200mm silicon hose vs pipe

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have a gab about 150mm to 170mm between the intercooler pipe that goes from the intake to the pipe that connect to the intercooler because the intercooler pipes cannot reach each other

, can i just run a 200mm silicon hose on that gab, or do i have to find a 100mm pipe to put in between the hoses??

 

and how much it will expand if you drive with a boost pressure of maximum 1.5 bar? because i have the ac lines over there, and i know the pipes runs very close to the ac connectors there, so if it expand to much i am afraid it would make a hole in the silicon hose??

i found that too, but can i use a hose instead of the pipe? as i think 4 clamp so close take much space.. so that is way i was wondering if i could use a straight silicone hose there?

 

Can i just put a hose in between there, as you can get a hose in 76mm and 200mm long?

I'd replace the pipe that's too short with another hard pipe

 

I can't do that as i can not get that hard pipe longere, it is the one that connect on the intake, and the other goes to the intercooler, so i can't find some that are longere..

What intercooler kit do you have fitted ?

Think i'd be buying a known kit that fits to be honest, had no issues with my HKS intercooler and pipes

 

I had a perfect fit on this kit, it is after i have build another bumper to mine, after my widebody build, the changes i did on the bumper is the cause of this now.

He may need a joiner anyway. Depending how its piped welding then together may not be an option. Might make it unable to come off the car if he creates a loop.

 

Always opt to weld over silicone.

 

For this instance. I would use a piece of pipe and two separate joiners.

 

Yes its a pain in the ass to get two silicone pieces and a bead on the lips.

 

Silicone may be able to take the pressure of the internal boost. But that angle may cause the silicone to deform to a shape that restricts flow.

 

Conclusion. If you cant weld it. Add a piece of pipe!

Not sure how that affects the FMIC pipes, i had TRD widebody with no need to change the cooler pipe work
