Yeah, Wiggins. 5 in total. Blown cooler pipes are no longer (unless the plenum one pops). No more taking front bars off!

Thinking about painting the airbox black, cutting a hole in the top of it and using the factory airbox snorkel to feed the box too. Can't hurt!?

Silicone is good for 40 psi or so, you will be fine !

Looking GOOD brother!

I like how they ran your piping. Mine is out to the side to make room for the PS reservoir and such, but I like yours a lot. Hypertune is top-notch stuff! I am always leary of 100% solid connections to the coolers because it seems they might induce stress on the piping and turbo manifolds when the engine torques around, but they don't have anything that looks as sexy as that to be honest!

Have a look. They move around quite a fair bit. More than enough when all combined I'd say. :)

My fabricator is trying to talk me out of going aluminium piping, those pics just about sealed the deal for me :) looks great. I'll need to do some reading on these so called Wiggins clamps

There isn't much you need to know, they are bright purple and very racecar. Just open up your wallet and prepare for butthurt when you hear the price.

On topic, I cannot wait for this to be done. The EFR looks very at home in there that's for sure.

Adel Wiggins clamps. They're actually aviation gear but can be used in automotive applications also. They're a bit of a homo colour but they're that colour so plane guys can see them.

Make sure you're sitting down when you see the price.

What's wrong with alloy piping? Does he want to use stainless?

Yeah we use them at work (I work in an aviation environment) and they are used for everything. If they can handle bleed air straight from a turbine compressor (80+ psi and a couple of hundred degrees Celsius) then they should stop a cooler pipe coming off ;)

You should ask about having them lockwired piggaz. Just for some extra security/piece of mind.

Lock wired is a bit too much. I really can't see these blowing off with 30-35 psi considering they're rated to 150-200 psi or something. If they do then there would be another issue like a busted engine mount.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
