Intercooler - silicone hoses
It's time to to sort out the collapsing rubber hoses and inflating o-rings once and for all, and replace them with silicone 'n' stainless. The list of items below is missing any refernce to actual hose, and it's this I'd like advice on. Comments also welcome please on the list.
57mm 45Ί silicone bend (EGR end) 57mm 90Ί stainless pipe 57mm-51mm 90Ί reducer (intercooler end - fits onto the black plastic 90Ί bend pipe with the infamous o-rings) Thanks.

Thats the right bits you need. All available on ebay. In regards to the stainless 90 degree bend, ensure you get one with the groove on the ends to prevent the silicone pipes popping off under boost pressure. If the stainless pipe just has flat ends, the silicone pipe will keep popping off no matter how good the clamp holding it is.

They just come in a standard size i believe. Usually 150mm in length if i rememver correctly. The silicone pipes can be cut down in size if you want to make them shorter.

You could always go with one from Jules save all the joints with silicone?

Thanks for that. So - 1 x 150mm length of 57mm hose will suffice for the job? Also I can't see any ribbed 90Ί stainless ends.

Here's the bits you will need: 57mm 45degree bend silicone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/45-Degree...frcectupt=true 57mm 90 degree stainless pipe: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-25-57mm...frcectupt=true 57mm to 51mm 90 degree reducer silicone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-...frcectupt=true Also get yourself some decent clamps or jubilee clips for the pipes. I use Mikalor heavy duty ones but thats because I run a higher boost pressure on mine: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIKALOR-W...frcectupt=true I think the size you need is 60-63mm, as the 57mm pipe size is internal diameter, not external. |
