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:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
