Hi!

My intercooler pipe on the passenger side between the "twin turbo" pipe and the intercooler has a massive hole in it now cos I clamped it on so tight after it repeatedly blew off in the past, so I'm after something a little more durable.

I've been quoted about $80 for just that hose from local wreckers/workshops to just over $100 for all four hoses that form the path to and from the intercooler (again second hand and still OEM rubber which will be over 10 years old, etc.))

I'm just wondering if it'll be better to spend the extra $300 or so to get the whole kit in hard pipes so it'll never happen again

The car is pretty much standard, so don't need anything too fancy.

I've been searching online all over ebay, the forums here and google and not finding much in terms of prices and places i can source them (locally in vic if possible to save on postage)

thanks!! :D

just replying to my own thread, only thing i've found online for a somewhat reasonable price is the

JJR Intercooler Hard Pipe Kit from Just Jap

I'm also checking with Slide about their Trust intercooler piping kit

The JJR one is from reports ok for a china kit.

Run away from the china "trust lookalike". They are trouble.

So long as it lines up and fits it probly doesnt matter where it comes from.

But JJR will back it up. SO that is always good.

simple soloution for you here

drop by mine afterwork leave your car behind take all your personal crap out of it and take my car...

lol

that sounds like a good ide-- wait. no!

what about silicon hoses? where can i find just that hose (dont need the whole kit like i've seen in some places for like $700 which replaces *all* the rubber hoses in the engine bay!) - i doubt autobarn and stuff would stock them ey?

hopefully just one hose will be less than $100 and will be brand new instead of $80 for another second hand rubber one...

Just an update. I ended up getting the Hard Pipe kit from Just Jap. Very happy now, hasn't budged a bit since I bolted it on nice and tight. Some very good quality clamps included, not like the ones in the pic on their site, which is a good thing cos they cos like $10 each from autobarn otherwise.

I've only put the top two pipes on cos cbf taking the front bar out, and the other hoses haven't given me any problems (yet) :thumbsup:

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
