r50 qx4 2000 vg33 AIR INTAKE

[VG33QX4]

i have been unable to locate any aftermarket replacement air intake. does anyone know of a place.

I am trying to fix my cracked elbow. the elbow that meets the throttle body has a crack and it needs to be replaced, however i am unable to locate this anywhere.

I have also noticed that the tube between the elbow, to the air box is squished like an oval. that's crap.

so i need an elbow and a pipe that would replace the plastic tube, any suggestions or pre-made intake like this?

perhaps a simple spectre elbow and a silicone coupler would be the easiest route.

ive seen weapon R intakes that fit.

I have a jim wolf intake but unfortunately it does not replace the plastic tube.

if you have a junk yard or a pick and pull near your place, you could call them up and see if they have a r50 in their yards, if they do you can just take it off for a small price i think.

Dont like the Weapon R. Make one out of Spectre intake parts. I will look for the link where I supplied part no's etc.

[m0nkeyprince]

VG sorry for late response. You would probably need different part no's to make it fit with stock box. I didnt try it as I have had the Jim Wolf Pop Charger for about 8 or 9 years.

Re: where to buy: Pepboys, Autozone, AdvanceAuto, or Amazon. They all have slightly different parts. I went to so many different places I couldnt say where I got them. Probably some from each. The good part is you can buy a number of different ones and return what you dont need.
