fmic pipe run

[Junglist]

Hi all ive got a front mount and outlets are 2 1/4" (57mm).
Im after knowing what pipes / hoses i would need to hook it up , there was a list on here on another thread but i cant find it .
As the outlets are 2 1/4" do the connecting pipes need to be the same size or bigger ?

cheers all - Dan

everythin on mine is 57mm joiners & silicone hoses apart from the end that goes on2 the turbo.... think thats slightly smaller if i remember rightly dan. 57 in2 51mm i think. :agree:

i used:

2x57mm 90 degree bends
1x57mm-51mm reducer 90 degree bend
2x57mm hard pipes
1x57mm silicone joiner 2 join on2 the carb elbow.

that was 4 my grill mount, dunno if that helps at all. :agree:

My intercooler is 57mm, but i have a reducer straight off it to 51mm, then all the rest of the pipework is 51mm, makes it abit easier in tight spaces like coming over the alternator and that.

I did it with...
5x90deg bend 51mm
2x45deg bend 51mm
2x 57mm to 51mm reducers
and abit of straight 51mm silicone/pipe to join it up

This all helps loads cheers guys:)
