Just making up some intercooler piping for a 450x300 core.

Anybody know a place to get cheap bends? Most places have to order in etc..

Making the piping up myself so have to get some silicon joiners and pipes. Also need some straight pipe. Going 2.5"

I'm just goign to use mild steel in case I need to weld. Will give the outside some coats of paint to minimise corrosion.

Cheers

You think so?

I thought I would get mild steel so I can weld it if required and also to put the lips on.

With aluminium I cant really do that.

What sort of price is the Al?

I can get a 180 degree for $40 ..90 degree for $26 and $26 per metre. That is anodised mild steel.

What about silicon joiners - where are they cheaper?

Thanks

Theres a place out at Richmond that does them ! Buggered if I can remember their name though but I do remember they were bloody cheap though. About 12 bucks for 90 degree bends. Ive also seen them in Peps auto spares and i think they were about 20 odd bucks for a 90 !

They where mild steel bends. Was gonna go to Peps at Wetherill Park this arvo but ran out of time. I'll have a go in the morning and let you know. Glad to hear the gear knob is still good, how longs it been on now ?

P.S. got a carbon fiber center section prototype just about done, looks very hot .

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
