Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[acsplit]

Wiggins clamps look mint Big Baller.

Like the rest will wait for a skid vid.

[acsplit]

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 !

[fatz]

Silicone is good for dd cups as well

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.

No more pissing up on the weekends, finish it

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

[iruvyouskyrine]

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?

[Leroy Peterson]

lol

What's this about only being available in 1.5" and 3.5"?

Purple is for the Gloria... Maybe the pulsar needs some too.

[Piggaz]

They're available in all sorts of sizes. Even "- fitting" sizes.

[iruvyouskyrine]

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.

Hurry up and finish it flamin mongrel

I live in shitney again now so you can let me bang gears n shit

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Hail to the king baby!
