What Size Pipes
 
Just wondering what size pipes etc I need to run a cold air feed from inner wing to throttle body for a 180. Oh and does anyone know where I can get a cheap breather from for the idle control valve thingymajiggy??

Cheers :)

I used 2 90deg aluminium bends and some 76mm silicone.
I actually have 600mm of silicone tubing left as I only used 400mm and bought a meter. Also I have a breather but it wont bolt straight on believe its 25mm diameter but will check if wanted. I think I may have some of the flexi Neoprene tubing thats also 76mm that I decided not to use.

Tb is about 71mm. 70mm (2" 3/4) is a standard size but 76mm (3") is cheaper and more common.

So my idea for a cheap induction kit is

a 76/70 reducer. ?6

then a stainless bend, not alloy so I can Tig weld a "T" in for the idle ?12

Options then are more pipe work to the inner wing with a quality open cone filter or a budget induction kit. ?45

Did you see the post on the guys that had the ITG style hose made by PSH ?

I was going to give them a ring today, they may be more interested if they are making up a batch instead of one :whistle:

There was a group buy for the silicon pipe from PSH but it didn't show much interest and in the end there were just 2 orders including one from me. The pipe itself is ?50 and PSH should have all the dimensions to make another one. I have not fitted it so don't know how well fit it is. Heard from the other guy who bought one that slight trimming is needed that was all.

I can always take a photo of the silicon pipe and posted up if people want to see it. It basically looks like the ITG pipe.

Just a cheap one for now will do but all ideas worth mulling over, like I said after christmas I will prob go for the ITG/K&N Apollo kind of thing .

Thanks for the help guys ;) :)
