Charge Pipe

[rikwheeler]

Hey guys,
I know there are a few custom charge pipe/polished charge pipe threads out there but was wondering if anyone has found a clean way to block the hole up where the hose connects to the dv? I've got the cold side relocation kit so at the moment I still have a hose connected to it with a bung which looks messy.
Is there a charge pipe available without this hole or has anyone welded it up?

as far as i know there isnt one you can buy. wayne has welded his up, if i was you id get some 25mm black silicone hose and cut a 2" piece off, fit this to the charge pipe and blank it off with the blanking plug.

That's exactly what I did with mine.

OK cheers guys. Was wondering if any company would be able to make a custom one but that will probably cost a fair bit. Think I may just get a polished one from D.K. and then plug the hole up. Not going to have a an engine cover so that's why I want it to look good

Yeah I asked Rob last night and he said the same. The car's currently in the garage getting a GT2871R turbo but also getting the Eliminator kit so can still use the current hoses and piping so not sure if Rob's charge pipe dimensions would be the same. I'll ask him but think I might just get a polished one from D.K. and then maybe think about changing it in the future.

Yer just ask them to make one the same as the lcr charge pipe derrrr

 

[wayne lcr]

[Murdered LCR]

It really is rob gave his measurements they made it for him job done , you do the same for the standard one then hey presto you have a de baffeld charge pipe with just the n75 take off

 

[wayne lcr]

[Murdered LCR]

[wayne lcr]
