I've seen those really high quality (anodised, I think) Intercooler hose clamps around.

Anyone know where you get them ? (online or shopfront)

I've done a stack of google searches and I can only find the standard stainless steel clamps.

Thanks in advance.

B-Man, head to your nearest Pirtek, they have the clamps that you want.

Yeah... Enzed, Pirtek, Purple Pig.

All have the big chunky clamps :domokun:

Although if your blowing piping, it also doesnt hurt to add to the lip around the pipe end. This provides more for the clamp to stop at.

I had to add a 3-4mm to the diameter even with big fat clamps for one of my pipes in setups gone by. It just wouldnt hold 24psi until i lipped it a bit more

I think he is talking about these (circled in black)

Speak to Bezerkley Automotive, on their website there are some pics of a car with them.

Wiggin's clamps ( the purple ones) are the shiz...bit exy though...if you find them somewhere at reasonable cost id like some too.

EDIT: here's some.. http://atsperformance.com.au/ATS/catalog/cat_fuel.htm

i would avoid the t-bolt clamps b-man. they are ok, but mainly just work by exerting a shitload more pressure on things. having that much force can damage the joiners and sometimes the pipes themselves, partically the cast alloy pipes. the wiggans clamps are good shit but very pricey, and not sure they are really designed to work with 'normal' style piping and silicone joiners. I would reccomend the sard dual bead clamps. they look like a normal hose clamp, but have 2 sealing beads so less force is required on them to maintain a good seal, and they don't damage your hoses.

Thanks guys - been searching on those Wiggens ones - US$97 for a 3" = and I need 6 of them plus others - fark that......

Where to get the Sard one Richard ?

I'm not keen on the T-Bolt ones either.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
