Inner Diameter of Pure Inlet

FTP came out with a newer version of their turbo inlet that is larger diameter - But I have no idea how it compares to the PURE inlet. Does anyone have a measurement?

Edit: MST has one listed as well.

This post from JKen_0115 compares the V1 FTP with the Pure: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=86

On FTP’s site, they’re showing a measurement of 51.54mm (2.03in) for V2, which looks to still be smaller than the new Pure inlet (2.27in).

Altho, I’m hoping to hear if people are happy with the V3 of the Pure inlet that is supposed to fix some seal/leak/mount issues?

Awesome!! Thank you, that was what I was looking for!

I emailed MST this morning looking for their ID as well.

Didn't realise FTP or pure have had design re-work done.

Can confirm V2 FTP inlet pipe out in the wild, contacted an ebay reseller that confirmed V2 is out. very cheap compared to the pure, tempted one day.

Can't see any evidence of a V3 Pure pipe?

‘Thanks for contacting us.
Ours is direct in kit. The inner diameter of our V1 is 47mm, V2 is 56.5mm.’

MST V1 -1.85”
MST V2 - 2.22”
Pure - 2.27”
FTP V1 - 1.87”
FTP V2 - 2.03”
Stock - 1.83”
BMS - 2.29"

Didn’t know about the MST pipe.

You guys like the Pure or MST more?

I like the looks of the MST. The Pure has a funky looking transition.

I'm not sure if silicone is a good choice for our inlet pipe. Can it withstand the heat from being near the exhaust while under boost? Anyone have any specs on this?

Yeah, but stock actually does get even more narrow.

Good catch. Looks like his American freedom units conversion is off.

47mm is 1.85” the measurements comes from MST directly. If you look at the coupling, it’s believable.

My conversation was off, updated.

So, the MST V2 to inches conversion isn’t right either, assuming the mm listed for MST are correct here’s what I’m coming up with:

MST V1 -1.85”
MST V2 - 2.22”
Pure - 2.27”
FTP V1 - 1.87”
FTP V2 - 2.03”
Stock - 1.83”

No idea, but 25.4mm per inch has been burned into my brain since engineering school and my Google spits out the right numbers.

No worries, metric to imperial conversion fails only blow up space rockets and stuff.

Any particular reason why you'd go for the narrower diameter for the MST? It's an option for 'Stock' vs 'Hybrid' turbo.

Surely even if you were going to stick with stock forever, a larger diameter would not be a negative? Perhaps to avoid the hard transition to the narrower aperture at the turbo itself?

No reason I can think of - nor would I change a lot of parts that don’t add power of break like boost pipes etc.

Get the Hybrid option or the Pure Unit.

I don’t think there’s a V3 per se.

Someone mentioned an update to V2 that was supposed to fix some fit/mounting issues. I don’t have exact info on this tho.

ZM2 so is MST v2 the same size as Pure v1 and v2 ? I went to their site and there is nothing available to determine the measurement.

( I have pure v1)

Thanks

Pure V1 - bottom coupler that you cut yr oem inlet pipe

Pure V2 - as per V1 but you buy it pre-installed into oem inlet pipe - FWIW I had this on m135i and now have it on my M2.

Pure V3 - whole pipe one piece replacement 2 releases earlier (V3a) - w/o support bracket and current (V3b) - with support bracket
