I would go to one of the truck places and buy a four inch RUBBER elbow. These are used in big rig truck air induction systems. Truck snorkel intake diameters go from three inch to ten inches or more in diameter, and you can get hoses and bends fairly readily for all the sizes.

as above guys, do you guys have anywhere in oz where i can buy a bend. its for my air filter to turbo.. cheers bernie uk needsa to be 4" diameter and have about 6" legs.

If by 'alloy' you mean non-steel, read no further as this post won't help you :D

You probably want something like this:

Any exhaust shop should be able to get you one easily in mild or stainless steel

in a reasonable variety of wall thicknesses. You probably don't want it as thick as

the one above given that it's for the inlet side...

Just ask for a 4" right-angle mandrel bend in the wall thickness of your choice

Regards,

Saliya

cheers saliya.. will think on that.

warpspeed, its from the air filter to the turbo, when running high boost and long silicone legs on the bend i have seen then collapse under suction. i suppose the turbo is trying to pull so much air through the filter the hose just gives in?.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
