Hey guys.

Just in the process of getting some pricing together on a mixture of silicon joiners/elbows and reducers.

Getting prices so far on Turbosmart and Plazmaman. Used turbosmart before and quality is great but price is expensive. Has anyone used plazmaman silicon parts to vouch for their quality? Also is there any other brands people can recommend for me to price up. Must be good quality and price competitive (note competitive. not bargain bin).

Currently only sent an email to one of the business traders on site pending reply. Quick price at autobarn (ouch on certain bits), and plazmamans website.

Cheers for any thoughts and suggestions. (as i'm looking in the vicinity of $300 or more so its worth so its worth looking around)

Go to any hose place. Purple cop, HIS Hose, Enzed, Pirtek.

They stock all that kinda stuff, colours are red/black/blue.

I can't remember the brand my blue stuff is unfortunately - Racepace sourced it for me :)

I do know AVO also stock some brands. It'll be on their website.

Most retailers for performance cars charge through the ass though i've found - and you're better off going to hose places/truck shops and so on.

I just use the thermal flex stuff, works fine and i didn't think it was that dear if you source it out.

I want to replace all mine with Greddy or HKS silicone :) Just can't make myself blow so much money on something so pointless just cause it has a brand on it. Then again off of Nengun the Greddy silicone delivered isn't that much more than off the shelf price in stores for Turbosmart etc.

    • Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.
    • Ah right that makes sense.
    • The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc. 
    • Apexi, though I'm not comfortable with setting the idle, knowing me I'll f**k it up lol.
    • What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
