Intercooler to Throttle body pipes?

Gannon · Post by **Gannon** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 12:13 pm

I need to go from my intercooler 70mm (2 3/4") to the throttle body 60mm (2 3/8")

What have you used on the throttle body that fits 60mm?

Im tempted to use a 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" silicone reducer bend, but im wondering will it clamp down from 63mm to 60mm?

I assume it would.

Open to suggestions

Those big banjo clips (several different names for them) should do the job.

I use a 2 1/2" 90 degree silicone bend to a piece of 2 1/2 exhaust pipe with a hose tail welded into it for the cold idle then a 2 1/2" to a 2 3/4" reducer onto the wrx intercooler held together with "T" clamps.

Ive ordered a silicone reducer 2 3/4" to 2 1/2"

This will sit on top the TB and i will have a piece of 2 3\4" SS pipe to go between bend and intercooler

Thanks guys

I've been right on this topic meself and oddly a largeish 2.5 inch silly bend with each end of the straights cut off is a snug fit on the 60mm EA82T trottle.

OPTION#2 is having me mixer suspended on these silly bends i got ebay

tell me you got yours on ebay !! cheap

Also in the middle of grafting a gas adaptor onto the throttle body so the mixer OPTION #3 can sit just atop the throttle - looking at brazing them ????
