ea82t and the liberty waic

Post by twilightprotege » Mon Mar 30, 2009 6:38 pm

well i've been trying to find, with no luck, a silicone 90 degree reducer that goes from 44mm to 51mm so i can have a nice pipe from the turbo to the waic.

what does everyone do for this?

the 70mm from the waic to the 60mm TB isnt so difficult to find (just expensive), just need to know what do to with the other.

What you may be able to do is get an exhaust place to make you a stainless or steel reducer and join either side with a parallel ruber or silicon hose .

Also it sounds silly but PVC pipe plumbing/reducers can work well and be reasonably cheap , don't rust either .

Just watch that PVC doesnt melt or dissolve in the hot/oily conditions

I'd be trying to use the factory recirculating system particularly if you have a Vane or Hotwire air flow meter .

Surely someone can expand a piece of exhaust tube in the short term to tide you over .

will probably end up running without the waic until i can get the silicone.

it's kind of a which comes first, chicken or egg, thing..... i need to build the brackets for the waic to work out what silicone i need, but i need the silicone to place the waic in the right place. yay
