Hi,

Just looking for some information regarding what size silicon joiners to get for my gtr (r32), will be replacing all I/c piping.

So far i have worked out the pipe size of the turbo size to be

60mm (2.3inch)

and

80mm (3.14inch)

Do i just go one size up for the silicon?

(im ordering from the us, so can't test fit before buying)

Pretty sure gtr piping is 80mm.. well at least that is what I have in the shed anyway, aftermarket intercooler piping kit to replace the stock rubber bits. Annoyed with the length of the joiners that came in the kit so have just recieved a 1m length of 80mm to cut to length and fit myself. Bought mine from GCG. In black... :down:

can i ask the cost of the 1m length?

I guess my piping is different as im using a HKS kit.

been looking at afew places and would perfer to use samco silicone but most places have told me 4-6weeks wait on black :P

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
