silicone reducer help needed

[james walker]

hi fellas, i have a toyosports fmic, the outlet from turbo is 2 inch and inlet to the fmic is 2.5 inch

it all fits fine and has worked fine for months, where the pipe from the hotside to the fmic reduces from the turbo outlet is a small pipe to join.

i want to lose this pipe as its joined via 2 pieces of silicon, one being 2 inch to the turbo end, and then via 2- 2.5 reducer.

so i need a reducer which is 2.5 to 2 inch but long enough to miss out the metal joiner if that makes sense??

ive seen plenty of reducers but all seem to be not long enough.

ideally 6inchs long, but can get away with 5, most i see are 4 inches which wont be long enough

anyone know where i can get one, or any other ideas??

thanks in advance

james, try custom chrome racing, they have a website and could also make you one upto your desired length as they do custom exhausts.

do they do silicone?

 

[james walker]

would a 2.5 inch strait silicon piece over the 2 inch part cause any issues when t bolted down??

James let me know how you get on mate, I might do this too, or any other options your pondering.

 

[james walker]

cooler works ok like this, but ive got it in my head its a restriction so that joining pipes got to go tbh.

i routed mine so it was a strait path with no bend like yours, with the outlet for n75 and dv pointing left near the turbo. like the oem position.

d'oh, just re-read your post, sory mate i thought you meant a metal pipe.

Has been bugging me a bit too, for the same reason and it's actually annoying having to remove the joiners all the time to gain access to that area (which I had to do for the TIP), if it was one long pipe (like adam cupra's) it would be perfect or, as you are considering playing with the idea of a reduced long hose.

Wouldn't it need to be at a bend though?

 

[james walker]

no as i re routed mine to come strait to the turbo outlet with no bends.
