jza800 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) 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??

Can i just put a hose in between there, as you can get a hose in 76mm and 200mm long? Edited August 2, 2020 by jza800 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'd replace the pipe that's too short with another hard pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza800 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 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..

j_jza80 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Take it to a fabricator to weld an extra section onto that pipe. Introducing extra hose joints in the system is Introducing extra potential failure points, as would be bodging a universal piece of silicone pipe to join that gap.

Noz Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that affects the FMIC pipes, i had TRD widebody with no need to change the cooler pipe work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
