Question regarding silicone Intake piping

[Ty1]

Hi guys, I've just replaced the stock turbo on my r33 gtst with a td06 as well as a few other upgrades. With the intake housing of the turbo i ended up using a 90 degree silicone joiner to a small section of alloy pipe to hook it up to the intercooler piping. My question is how heat resistant is silicone? I've done searches on google but want to know if anyone else has a similar setup to mine and if its an issue using a silicone joiner so close to the exhaust manifold. The way the turbo is positioned, the silicone pipe sits around 10mm from the exhaust manifold which ive had ceramic coated so it does trap a lot of the heat inside of it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Weld an alloy pipe on it or buy a whole heap of silicon joiners so you can replace them every time one fails.

A bit of silicon doesn’t belong 10 mm from an exhaust manifold, period. I really think you know that though. ?

Clock your compressor cover and redo the piping. JOB DONE!

I’ve got pretty much the same joiner on my hks 2535

Been there coming up 4 years now. I’ve just made sure there was nothing sharp/close to it and it seems to have done the job so far

Or get some acl heatshield; make a small cover for that part of ex manifold. That stuff is amazing for stopping radiant heat.

Cheers for the advice guys [emoji5] will look into some heat shield wrap as a temp solution and see how that goes. I eventually want to replace it with a section of alloy pipe just to be safe
