Hi mate, I'm always open for advice but have no idea what you're talking about here...(non native )

do you mean that the openings of the IC don't have a 'upstanding edge' behind which you put the clamp so the hose doesn't pop off? if so what kind of clamp prevents that?

edit: btw if you do mean what I said above, it does have upstanding edges but on the pic there is still platic bags around the holes so no crap came inside during transport

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Didnt notice the swadge line on these pipes mate...

 

[Reuvers]

Oh right you mean those pipes.

The ones that have a coupler on it do have a swadge line. The above pipe without a swadge is going to be welded.

However the pipe without the swadge is also coupled on the other side. so what kind of clamps would I need for that?

Something like these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=5265561

 

[Reuvers]

so what you guys are actually talking about is clamps that will not perrish under high pressure, like the regular ones (as they usually perrish when tightening them too much). correct?

I have 5 of those clamps on order from autoperformanceonline on ebay. Seem to have good quality for good price. Except been waiting a week and a half on delivery...

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, sort of. But more the face normal hose clips cant hold the boost pressure and pop off under load.

Same as what i run on the skyline, came with my intercooler kit tho hehe

 

[Reuvers]

so those clamps are the ones to use then on the pipes that don't have the upstanding edge...will do

tarzan, this route is also slightly bigger in dimension so should have better flow. I'll keep record of what I do.

 

[h17och]

why dont you just get a swage put on the pipes?

 

[Reuvers]

why dont you just get a swage put on the pipes?

There's also an idea. I could get the welder to weld some 'bumps' on the end of the pipe behind which I can put the clamps.

good idea hooch cheers

nice mate you gone you 63mm instead of 57mm??witch washer bottle are you gone use??

 

[Reuvers]

I'm using 60mm all throughout the route. Intercooler openings are 57mm though, so will have a small switch of size on both ends.

I'll be getting a washer bottle from a golf 2

 

[Reuvers]

Figured I'd throw up a new pick of how the car stands today

Rear wheels really need some spacers between them.
I lowered the front another cm yesterday and think I'll leave it like this.
Rear is fine when I fit 8mm spacers.

 

[lm_gauci]

Looks quality. Much better on them wheels aswell.

 

[Reuvers]

Cheers Gauci.
I'll be painting them in black in the near future. Should look great imo

 

[rich.h44]
