Randy for helping us Aussies get our our cp-e goodies.

I need a favor I need you guys to check to see what the inner diameter is at intake side. My maf housing has an OD of 3.1x and I'm worried that the Maf may be bigger then the mouth of the silicone inlet making it impossible for the maf i have to go inside of it. Can you check please other wise I can't use this for my project.

[killa cam]

↑↑↑ it will fit. it is about 3.07", and it stretches. i am confident you will be able to fit a 3.1x OD object in there. you are thinking of sticking a MAF housing directly onto the inlet? Interesting...

Yup since the inlet is silicone and the maf is metal the inlet will act like a coupler and i'll just Tbolt it. It works in my head at least as long as the inlet can stretch enough. If Randy can't get them in his hand and to me before the 4th I'm gonna have to bail though and stick with a custom one.

[Trinity]

The inlet is silicone going to the turbo, going to the MAF it has the metal coupler where you'd mount another silicone coupler like you get with the CP-e or Cobb SRI.

[airjeff]

So, does it come with a coupler to attach to smaller than 3" intakes? Or would I have to order one? Their website isn't specific about that.

[killa cam]

we are figuring that out... there are a lot of combos out there, and we are going to need a bunch of couplings in stock to give to people. what intake do you have?

[timv]

I'm curious about this too. I have the CP-E xcel CAI.
Is this something I should make sure Randy knows before he ships mine to me?
Thanks...

[BreakTheStatic]

I asked this before but I think it got overlooked... is this going to mate up to Cobb's intake. I'm all for giving more business to CP-E but I wanted to avoid connecting it like a puzzle with extra adapters, going down in size and then coming back up, etc... What's the word?

[DeadWayt]

Don't hold me to this, but I'm pretty sure the silicone elbow that comes with the xCel should mate up to the inlet without trouble.

[Trinity]

I'm planning on getting a Nano SRI, I'm not sure if the silicone coupler that comes with the Nano will mate with the turbo inlet or need an adapter. It should. WE just need people with different intakes to measure there MAF housing tubes or whatever and compile a list of the different sizes. I'm sure there aren't that many. Most will likely be between 2.5" and 3"

[Sacrilicious]

i think you guys are probably getting panicky for no reason, because all the major intakes are designed to clamp onto the stock inlet...the cpe inlet is designed to be a direct replacement, so it will fit just fine. if it fits one of them, it will fit them all.

I'm pretty sure it's a 3" so the big MAF guys can use it. I'm using the Xcel CAI, seems like that elbow would be hard to stretch to 3".

I think this says it all...

[Superstretch18]

BTW, I just noticed that the official name is the "Nviscid™ Pipe". What the hell does that stand for?

[DeadWayt]

Wiki ref:

'In fluid dynamics there are problems that are easily solved by using the simplifying assumption of an ideal fluid that has no viscosity. The flow of a fluid that is assumed to have no viscosity is called inviscid flow.[1]"

In other words, I'm pretty sure it's nerd-wordplay, implying that the inlet provides ideal airflow into the turbo.

LOL, thanks!

[DeadWayt]

Sure. It's just an educated guess, but then again, I've had several in-person conversations with Jordan, so I know he (and perhaps others on staff) are just geeky enough to go there.

LOL, we're so called out. That was a good call Byron!

Yeah, we thought it'd be a cool name because inviscid flow basically means no friction, or no flow losses. It isn't really technically correct though because it literally means no viscosity, but the end result is the same
