MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 If any of you know any of the following please let me know: Size (in inches) of: Stock TB? ZXT AFM? T3 outlet? You see I decided to go this route: http://www.siliconeintakes.com/intercooler-pipe-fabrication.php and am trying to figure out what pieces I am going to need to buy. The inlet and outlet are on the same side of the FMIC so it should be pretty simple once I find out the measurements. I would measure myself but I am at work right now and will be untill late tonight. Thank you. -Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Stock throttle body is 2-3/8 inch. Arent you supposed to work at work..... Thank you, so would I be able to fit 2 inch hose over it? Im not sure how much silicone hose flexes. lol, I am working at work, I am a great mutitasker:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I dont know... I know the stock afm to tb boot is a really tight fit, it might be a 2 inch pipe? Whats the next largest size? You could get yourself a 60mm Tb and that might fit better, and youd "gain" power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well the inlet and outlet on my intercooler are 2 inches, I guess I will just have to measure the stock afm boot tomorrow. Unless somebody on here knows? The next size up is 2.25, then 2.5, 2.75, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 2-3/8 is 2.375, so if anything the 2.25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 2-3/8 is 2.375, so if anything the 2.25. Ive never even touched silicone hose before so I have no idea how stiff it is, would 2.25 clamp down to a 2 inch surface? sorry for all of the questions I just dont want to order the wrong stuff. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Wouldnt the 2.25 fit the 2.375 tb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would assume so, with a little bit of lube it should be a nice snug fit, Im just wondering if the 2.25 will be able to clamp down enough to fit my 2 inch intercooler outlet. I imagine most types of hoses would but Im unsure about how much silicone can flex. EDIT: scratch that, I just saw where they had reducers, from 2.25-2.00, so now I know what sizes I need from the intercooler to the TB! But not from the zxt afm to the turbo, or the turbo to the intercooler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 t3- 2" zxt afm-3.2 in and out. and stock tb fits fine with a 2.25 silicone coupler just fine. and no you can not shrink 2.25 silicone coupler to 2inches lol and yeah go ahead and lube up all your intercooler piping.. you will have fun blowing your intercooler piping all the time.

hughdogz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 T3 compressor inlet is 2.25". I second jeffer949 on the rest. If you're going with t-bolt clamps (which you should, they're only about $4 each) don't find out the hard way that a 3" t-bolt clamp won't fit a 3" coupler (since the coupler diameter is larger). A 3.5" t-bolt will fit a 3" coupler depending upon if you get 3-ply or 4-ply couplers and the manufacturer. 2" coupler uses 2.375" clamp, 2.625" clamp for a 2.25" coupler, etc. Results may vary, but you get the idea. You can make a 3" coupler fit the 3.2" AFM if you really stretch it. You can use a an ordinary hose clamp instead of a 3.5-3.75" t-bolt for the AFM since it will never be pressurized above atmospheric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 sweet, now how about the turbo outlet, like, in between the turbo and intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 its 2 inches on the outlet. 2.25 is the inlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaniuk Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think its 2" outside diameter off of the T3 (like, in between the turbo and intercooler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 alrighty, thanks everyone, now I know what sizes I need, and now for the angeled pieces, but that, I can only find out on my own, thanks again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
