Yeah, Wiggins. 5 in total. Blown cooler pipes are no longer (unless the plenum one pops). No more taking front bars off!

Thinking about painting the airbox black, cutting a hole in the top of it and using the factory airbox snorkel to feed the box too. Can't hurt!?

Silicone is good for 40 psi or so, you will be fine !

Looking GOOD brother!

I like how they ran your piping. Mine is out to the side to make room for the PS reservoir and such, but I like yours a lot. Hypertune is top-notch stuff! I am always leary of 100% solid connections to the coolers because it seems they might induce stress on the piping and turbo manifolds when the engine torques around, but they don't have anything that looks as sexy as that to be honest!

Have a look. They move around quite a fair bit. More than enough when all combined I'd say. :)

My fabricator is trying to talk me out of going aluminium piping, those pics just about sealed the deal for me :) looks great. I'll need to do some reading on these so called Wiggins clamps

There isn't much you need to know, they are bright purple and very racecar. Just open up your wallet and prepare for butthurt when you hear the price.

On topic, I cannot wait for this to be done. The EFR looks very at home in there that's for sure.

Adel Wiggins clamps. They're actually aviation gear but can be used in automotive applications also. They're a bit of a homo colour but they're that colour so plane guys can see them.

Make sure you're sitting down when you see the price.

What's wrong with alloy piping? Does he want to use stainless?

Yeah we use them at work (I work in an aviation environment) and they are used for everything. If they can handle bleed air straight from a turbine compressor (80+ psi and a couple of hundred degrees Celsius) then they should stop a cooler pipe coming off ;)

You should ask about having them lockwired piggaz. Just for some extra security/piece of mind.

Lock wired is a bit too much. I really can't see these blowing off with 30-35 psi considering they're rated to 150-200 psi or something. If they do then there would be another issue like a busted engine mount.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
